PSG Triumphs Over Inter Milan in the Champions League Final, Displaying No Mercy.
In a historic night, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) clinched the coveted Champions League title in a one-sided final against Inter Milan in Munich. The game ended in a decisive 5-0 victory for the French powerhouse, marking the highest winning margin in a Champions League final.
In the absence of star players like Messi, Neymar, and Mbappé, PSG showcased their depth with a brilliant team performance and the outstanding play of 19-year-old teenager Déyré Doué. The victory also marked the end of a long pursuit of the coveted title for the Qatari-backed club.
The Champions League trophy, affectionately known as the "Holy Grail," now stands proudly in Paris for the first time. The Eiffel Tower was illuminated in the club's colors to celebrate the triumph, as the Emir of Qatar rejoiced in the success of his billion-dollar project.
PSG surpassed record-holders Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and AC Milan, who all won by a four-goal margin in the past. The French club set a new record for the highest win in a Champions League final.
In the game, former Dortmund player Achraf Hakimi scored the opening goal in the 12th minute, and Doué added two more before the hour mark. Chwitscha Kwarazchelia and Senny Mayulu sealed the victory late in the game.
Inter Milan, three-time champions, endured their fourth final defeat. The game marked their first appearance in the final since 2010, and they couldn't overcome the aggressive pressing style of PSG.
For PSG, this victory banishes the ghosts of their only previous final appearance, a 0-1 defeat against Bayern Munich in 2020. Meanwhile, Bayern were represented in the final by Alphonso Davies, who lamented that they should have been the ones lifting the trophy.
On the pitch, PSG dominated from the start. Coach Luis Enrique had intended for his team to enjoy the incredible atmosphere and play attractive football, which they did to perfection. Inter, on the other hand, struggled to create chances against PSG's resilient defense.
In a separate development, Dutch football legend Marco van Basten criticized UEFA for the show before the final, calling it "absolutely idiotic."
The victory securing a bonus of 6.5 million euros, PSG will now bank a total of 150 million euros from the Champions League. The victory ignited celebrations among the fans in Paris and Munich, with the ultras in the north curve lighting fireworks in Munich.
In the Olympic Park, 23,000 fans enjoyed the official fan festival, while 64,500 spectators in the Allianz Arena celebrated a grand football party with a performance by US rockers Linkin Park.

The victory in the Champions League final not only secured a significant monetary bonus for Paris Saint-Germain but also marked a crucial step in the development of less favored regions, as community aid for regional development may be availed through the investment of the 150 million euros earned. Meanwhile, in the realm of sports, Paris Saint-Germain's champions-league triumph was a clear testament to the power of teamwork and individual skill, evidenced by the outstanding performance of 19-year-old Déyré Doué and the domination they showed on the football field.
