In a historic football match, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) won their first-ever Champions League title by defeating Inter Milan 5-0 in the final. This match took place on Saturday and has become part of daily news highlights across the world. The final was held at the Allianz Arena in Germany, and the result is now the biggest winning margin ever seen in a Champions League final, which started in 1956.
PSG’s big win helped them complete a treble, as they had already won Ligue 1 (the French league) and the Coupe de France earlier this season.
1. Fast Start by PSG Shocks Inter Milan
PSG took the lead very early. In the 12th minute, Achraf Hakimi scored the first goal against his former club, Inter Milan. This goal was the earliest in a final since 2019. The play started when Vitinha passed the ball into the box, and Désiré Doué cleverly assisted Hakimi, who tapped the ball into the open net. Though Hakimi didn’t celebrate much, PSG fans went wild in the stadium.
Just eight minutes later, PSG doubled their lead. A shot by Doué hit Inter defender Federico Dimarco and went into the goal. The score was now 2-0, and Inter Milan looked completely out of ideas.
2. Désiré Doué Makes History
Désiré Doué, only 19 years old, became a big star in this final. He scored two goals and became the first teenager to score twice in a Champions League final since Eusebio did it in 1962.
- His second goal came in the 63rd minute when he calmly placed the ball into the bottom corner.
- Doué was full of emotion and could barely speak after the match. “I have no words. That was just incredible for me,” he said.
This was not only a proud moment for Doué but also for the young talent strategy that PSG adopted two years ago.
3. New PSG Strategy Pays Off
For over 10 years, PSG tried to win the Champions League by signing big stars like Lionel Messi, Neymar, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and Kylian Mbappé. But this plan never brought them the European title.
In the last two years, PSG changed their approach. They started signing young, talented players instead. This new plan has worked beautifully, and the team is now the champion of Europe. Interestingly, this is their first season without Mbappé, who left to join Real Madrid last summer to try and win the same title.
PSG is now only the second French team to win the Champions League. The first was Marseille in 1993.
4. More Goals and Celebrations
- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored the fourth goal for PSG just 10 minutes after Doué’s second.
- In the 86th minute, young substitute Senny Mayulu scored the fifth and final goal, only two minutes after coming onto the field.
This final result of 5-0 broke all previous records. It beat the previous largest finals wins of 4-0 by AC Milan and Bayern Munich.
Thousands of PSG fans celebrated this amazing moment by waving flags, lighting flares, and cheering loudly. Many Inter Milan supporters left the stadium early.
PSG Captain Marquinhos and Coach Luis Enrique Speak Out
Captain Marquinhos was emotional and happy after the game. He said, “This is the best day of my life. I think of all the players who came before and didn’t win. We did it for them and for all our fans around the world.”
Coach Luis Enrique also made history. He had earlier won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2015. Hakimi praised him, saying, “He has changed everything. He is loyal and truly deserves this.”
Daily News Highlights like this one show how football can be full of surprises and emotions. PSG’s win is a moment of joy for their fans and a major turning point in European football history.
