New Delhi – History was made on a dazzling night in Munich as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) finally completed their long-pursued mission of European dominance, crushing Inter Milan 5-0 to win their first-ever UEFA Champions League title.

It wasn’t just a win—it was a record-breaking final, with PSG becoming the first team in Champions League history to secure a five-goal margin in a European Cup final. This unforgettable triumph not only cements PSG's place in European football’s elite but also signals a bold new era for the French giants.

⚽ A Historic Night in Munich

From the first whistle, it was clear PSG came with one goal: to dominate. Achraf Hakimi, facing his former club, opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a composed finish that set the tone. Desire Doue, just 19 years old, dazzled with a brace—netting in the 19th and 63rd minutes—and became the youngest player since Eusebio in 1962 to score twice in a Champions League final.

The French side’s relentless pressing and fluid attacking movements left Inter shell-shocked. While the Italian giants attempted to mount resistance, PSG’s midfield control and disciplined defense gave Gianluigi Donnarumma little to do.

💫 Kvaratskhelia and Mayulu Seal the Rout

As Inter pushed forward to salvage pride, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia made them pay, finishing off a lightning counterattack in the 73rd minute. Then came the final nail in the coffin: substitute Senny Mayulu added a fifth goal in the 86th minute, prompting an explosion of celebration among the travelling PSG faithful.

🏆 First French Club to Win Since 1993

This night in Munich brought back echoes of 1993—when Olympique Marseille became the first and only French club to win the European Cup. Remarkably, PSG's win also came in Munich and against another Italian side, making the symmetry even more poetic.

🎙️ Voices of Victory

PSG midfielder Vitinha, overwhelmed with emotion, said:
"It means everything! The fans are the reason we wanted to win this trophy. It's everyone's dream. The team is very good, and the result is not by magic."

Coach Luis Enrique, who joins Pep Guardiola as one of only two managers to win the treble with two different clubs, declared:
"Since day one, I said I wanted to win important trophies. Paris had never won the Champions League. We did it. It’s a great feeling to make so many people happy."

🔍 Tactical Brilliance and Youthful Energy

PSG’s success was not just about individual brilliance—it was a product of Enrique’s tactical plan. The team blended youthful energy with experienced leadership, showcasing a deep squad capable of adapting, pressing, and finishing clinically.

Their European journey this season was nothing short of dominant, and tonight's performance proved they’ve outgrown the “nearly men” tag that haunted them for years.
