Paris Saint-Germain have finally fulfilled their long-awaited European dream by winning the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history — and they did it in stunning style. On Saturday night in the 2025 final, the French giants steamrolled past Inter Milan with a 5-0 victory, marking the largest winning margin ever in a Champions League final.
Desire Doue Shines as PSG Dominate from Start to Finish
The night belonged to 19-year-old Desire Doue, who scored twice and played a key role in what will go down as one of the most dominant performances in a European final. From the opening whistle, PSG dictated the tempo, slicing through Inter’s experienced defense with ease.
Achraf Hakimi, a former Inter Milan player, opened the scoring in the 12th minute after a clever setup by Vitinha and Doue. Just eight minutes later, Ousmane Dembélé found Doue on the far side of the box. The teenager chested it down and fired a deflected shot past Yann Sommer to double PSG’s lead.
Tactical Masterclass from Luis Enrique
Luis Enrique, who guided Spain to a Euro final and managed Barcelona to Champions League success, orchestrated a near-perfect tactical game. His PSG side, once teetering on the edge of elimination in the group stage, peaked when it mattered most.
The team maintained possession and tore through Inter with slick movement, quick transitions, and clinical finishing. Vitinha and Dembélé controlled the midfield and wings, repeatedly stretching Inter’s back line.
In the 63rd minute, Vitinha once again fed Doue in the area, and the young Frenchman calmly slotted home his second of the night to make it 3-0.
Inter Collapse Under Pressure
Despite their pedigree and experience in European competition, Inter Milan had no answer to PSG’s relentless pressure. Their defenders were overrun, and their midfield was bypassed with ease.
The fourth goal came in the 73rd minute when Dembélé picked out Khvicha Kvaratskhelia with a brilliant long pass. The Georgian winger sprinted clear and finished clinically at the near post. By then, even the PSG bench knew the trophy was heading to Paris.
The final nail came three minutes before full-time. Substitute Bradley Barcola set up Senny Mayulu, who slammed the ball past Sommer to complete the 5-0 rout.
French Fans Celebrate Long-Awaited Triumph
The celebrations were electric. PSG fans, who had waited decades for this moment and endured heartbreak in the 2020 final loss to Bayern Munich, erupted in joy as the final whistle sounded.

This Champions League title is not only a historic milestone for the club but also a vindication of the Qatari-backed project that began over a decade ago. Despite criticism for overspending and falling short in Europe year after year, PSG have finally delivered — and in some style.
Desire Doue: The New Star of European Football
Doue’s performance cemented his status as one of Europe’s brightest young talents. Scoring two goals and assisting another in the biggest match of his career, the 19-year-old showed composure, vision, and the maturity of a seasoned professional.
With PSG’s old guard like Neymar, Messi, and Mbappé gone, a new generation led by Doue, Kvaratskhelia, and Vitinha is emerging — and Saturday’s final may have been their coming-out party on the grandest stage of all.
A New Chapter in PSG’s History
This resounding victory doesn’t just mark the club’s first Champions League trophy — it signifies a turning point. No longer just a team of high-priced stars, PSG under Luis Enrique look like a united, hungry, and cohesive footballing force.
As the celebrations continue in Paris, one thing is certain: European football has a new champion, and they won’t be giving up their crown easily.
