Paris Saint-Germain have finally got their hands on the Champions League trophy.
In the first season after the Kylian Mbappé era came to a close, PSG blossomed into everything they were supposed to be over the past five years, roaring to a 5–0 victory over Inter to secure the biggest win in the history of the Champions League.
PSG wasted little time taking control of the game, and they were ahead after just 12 minutes. Désiré Doué found Achraf Hakimi completely alone in the six-yard box and the former Inter man refused to celebrate as he tapped home.
Hakimi is better than Trent

Opening goal in the champions league final and not celebrating, grow up Hakimi.

The Parisian onslaught continued and they doubled their lead just eight minutes later. Doué led the celebrations this time after Federico Dimarco, who fell asleep for the opening goal, deflected his strike into the back of the net.

When PSG play like this there’s almost nothing anyone can do. Dominating the ball and killing Inter on the break. Pacho has become one of Europe’s most underrated centre backs. Don’t underestimate his role in that goal.

Di Marco should ask to come off

Guys gunna cost inter 2 ucls
Amid the spectacle of the final, Hakimi provided plenty of entertainment on his own.
A right-back by trade, Hakimi found himself in nearly every position on the pitch. It became impossible to predict where he would pop up as his movement pulled Inter’s once-resolute defence apart with ease.
At some point we should really agree that Hakimi is a different beast,the guy is a right back,winger and striker!#UELfinal

Dembele moved to midfield and Hakimi is literally drifting into the Center forward position. Lmao. I told this man that PSG don’t need a traditional striker like Osimhen. This rotation is what helps them open up teams.

Marcus Thuram should have headed one back for Inter 10 minutes before the interval, but that was as close as Simeone Inzaghi’s side came in a first half which was dominated by PSG.
With 62% possession, 13 shots compared to Inter’s two and almost twice as many accurate passes, there felt like only one possible outcome from this game.
been all PSG so far, this does not look like the same Inter that played against Barca...

PSG might be saving football. Pep and Arteta were trying to convince the world that you needed CBs at FB, “he’s inverted, I’m inverted”, boring horseshoe possession football.

The only thing PSG did well when Messi was there was Jersey Design.

There were more signs of life about Inter after the break, but it meant nothing as PSG added a third shortly after the hour break.
Some lovely passes from Ousmane Dembélé and Vitinha sent Doué through on goal, and the young winger made no mistake to guarantee the trophy would be heading back to Paris.
Doue > yamal I’ve seen enough

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia was next up to celebrate, racing through on goal and driving into the bottom corner to become the first Georgian goalscorer in Champions League history.
I was going to say PSG look so much better without the big name players but, well, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. #UCLfinal
— Michael Potts (@MichaelPotts_) May 31, 2025
Arteta must answer for his crimes. Kvaratskhelia was available and we got Sterling… market opportunities

History was made when young substitute Senny Mayulu netted a fifth to seal the biggest margin of victory in the history of the Champions League.
Senny Mayulu's celebration was worth the admission price alone.

The youngster didn't know what to do.
A moment he will never forget.
Dembele is bigger at PSG THAN mbappe
