PSG Crush Inter 5-0 to Win First Champions League Title and Complete European Treble

Posted : 01 June 2025

Paris Saint-Germain achieved a historic milestone by clinching their first UEFA Champions League title with a staggering 5-0 victory over Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena. The win also completed a remarkable treble for the French club, who had already secured the Ligue 1 title and the French Cup earlier in the season. This emphatic result marked the largest margin of victory in a Champions League final, a statement of dominance by Luis Enrique’s side.

The star of the night was 19-year-old Desiree Dua, who was surprisingly preferred over Barcola in the starting lineup. Dua made an immediate impact, assisting Achraf Hakimi’s opener in the 12th minute and then scoring the second himself just eight minutes later. PSG completely controlled the first half, while Inter failed to register a single shot on target. The French side’s fluid and aggressive play left their opponents struggling to keep up.

In the second half, PSG showed no signs of slowing down. Dua scored his second of the night in the 63rd minute, becoming the first player since 1964 to be involved in three goals in a Champions League final. Shortly after, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added the fourth goal, and 19-year-old substitute Sani Maiolo sealed the rout with an 86th-minute strike. Inter Milan, overwhelmed and outplayed, were unable to respond and ended their season without a trophy.

This victory was more than just a trophy—it was symbolic. Since the club’s acquisition by Qatari owners in 2011, winning the Champions League had remained an elusive dream despite heavy investment. With the departure of superstar Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid last summer, many thought PSG would falter. Instead, they emerged stronger as a cohesive unit, achieving glory with a squad whose average age was just 23.6 years, making this victory potentially the start of a new era.

PSG's path to the final wasn’t smooth, especially during the group stages. However, once they found their rhythm, they stormed through the knockouts, eliminating Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal with flair and confidence. This campaign also saw PSG score 33 goals—more than in any of their previous European campaigns—highlighting their attacking prowess and tactical maturity under Enrique.

For Inter Milan, the defeat marked their second loss in a Champions League final in three years. Their season, once full of promise, ended in disappointment after also missing out on the Serie A title and the Coppa Italia. Coach Simone Inzaghi, who has been pivotal in rebuilding the team, could be heading for a new challenge in Saudi Arabia, signaling the possible end of an era for the Nerazzurri.
