PSG Steamrolls Inter Milan for Maiden Champions League Title
No one who watched the Allianz Arena on May 31, 2025, could ignore what just happened. The Champions League found a new king as Paris Saint-Germain put Inter Milan to the sword, delivering a jaw-dropping 5-0 masterclass. This wasn’t just a win – it was the kind of night that will echo in football history.
From the opening minutes, the attitude from PSG was: all-out attack. Désiré Doué, the teenager who’s barely old enough to rent a car, played with zero fear and a cool head. He tucked away two goals like a seasoned veteran, leaving Inter’s center-backs shell-shocked. Just when it looked like things might settle, Kvicha Kvaratskhelia stepped up with clinical precision, driving the dagger in before Inter had even caught their breath.
Manager Luis Enrique deserves nearly as much credit as his players. His set-up was unmistakably bold. PSG pressed high, moved the ball in zippy, one-touch patterns, and swarmed every Inter possession. Every time Inter thought they had time, a PSG shirt came flying in. Vitinha ran the midfield show, stringing passes through tiny gaps, coolly setting the tempo, and keeping Inter’s defense constantly on edge.
Inter Milan Torn Apart Amid PSG’s Record Treble
Inter Milan didn’t walk into this final on a lucky streak. They took out heavyweights – Bayern Munich and Barcelona – on their way to Munich, but they met their match in a PSG side with relentless drive. The Italian midfield felt overwhelmed, and their defense—usually so reliable—crumbled as mistakes piled up under pressure.
Bradley Barcola, coming off the bench, pounced on one of those errors and slotted home another for Paris. Ousmane Dembélé, ever the livewire, tormented defenders all night and somehow didn’t add his name to the scoresheet, sending a few just wide or over. Honestly, the scoreline could have been even more embarrassing if PSG had finished every chance.
At the other end of the pitch, Inter’s keeper André Onana suffered. He was left exposed as PSG attacked in waves. His reactions were sharp, but there’s only so much one keeper can do when the back line is stretched half a pitch wide. Inter’s confidence visibly faded after each goal, and they never found a foothold in the match, a rare sight for a team usually so composed on big nights.
This wasn’t just about one game or one trophy. PSG’s win capped off a season where they also hoisted Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France. That’s a treble—a feat reserved for teams with true championship DNA. Until now, PSG was known for heartbreak and near-misses in Europe. Now, they’ve kicked the door down in style, raising their first Champions League trophy and announcing to the football world: Paris has truly arrived.
