PSG Triumph Over Inter, Claiming Immortal Glory as Enrique Secures First European Cup for Paris
With Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe in their ranks, and a parade of other superstars before them, Paris Saint-Germain is now embracing youth that captivates and beautifies the game. They also boast a remarkable coach skilled at transforming this young talent into an unstoppable force.
Munich has once again made history, as Paris Saint-Germain claimed their first European championship, decisively defeating Inter 5-0 in the Champions League final—the most convincing victory in the history of this prestigious competition.
Following the Marseille Olympics, France now celebrates another champion of the continent’s premier tournament.
This season saw PSG shine against formidable teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, Aston Villa, and Arsenal, culminating in a final performance filled with dominance, flair, and goals against Inter.
The squad, averaging just over 25 years old, includes standout players such as Desire Due (who scored twice and provided an assist), Achraf Hakimi, Hvicha Kvarachelia, and Seni Majulu. Chief among them is their coach, Luis Enrique, who secured his second European championship since his peak with Barça in 2015. His daughter, Sana, who celebrated this victory in spirit, must be looking down with pride.
From the outset, it was clear this would be a night infused with Parisian elegance—Luis Enrique’s team aimed to secure a result that would lead them to immortality, scoring their first goal in just 12 minutes.
Vitinha, Due, and Hakimi made a beeline for the Inter goal—a career-defining strike for the Moroccan, who chose not to celebrate out of respect for his former club.
Inter appeared bewildered, struggling to shake off the pressure, and when they finally aimed to pose a threat in PSG’s territory, they were met with a swift counterattack.
Vilijan Paćo thwarted an Inter corner, with the ball eventually landing at Hviča Kvarachelia’s feet. The Georgian maestro set up Dembele, who found Due to double the tally to 2-0.
The second half mirrored the first, with Inter’s initial shot on target occurring only in the 75th minute—a solid effort from Marcus Thuram that Gianluigi Donnarumma expertly saved, highlighting PSG’s dominance at the Munich football cathedral.
The perfect night was capped off by another goal from Due in the 63rd minute, Kvarachelia’s strike in the 73rd, and a late goal from the young Seni Majulu in the 86th.
This remarkable season, defined by its Parisian flair, will be remembered as one showcasing the formidable power of Paris Saint-Germain.
