Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League for the first time in rampant style, producing the biggest margin of victory in the final of the competition after beating Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich.
Luis Enrique’s side, who beat Man City, Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal on their way to the final, had the weight of trying to make history on their shoulders, but it never affected them. The French side’s press was relentless and they knocked the ball around with authority right from the first whistle as they went on to complete a historic treble.
Inter had no answers all night.
PSG cut through their defence with ease as early as the 12th minute, Vitinha’s pass releasing Desire Doue inside the box. The 19-year-old could have taken a shot on but showed composure beyond his years, rolling the ball across to Achraf Hakimi for a tap-in.
PSG were rampant and they had their second eight minutes later. There was fortune in the strike from Doue but there was nothing fortunate about the move before he found the net.

It started with Willian Pacho, who did brilliantly to keep the ball in from going out for a Inter corner. It set PSG away. Ousmane Dembele charged into acres of space before picking out Doue, whose shot to a nick off Federico Dimarco. before beating a helpless Yann Sommer.
The PSG dominance continue after the break with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia wasting two good opportunities before Doue added his second of the night. Dembele’s sublime no-look flick released Vitinha, who slid the ball through for Doue to finish into the bottom corner.
It was relentless from PSG and they showed no signs of stopping. Dembele sent the ball beyond a tired Inter defence, and Kvaratskhelia scampered away and rolled the ball past Sommer.
Inter looked out on their feet and there was more misery to come for the Italians. Senny Mayulu’s strike crashed in off the post to round off an historic night for the Ligue 1 side.
