Is PSG's 5-0 victory over Inter Milan the biggest UEFA Champions League final win ever?
On June 01, 2025, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) made history by securing their first-ever UEFA Champions League title with a stunning 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the 2024/25 final. This monumental win at the Parc des Princes not only crowned PSG as European champions but also completed a remarkable treble, following their Ligue 1 and Coupe de France successes earlier in the season. But is this 5-0 rout the biggest win in Champions League final history? Let's dive into the match highlights and compare this result to past finals. Match Highlights: PSG's Dominant Display
PSG delivered a masterclass performance, overwhelming Inter Milan with relentless pace, precision, and attacking firepower. Nineteen-year-old winger Desire Doue emerged as the star, scoring twice—once in each half—solidifying his status as a rising global superstar. Former Inter player Achraf Hakimi added to the Italian side's misery with a clinical finish, while Georgian forward Kvicha Kvaratskhelia also got on the scoresheet, underlining PSG's dominance. The fifth goal sealed a one-sided affair, leaving Inter Milan unable to respond and marking their second Champions League final loss in three years. Is This the Biggest Champions League Final Win Ever?
To determine if PSG's 5-0 victory is the largest in Champions League final history, we need to compare it to past results. The UEFA Champions League, rebranded from the European Cup in 1992, has seen some remarkable finals, but blowouts are rare. Below, we examine the biggest margins of victory in finals since 1992 and notable European Cup finals before that. Biggest Champions League Final Wins (Post-1992)
Bayern Munich 4-0 Atlético Madrid (1974, European Cup, replay)
While not technically under the Champions League branding, this replay match after a 1-1 draw remains a benchmark for dominant finals.
AC Milan 4-0 Barcelona (1994)
AC Milan's stunning 4-0 win over a favored Barcelona side, led by goals from Daniele Massaro (2), Dejan Savićević, and Marcel Desailly, holds the record for the largest margin in the modern Champions League era.
Real Madrid 4-1 Juventus (2017)
Cristiano Ronaldo's brace, alongside goals from Casemiro and Marco Asensio, secured a 4-1 victory for Real Madrid in Cardiff.
Bayern Munich 4-1 Chelsea (2020, aggregate in quarter-finals)
While not a final, this two-leg tie in the pandemic-affected 2019/20 season showcased Bayern's dominance, though single-match finals are our focus. PSG's 5-0 Win in Context
PSG's 5-0 triumph over Inter Milan surpasses the modern Champions League record of 4-0 set by AC Milan in 1994. The five-goal margin is unprecedented in the competition's final since the 1992 rebranding of the competition. Even in the European Cup era (1955–1992), the largest single-match final win was Real Madrid's 7-3 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in 1960, a 4-goal margin. However, PSG's 5-0 result stands out for its clean sheet and sheer dominance, making it arguably the most one-sided Champions League final in the modern era.

79 detained in Paris as more violence disrupts PSG's Champions League celebrations
PARIS — French authorities detained an additional 79 people as violence continued to disrupt Paris Saint-Germain's celebrations of its historic Champions League title, the Paris police chief said on Monday. After more than 100,000 people welcomed the return of PSG players to the French capital following their 5-0 thrashing of Inter Milan in the Champions League final on Saturday, a second night of scattered incidents ensued. Laurent Nunez, the Paris police prefect, told RTL radio that groups of individuals gathered close to PSG stadium and on the Champs-Elysees avenue after midnight, causing trouble. Nunez said some using barriers blocked the main ring road surrounding Paris for a while, and that other troublemakers set off fireworks and tried to vandalize shops. Nunez said calm was restored at 3:30 a.m. on Monday. PSG had earlier put on an open-top bus parade in the city for its fans. The winners of European club soccer's biggest prize arrived in Paris on Sunday afternoon and headed to France's most famous avenue, the Champs-Élysées, which overnight Saturday saw acts of violence and clashes with riot police. Police had made more than 500 arrests across France on Saturday night. 'The overall number of arrests is very high, it is completely unprecedented,' Nunez said. Celebrations were largely peaceful but degenerated into violence in some areas. A 17-year-old boy was stabbed to death in the western city of Dax during a PSG street party after the final, the national police service said. In Paris, a man in his 20s was killed in Paris when his scooter was hit by a car during PSG celebrations.

Napoli Targeting €45M Rated Inter Milan Star To Strengthen For Serie A Title Defense & Champions League
Napoli are targeting Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi to strengthen for their Serie A title defense and the Champions League. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Advertisement There is no doubt that this is a decisive juncture for Davide Frattesi at Inter Milan. Reportedly, the 25-year-old had a blowup with Simone Inzaghi during the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. He was furious that the Inter coach didn't use him as a substitute. And this has brought to a head Frattesi's persistent frustrations about his playing time at Inter. The Italian international may not have left the Nerazzurri in January. However, he could certainly be on his way this summer. Napoli Target Inter Midfielder Davide Frattesi To Strengthen For Serie A Title Defense VENICE, ITALY – JANUARY 12: Davide Frattesi of FC Internazionale during the warm up before the Serie A match between Venezia and FC Internazionale at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo on January 12, 2025 in Venice, Italy. (Photo by) If Frattesi is to leave Inter this summer, he would not be short of suitors. Advertisement And according to the Corriere, Napoli may be the club ready to push the hardest to sign Frattesi. The Partenopei are fresh off the back of their second Serie A title win in three seasons. And after having had no European football last season, a key factor in their consistent form in the league, they'll have to bolster their squad depth now that they have Champions League football. According to the Corriere, Davide Frattesi would be one of Napoli's priority targets to bolster their midfield. However, the newspaper notes, Inter still won't let Frattesi go for cheap. Even in spite of his desire to leave. The Corriere anticipate that Inter want a fee of around €45 million for Frattesi.
