Inter's Hakan Calhanoglu was shell-shocked by half-time
PSG won the Champions League for first time - and Luis Enrique became the first manager to win the continental treble with two different teams - the other being Barcelona.
But there was only one team in it. After a blistering start, Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring in the 11th minute.
And while he didn't celebrate against his former side, soon PSG doubled their lead when Doue's back-post strike bobbled in.
But after going toe-to-toe with Barca in two of the best-ever UCL semi-finals, Inter had no answers for PSG, who have now scored 152 goals this season.

The 36-year-old Swiss stopper was left standing when Doue's shot took a nick off Dimarco for 2-0.
Did well to avoid 3-0 in 30 minutes when he held Ruiz's skiddy effort. Was let down by his back-line in the second half.
Benjamin Pavard - 3

Great touches at times but was disjointed with his team-mates when it came to crossing the ball in.

Was caught out of position when Inter lost the ball, with PSG so lethal on the break. Not physical enough.
Francesco Acerbi - 3

Was booked for dissent in the 70th minute. And fell on his backside when Bradley Barcola skipped past him before denying his side 5-0.

Was completely missing throughout his 90 minutes, but not exactly his fault as Inter struggled to get him on the ball.
Federico Dimarco - 2
Lack of concentration cost his team. He was far too deep for PSG's opener and kept assister Doue onside for Hakimi's slick tap-in.
The Italian's nightmare start was made worse when he was caught napping for 2-0 before turning his back for Doue's goal, which deflected off him.
Every PSG ball went out to his side after that - the left-back was a like a rabbit in headlights against teenager Doue and Dembele.

Was hauled off in the 54th minute, with Paris fans doing the Poznan.
Hakan Calhanoglu - 5
Cut a frustrated figure as his team were utterly dominated in the first 20 minutes. The camera kept panning to his sad face.
The midfielder delivered brilliant corners for Acerbi and Thuram's big chances in the first half.
But he scuffed a real opportunity with a shocking outhit free-kick just after half-time.

Nicolo Barella - 5
Barella tried to let the ball run out for a corner at the other end before 2-0 but he had not reckoned on the pace of this PSG side.
