PSG rout Inter Milan 5-0 to claim historic Champions League title
Paris Saint-Germain delivered a performance for the ages to secure their first-ever UEFA Champions League title, dismantling Inter Milan 5-0 in a record-breaking final at the Allianz Arena in Munich. From the opening whistle, PSG imposed their authority with relentless pressing and attacking flair. The French champions took the lead in the 12th minute when Moroccan Achraf Hakimi, facing his former club, finished off a sweeping move initiated by Vitinha and Desire Doue. Just eight minutes later, Desire Doue doubled PSG's advantage with a strike that deflected off Inter defender Federico Dimarco, leaving goalkeeper Yann Sommer helpless. Inter, who came into the match seeking their fourth European crown, struggled to cope with PSG's pace and intensity. The Italian side's best chance of the first half came from a Marcus Thuram header, which sailed narrowly wide. By halftime, PSG were firmly in control, leading 2-0 and looking every bit the champions-elect. The second half saw PSG turn dominance into a rout. The 19-year-old Doue added his second and PSG's third with a calm finish after a devastating counter-attack just after the hour mark. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia then made it 4-0, slotting home after being released by Ousmane Dembélé. The record margin was sealed when substitute Senny Mayulu, another 19-year-old, found the net two minutes later, capping a night of celebration for the Parisian side. This emphatic victory is not only PSG's first Champions League triumph but also the largest margin of victory in a European Cup final, surpassing AC Milan's 4-0 win over Barcelona in 1994. Under manager Luis Enrique, PSG's blend of youth and experience proved too much for Inter, who were left shell-shocked by the scale of the defeat. Having already clinched Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France, PSG complete a historic treble, firmly establishing themselves as Europe's dominant force this season. --- Make sure to check out our social media to keep track of the latest content.

PSG vs Inter Milan player ratings — Who starred in Champions League League final?
Desire Doue, Achraf Hakimi and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia all scored at least once in PSG's battering of Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday, but they were hardly the only ones to earn rave reviews from first to last whistle. PSG 5-0 INTER MILAN — Video highlights, recap & analysis Below are the PSG vs Inter Milan player ratings out of 10, plus analysis, as plenty of stars rose to the occasion… PSG player ratings Gianluigi Donnarumma: 7 — How disappointing for Gigi, whose name was being thrown into theoretical Ballon d'Or debates leading up to the final, that he didn't have to make a single save for 74 minutes after sometimes singlehandedly dragging PSG through the knockout rounds. Just kidding, he deserved the rest. Achraf Hakimi: 9 — The way that PSG use Hakimi (and Mendes on the left) is just a nightmare to face. He goes central, he gets all the way forward in attack and now he scores goals in Champions League finals. He's also an incredibly effective presser against the other team's backline, because of where he is on the field. Hakimi a truly unique player that not every coach in the world would fully grasp how to best utilize, but fortunately Luis Enrique is one of the special few and continues to elevate him even more. ACHRAF HAKIMI OPENS THE SCORING FOR PSG 💥 Marquinhos: 7.5 — Lautaro Martinez, Inter's second-leading scorer lined up on the left, was a total non-factor with just one touch in PSG's penalty area and just three passes into the final third. PSG's press typically puts a ton of strain on their center backs, but it was so successful against Inter that Marquinhos and Pacho spent more time sweeping up than emergency scrambling back toward their own goal. Willian Pacho: 7 — Always seems to be in the right place at the right time to make a crucial play, and that's so important for a team that defend as aggressively as PSG do. Nuno Mendes: 7 — A bit more of a defensive assignment, plus whatever effect he felt from the injury that nearly forced him off midway through the first half, but that was the job and he did it well. Vitinha: 8 — There are ball-winning defensive midfielders, and there are ball-playing defensive midfielders. What PSG have in Vitinha is the very best of both, and he absolutely ran the show in the final. Ruben Neves: 7 — Did a ton of the midfield dirty work (as he always does) that allows both Vitinha and Ruiz to operate with more freedom behind and ahead of him. He's already one of the best in the world at 20 years old. Fabian Ruiz: 7.5 — Not his most threatening game as an attacker, but a key cog in PSG's press that completely overwhelmed Inter in midfield and put a stranglehold on this game from the very start. Desire Doue: 9.5 — Between the ice-cold finish for his second goal, and the slick turn and pass to assist Hakimi for the opener, the 19-year-old already looks a real bargain after signing for $57 million last summer. Side note: France might be pretty good for a while. DÉSIRÉ DOUÉ DELIVERS A BRACE IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL 🇫🇷🔥 HE'S ONLY 19 YEARS OLD 🤯 Khvicha Kvaratskhelia: 7.5 — Deserved his goal for all of the relentless defensive work he did up until that point. One of the best attacking wingers in the world, and he works his socks off without the ball. Anyone noticing a theme yet? Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scores the fourth and PSG moves closer to their first ever UEFA Champions League 🇫🇷 Ousmane Dembele: 7.5 — A pair of assists in the Champions League final, to cap off the best goal-scoring season of your career (by a mile)? 21 goals in the league, 8 more in Europe. Ballon d'Or? A slick build-up sets the stage for Désiré Doué to score PSG's second 😤 Inter Milan player ratings Yann Sommer: 4 — Sommer didn't do anything that stood out as a big mistake, but you have to pick the ball out of your net five times in a final and you're never going to be able to forget it. Benjamin Pavard: 5 — Kept Kvaratskhelia relatively quiet until he scored in the 73rd minute. Francesco Acerbi: 4 — Unlucky to deflect PSG's second goal and wrong-foot Sommer, but all of the backline was hung out to dry far too many times. Alessandro Bastoni: 4.5 — Couldn't cope with Doue and Dembele running at him, but then who could? Denzel Dumfries: 5 — Almost nonexistent in possession (not through fault of his own), which neutralized any and all ball progression by Inter. Nicolo Barella: 6 — The only one from Inter's midfield that offered anything in the final third. Hakan Calhanoglu: 5 — Of all the players in Inter's team you'd expect to be able to handle a press with the ball at your feet, Calhanoglu wasn't supposed to be one of the ones to struggle. Without the ball, he's simply too much of a passenger. Henrikh Mkhitaryan: 4.5 — Of all the players in Inter's team you'd expect to be able to handle a press with the ball at your feet, Mkhitaryan wasn't supposed to be one of the ones to struggle. Without the ball, he's simply too much of a passenger. Federico Dimarco: 4.5 — The one that Hakimi targeted in the press, and a source of so much of what went right for PSG. Marcus Thuram: 5.5 — Had two of Inter's best scoring chances and forced one of Donnarumma's two saves. Lautaro Martinez: 5 — As stated above, a non-factor.

Three things we learned from the UEFA Champions League Final as PSG clobber Inter Milan
Paris Saint-Germain are champions of Europe for the first tim and will head to the Club World Cup as national and continental champions following a 5-0 beatdown of Inter Milan on Saturday in Munich. MORE — PSG 5-0 Inter Milan recap Here's what we learned from a dominant coronation in Germany. Give Luis Enrique his flowers as PSG's slow league phase proves no predictor The final days of the league phase had both Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain among the giants concerned with just making it to the knockout rounds, let alone earning a bye. PSG was cruising in Ligue 1 but opened the Champions League with an uninspiring win over Girona followed by losses to Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, and Bayern Munich plus a home draw with PSV Eindhoven. They rebounded to reach the final stage, and not only found their footing but impressed in dominating Brest, beating Liverpool at Anfield, out-firing Aston Villa, and then sweeping Arsenal aside to reach the final. It was natural to question Enrique's chops given his only trophies had come with Lionel Messi's Barcelona and domestically with French powers PSG but those questions will now fall on deaf ears. Throw in the weight that comes from PSG's overwhelming desire to win the European Cup, and Enrique really embossed the text on his resume this season. Inter Milan's midfield made moot In theory, Inter should've had a good chance to win the midfield given both the numbers and experience. That did not happen, as Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, and Joao Neves controlled the middle of the park and Simone Inzaghi used four of his first five subs on midfielders. It changed almost nothing. Vitinha in particular was unshakeable, and PSG's attackers had no worries in pushing forward without care for what might lay behind them. Doue does what Neymar (and many others) could not PSG can look to its youth — and the rest of the young prime players in France — and tell them now, 'You really don't need to leave to win everything.' Les Parisiens have boasted World Cup winners and now have seen their colors atop the UEFA Champions League mountain. Neymar 1+1 - Paris SG's Désiré Doué is the sixth different player to both score and assist in a UEFA Champions League final, while at 19 years and 362 days, he's the youngest to do so. Star.
