Dominant PSG crush Inter Milan to end long quest for Champions League glory
Désiré Doué scored a brace as a dominant Paris Saint-Germain trounced Inter Milan 5-0 to clinch their maiden Champions League title, ending the Parisians' long quest for the biggest prize in European football.
Désiré Doué scored twice to inspire Paris Saint-Germain to their first European Cup triumph with an emphatic 5-0 win over Inter Milan in a one-sided Champions League final on Saturday.
Doué, 19, produced a dazzling display, setting up Achraf Hakimi to open the scoring from close range after 12 minutes before doubling the lead with a deflected effort eight minutes later.
He put the outcome beyond doubt with a crisp finish into the bottom corner in the 63rd minute before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ran free to bury PSG 's fourth goal and substitute Senny Mayulu completed the rout.
After losing in the final to Bayern Munich in 2020, Luis Enrique's side, who teetered on the brink of elimination in the league phase this season, finally claimed the trophy their big-spending Qatari owners have craved.

PSG celebrates Champions League victory throughout Paris: 'It's like the 1998 World Cup'
Blue and red were everywhere, even lighting up the Eiffel Tower. Some gray and white shirts, and even pink and yellow, though less frequent, also made appearances throughout the entire weekend of Saturday, May 31, and Sunday, June 1, as streets, sidewalks and metro stations of Paris became the scene of a multicolored parade rarely seen, not even during Fashion Week. By the hundreds and thousands, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) supporters proudly wore their colors. On Saturday, they paraded with caution, as if intimidated by the upcoming event. On Sunday, after what many called their most beautiful night as fans – PSG's sweeping victory over Inter Milan (5-0) in the Champions League final in Munich, Germany – tens of thousands flocked to the Champs-Elysées to celebrate their heroes. Paris Police capped the gathering at 110,000, all gathered on the same side of the avenue. They came, they were all there, packed tightly together or, for the bolder ones, perched atop a bus shelter, a newsstand or traffic lights. From the Rond-Point des Champs-Elysées to Place de l'Etoile stretched a human ribbon of jubilation over a kilometer long, a rare sight in Paris. Many wore their finest PSG outfits, representing the club's 50-year history, with sometimes forgotten sponsors and the names of past and present stars on their backs: Dembélé and Marquinhos, of course, but also Messi, Neymar, Mbappé, even Verratti or Pastore, and a few personal nicknames like "Toto" or "Gege."
