The biggest Champions League final wins ever as PSG set new record
PSG set a new Uefa Champions League record when they beat Inter Milan 5-0 on Saturday, the biggest ever win in a final in the competition's history.
It's not the first time one side has won the decider by a comprehensive margin, but the Parisians' performance stands above all else.
The biggest Uefa Champions League final wins ever:
Paris Saint-Germain 5-0 Internazionale (2024/25)
Things could not have gone worse for Inter Milan, but conversely every single thing went right for PSG as they won the Champions League for the first time.

AC Milan 4-0 Barcelona (1993/94)
Johan Cruyff's Dream Team were an absolutely delightful side to watch, but they were ruthlessly swept aside by Fabio Capello's AC Milan in 1994.
The Rossoneri, who were missing several key players, entered the match as underdogs but went into halftime two goals up thanks to a brace from Daniele Massaro.
Dejan Savićević added a third quickly after the break, before Marcel Desailly sealed the win with a curled finish in the 58th minute. Until this season it was the only Champions League final decided by a four-goal margin.

Real Madrid 4-1 Juventus (2016/17)
Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid secured their 12th crown in comfortable fashion at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, becoming the first team to retain the title since the competition rebranded in 1992.
Cristiano Ronaldo's opener was cancelled out by Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic, but Casemiro put Los Blancos back in front on the hour mark. Ronaldo struck again minutes later before Marco Asensio put the cherry on top of a dominant performance with a 90th-minute goal.
Real Madrid 4-1 Atlético Madrid (2013/14)
Atletico Madrid came agonisingly close to winning their first Champions League in 2014, holding a lead for the vast majority of the final against Real Madrid before being hit with a dagger at the last moment.

Sergio Ramos cancelled out Diego Godin's first-half goal with a header in the 93rd minute, sending the game to extra time. From that point on it was a rout.
Gareth Bale, Marcelo and Ronaldo all scored to bring home a long-awaited La Decima.
FC Porto 3-0 Monaco (2003/04)
Little did we know at the time that this result would pave the way for Jose Mourinho to become one of the most dominant figures in football over the next two decades.
'The Special One' guided Porto to an unlikely second European crown, just a year after winning the Uefa Cup, in 2004, knocking out Manchester United, Lyon and Deportivo La Coruna on the way to the final.

In Gelsenkirchen they convincingly beat Didier Deschamps' Monaco by a three-goal margin, with the goals coming from Carlos Alberto, Deco and Dmitri Alenichev.
Real Madrid 3-0 Valencia (1999/2000)
The first Champions League final between two clubs from the same country offered Real Madrid the chance to redeem a poor league campaign, finishing fifth in the table with just 62 points.
Valencia, who finished third in La Liga that season, were marginal favourites heading into the tie, but were thoroughly beaten in the Stade de France. Fernando Morientes and Steve McManaman put Real two up before Raul wrapped it up in the closing stages.
