# PSG crush Inter Milan 5-0 to win first Champions League title

Event date: 2025-05-31

Paris Saint-Germain have won the Champions League for the first time, beating Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich in the most one-sided final in the competition’s history.

The scoreline was decisive from the start. Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring in the 12th minute, Désiré Doué doubled the lead, and the young forward later scored again to put the result beyond doubt. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and substitute Senny Mayulu added the remaining goals as PSG completed a performance that ESPN described as a demolition and France 24 called the most one-sided final ever.

The victory completed a treble for PSG, who had already won Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France. It also ended years of frustration for a club that had spent more than a decade chasing European success after heavy investment from its Qatari owners. ESPN said the club changed direction two years ago by focusing on younger players rather than the star-heavy recruitment model that had brought Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé to Paris.

For the players and coach Luis Enrique, the title had several layers of meaning. ESPN reported that the Spaniard added a second Champions League to the one he won with Barcelona in 2015. Hakimi said the club had made history and that PSG had long deserved the trophy. The result also made PSG only the second French club to lift Europe’s top prize, after Marseille in 1993.

The final took place at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena, a fitting venue because PSG had lost their only previous final there in 2020. This time the stadium was filled with PSG supporters, and the team’s fans celebrated a breakthrough they had waited years to see. Inter, by contrast, finished trophyless after another painful end to a European campaign.

The scale of the win matters because finals are usually close. ESPN noted that the five-goal margin was the largest in a European Cup or Champions League final since the competition began in 1956. That makes the match a statistical outlier as well as a title-deciding blowout.

The evidence supports a clear conclusion: this was not merely a victory, but a statement. PSG did not sneak past Inter or edge the final on fine margins. They dominated, scored five times and turned a long pursuit of Europe’s biggest prize into a record-breaking night that may define the club’s modern era.
