Paris Saint-Germain have finally lifted the Champions League trophy, delivering a historic 5-0 thrashing of Inter Milan in an emotionally charged final.
The night belonged to 19-year-old sensation Desire Doue, whose two goals and assist cemented his status as a generational talent, and to coach Luis Enrique, who wept tears of joy and remembrance for his late daughter.
Doue’s masterclass included setting up the opener and scoring two goals, becoming the youngest player to score a brace in a Champions League final.
For Luis Enrique, the victory was a poignant moment, as he became only the sixth coach to win the tournament with two different clubs. He publicly honoured his late daughter, Xana, with a special t-shirt and was met with a touching tribute from the PSG “Ultras.”
The dominant performance, marked by relentless pace and quality, showcased a new era for PSG, moving beyond their “bling bling” past. Club president Nasser al-Khelaifi emphasized building “the team for the future.”
This historic win, widely praised as one of the greatest European final displays, washes away years of Champions League agony and ushers in a golden age for Paris Saint-Germain.
