Paris Saint-Germain thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 to finally end their quest for Champions League glory and break the record for the biggest victory in a European Cup final.

Luis Enrique’s stylish PSG team dominated their Italian opponents from kick-off and became the first team in the history of the European Cup to win a final by five goals.

Achraf Hakimi and Desire Doue put PSG two goals up inside 20 minutes. It felt like Inter needed a miracle at half-time, but their task became even harder when the 19-year-old Doue finished off a devastating counter-attack shortly after the hour.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added the fourth before another 19-year-old, Senny Mayulu, came off the bench and scored the fifth two minutes later to make history in Munich.

PSG, who lost the 2020 final to Bayern Munich, have spent billions in search of the Champions League, signing some of the best players in the world in Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi but without going all the way.

With those stars having left, Enrique built a wonderful attacking side that has allowed the young talents of Doue, Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele to thrive and there is no doubt that they have been the best in Europe this season.

Luke Baker

As if the theme of old vs young in today’s final needed any more spelling out, two of PSG’s scorers entered the top four youngest scorers in Champions League final history list.

The 19 year olds, Senny Mayulu and the irrepressible Desire Doue are those men. Here’s how the full list looks now:

  • 1. Patrick Kluivert (AJAX v Milan, 1995, 18 years and 327 days)
  • 2. Senny Mayulu (PSG v Internazionale, 2025, 19 years and 14 days)

PSG fans create heartwarming banner for Luis Enrique to honour his daughter

Luke Baker

A lovely moment for Luis Enrique, who has spoken movingly about the death of his daughter Xana, who died from a rare form of bone cancer in 2019, aged nine.

She had celebrated on the pitch when Enrique won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2015, famously planting a Barca flag in the turf.

PSG fans have recreated a banner of that moment, with their colours instead, and displayed it after the win. Enrique looked visibly moved

REPORT: PSG’s historic moment should provoke serious questions over football’s future

22:28

,

Luke Baker

Qatar finally win the Champions League. It should be an absurd sentence, but then this was a farce of a sporting contest. It was barely a football match, but an exhibition of superior power - in multiple senses..

Paris Saint-Germain destroyed Internazionale 5-0, in what was factually and tonally the most one-sided final in history. No one, not even the great Real Madrid of 1960, had previously won by five goals before.

PSG consequently become the second club owned by a foreign state to have won the Champions League, with Inter having endured the misfortune of being beaten in both finals. If the squad felt pain after losing to Manchester City 1-0 in 2023, given they felt they should have won, there was only embarrassment here.

Inter Milan’s outclassed old men left to mourn the death of a Champions League dream

22:21

,

Luke Baker

Reach a certain age and it isn’t uncommon to develop a greater interest in history. Inter Milan’s old-timers made it: the heaviest defeat ever in a European Cup or Champions League final, a rout still greater than the spectacular scorelines in 1960, 1974, 1989 and 1994, a thrashing that removed two of AC Milan’s routs from the record books.

This was a performance that will echo through the ages. Not by them, however, but to them. Inter conceded three goals to teenagers, Desire Doue’s double followed by the historic fifth from Senny Mayulu.

Inter are old. It isn’t a secret. Barcelona and Bayern Munich probably noticed it, and Arsenal and Manchester City before them. Yet only Paris Saint-Germain succeeded in making them look old. The newest champions of Europe won a generation game so emphatically and dramatically it felt like a case of elder abuse.

Vitinha has talked to TNT Sports straight after the victory. He is understandably delighted at the win.

“It means everything,” he said. “The fans are the main reason we wanted to win the trophy but we wanted to win for a number of reasons - it's our dream, my dream to win it.

“It says a lot about the players. We’re a very good team and this result was not by magic. We’re very happy we did it like this and now we'll go and celebrate.”

WOW, WOW, WOW! It’s all over in Munich. PSG are European champions for the first time and they have completely and utterly battered Inter Milan.

It’s a record win - a five-goal margin in a Champions League final. The parties on the streets of Paris tonight will be a sight to behold

This is going to be a record Champions League final win. Five goals PSG are full value for it. Unbelievable - they’ve been sublime.

Luke Baker

And there’s number five! What a celebration - subs on the pitch and all sorts.

Senny Mayulu, the 18-year-old, has just scored PSG’s final. He can’t believe it, off on a huge run around the pitch. Infectious joy from Mayulu!

Mayulu feeds Barcola, makes the run and gets the return pass (Acerbi playing him onside) and smashes it in at the near post, in off the post! Ha! Superb. What a moment.

Barcola should have scored multiple goals since coming on as a sub... He gets down the right and fires across goal but wide.

MISS! PSG 4-0 Inter, 83 mins

Luke Baker

HOW HAS HE MISSED THAT? Not that it matters but Barcola is on the brink of scoring one of the greatest Champions League final goals of all-time, only to miss at the last.

He weaves past four men, sits down multiple defenders, gets six yards out, needs to just roll it into the far corner but goes for the near post and lashes it wide. Incredible miss after an unreal run!

PSG 4-0 Inter, 80 mins

Luke Baker

Kvaratskhelia became the first Georgian player to score in a Champions League final with his goal. This could also now be the biggest win in the history of the European Cup/Champions League final.

The margin has been four goals on four previous occasions.

Finally a shot on target for Inter! Donnarumma parries the shot away - he’d like to keep a clean sheet.

A couple of Inter corners follow but PSG deal with them.

GOAL! PSG 4-0 Inter (Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, 73 mins)

Luke Baker

This is an absolute battering now. PSG slice the Inter backline apart as they carve straight through, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is bearing down on goal and he slots past Sommer.

Brutal, simply brutal. Inter have gone and PSG are rampant - they’ve torn them apart.

CLOSE! PSG 3-0 Inter, 70 mins

Luke Baker

Thuram lunges in late on Ruiz and gets booked for his troubles. The PSG fans are singing non-stop.

It probably should be 4-0. Barcola gets down the right, squares for Mendes who tries to backheel flick the ball in but can’t make contact.

It comes back to Barcola to the right of the goal and he thrashes a shot that flies wide. Should really be hitting the target.

Kristjan Asllani on for Calhanoglu for Inter before Acerbi gets a yellow card as well

Luke Baker

Doue won’t have the chance for a hat-trick. He got booked for taking his shirt off during the celebration and that might have been in Luis Enrique’s thinking as he subs him off for Bradley Barcola.

A standing ovation for Doue, who has scored two, created one and won this match for PSG. He’s only 19... Superstar

GOAL! PSG 3-0 Inter (Desire Doue, 64 mins)

21:25

,

Luke Baker

That, I believe, is known as game, set and match. PSG swarm forward - Dembele finds Vitinha who slides in the onrushing Desire Doue.

The 19-year-old has put ona clinic tonight and he calmly slides it into the corner. Simply sublime and PSG are home and dry

PSG 2-0 Inter, 62 mins

21:23

,

Luke Baker

Hakimi flashes a shot across the face of goal and it deflects wide. The corner then comes to nothing as Vitinha’s clipped ball back in goes out for a goal-kick.

Two more Inter changes and it’s horribly unlucky for Bisseck, who had only just come on. He’s tweaked a hamstring, so he’s straight off along with Mkhitaryan.

Carlos Augusto and Matteo Darmian on.

Inzaghi puts his faith in youth

21:21

,

Richard Jolly at the Allianz Arena

In a game when Inter have looked too old, Inzaghi's first changes were to send on players aged 23 and 24. One of them, Nicola Zalewski, promptly had a shot and got booked.

PSG 2-0 Inter, 57 mins

,

Luke Baker

Zalewski booked within a minute of coming on. Neves nicks the ball away from him as he cuts inside and he lunges at Ruiz to try and get the ball back. It’s late, he catches Ruiz and it’s a clear yellow.

That was a decent attack from Inter - a couple of promising signs from them perhaps

PSG 2-0 Inter, 54 mins

Luke Baker

The struggling Dimarco finally put out of his misery as he’s subbed off for Inter along with Pavard.

Yann Bisseck and Nicola Zalewski come on.

Luke Baker

PSG look dangerous every time they attack. A break down the left, the ball comes to Kvaratskhelia but he takes a split-second too long and can’t get his shot cleanly away. More warning signs for Inter.

Dembele then drives on and curls a shot at goal but it’s wide.

21:10

,

Luke Baker

Bit of a miscommunication in the PSG defence and Inter earn a corner. Dimarco’s ball is into the danger area, Inter appeal for a handball but it’s given against the Italian side.

That looked like thigh from Marquinhos and a foul followed.

PSG 2-0 Inter, 48 mins

21:08

,

Luke Baker

Inter free-kick to the right of the box. But that’s dismal from Calhanoglu. A great opportunity to put a really dangerous ball in but he overhits it, out for a free-kick.

Not good signs for Inter at the start of this vital second 45 minutes

KICK-OFF! PSG 2-0 Inter

Luke Baker

Last chance of the first half as Kvaratskhelia rises in the box and heads over. He should probably do better there. That could’ve been 3-0.

Instead, it’s half-time and PSG have completely dominated in Munich. Goals from Hakimi and Doue have them in control, with one hand on the trophy.

This is going to take an epic comeback from Inter

Superb skill from Ruiz, with a glorious step-over to beat his man and he feeds Doue.

Shifted on to his right foot and tries to curl it into the far corner from the edge of the box but it drifts just wide.

Pacho a rock at the back for PSG, cutting out another pass. This is Inter’s best spell of the game but they could really do with a goal before half-time to get back in it.

MISS! PSG 2-0 Inter, 38 mins

20:39

,

Luke Baker

Inter’s midfield are being completely overrun here, with PSG playing through them with ease. The Italian side have barely got a foothold in this game.

A bit better as they attack down the right and Calhanoglu fires a low ball into the box which Pacho impressively cuts out for a corner.

From that corner, Thuram gets space at the back post but heads wide! He has to score, I think, or at least hit the target - that was a great chance.

PSG 2-0 Inter, 35 mins

Luke Baker

Dimarco being targeted by PSG and they go at him again, with Dembele winning the corner.

Marquinhos rises to meet the ball in by Dembele but it goes well wide.

Why Achraf Hakimi didn’t celebrate scoring the opening goal of the Champions League final

20:35

,

Luke Baker

Achraf Hakimi scored the opening goal of the Champions League final to put Paris Saint-Germain in front against Inter Milan - but the right back did not celebrate.

Hakimi finished Desire Doue’s clever cut-back, scoring into an empty net to round off a lovely move from the French side, to give PSG the lead in Munich.

However, Hakimi immediately raised his hands in apology to the Inter supporters who were behind Yann Sommer’s goal at the Allianz Arena.

Inter look shell-shocked at the moment and PSG aren’t letting up.

Mendes curls in a free-kick from the left, Marquinhos just beaten in the air and Hakimi lofts the ball back in but it’s out for a goal-kick.

PSG 2-0 Inter, 29 mins

Luke Baker

Doue is just the third teenager to score in a Champions League final and PSG are in complete control here. Seven shots, five on target, compared to Inter’s lone, off-target effort.

Hard to see how the Italians get themselves back in this

Inter have to find a way back into this. They win a corner and Calhanoglu puts it right on the head of Acerbi who puts it over.

That was a chance.

PSG 2-0 Inter

20:25

,

Miguel Delaney, in Munich

This already looks like it be one of those finals where it's completely one-sided. Inter haven't been able to get near PSG, as witnessed for the amount of space their attackers had for that opening goal. Doue's decision to square it for Hakimi also showed impressive maturity. It's all the worse for Inter since you knew the one thing they absolutely had to avoid was conceding in one of PSG's fast starts. Luis Enrique's side blew them away.

It's eight years since a Champions League final was won by three goals and 21 years since four goals... might this trump both? It is so one-sided. Inter are so easy to press.

GOAL! PSG 2-0 Inter (Desire Doue, 21 mins)

20:23

,

Luke Baker

OH MY WORD! It’s 2-0 and PSG in complete control now after a strike by Desire Doue.

The French side break down the left, the ball is lofted across and comes to Doue at the edge of the area. He strikes it on the half-volley, Dimarco turns his back in front of him, it deflects off him and flies past Sommer.

A stroke of fortune for PSG perhaps but they deserved it. Dimarco having a stinker.

PSG 1-0 Inter, 18 mins

20:20

,

Luke Baker

PSG are playing with confidence now. They stride forward again and Kvaratskhelia has space on the left but is surprisingly errant with his shot, which flies well over.

Just seeing the goal again - really poor from Dimarco as he played everyone onside but such composure from Doue to square it to Hakimi for the six-yard tap-in.

PSG 1-0 Inter, 15 mins

20:18

Luke Baker

If the PSG fans were loud before, they’re deafening now. The perfect start and Inter’s gameplan of staying solid at the back and soaking up pressure is out the window.

Hakimi almost apologetic after goal

20:17

Richard Jolly at the Allianz Arena

Achraf Hakimi had his hands up in apology then. He is a former Inter player though a Champions League final goal should be enough to make anyone celebrate.

GOAL! PSG 1-0 Inter (Achraf Hakimi, 12 mins)

20:14

,

Luke Baker

And PSG take the lead through Achraf Hakimi.

It’s a simple finish for the right-back as Dimarco is caught out of position, and 19-year-old Doue collects in the box, spins and lays a pass perfectly across goal on a place for the Moroccan.

Too easy and PSG lead

PSG 0-0 Inter, 11 mins

20:11

,

Luke Baker

First shot of the evening as Doue takes aim from distance but it’s easy for Sommer to collect. Marquinhos then stifles an attack at the other end after good No 9 play by Thuram.

A reminder of why Inter are wearing their (stunning) third kit this evening - a golden yellow and black number.

Luke Baker

PSG win a free-kick on the right and Vitinha whips in a good cross but it runs all the way through. Ball back in a couple of more times but Inter win the headers and eventually it runs dead for a goal-kick.

The French side have definitely started the stronger though.

PSG 0-0 Inter, 6 mins

Luke Baker

PSG dominating possession early on, as you might expect, although Inter look dangerous as Martinez picks the ball up and tries to feed it left but it’s cut out. If he’d gone left to Dumfries, they could’ve put a dangerous ball into the box.

PSG 0-0 Inter, 3 mins

20:04

Luke Baker

The Allianz Arena is absolutely rocking - chants from both sets of fans ringing round.

Doue almost squeezes the ball through to Ruiz before he later drives towards the area but pulled up for a foul.

This Inter third kit, full gold, that they’re wearing is gorgeous by the way. Love it.
