Champions League final: PSG storms past Inter Milan to win first European title by record margin

For a little over a decade, Paris Saint-Germain was a controversial project and a collection of names. It was Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Beckham, then Neymar, Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi. It was a club transformed by money and defined by unflinching ambition. It was many things, but never the one thing it desperately wanted to be — until Saturday, when PSG, in its very first year without a megastar, became the European champion.

PSG stormed past Inter Milan in the 2025 Champions League final. It won 5-0, by more goals than any Champions League finalist ever before. It won as a team, with four goals scored or assisted by teenagers, including breakout 19-year-old star Désiré Doué.

It pressed and possessed the ball, and unlocked Inter in the 12th minute with a gorgeous team goal. Achraf Hakimi drilled in the opener and, in a classy gesture, chose not to celebrate against his former club.
