PSG Humiliates Inter and Conquers the Champions League
Paris Saint-Germain has achieved its first Champions League title, after a resounding 5-0 victory over Inter Milan. Saturday night witnessed the consecration of a Parisian team led by young stars, who exposed an Inter that could not contain the offensive onslaught.
The match, which culminated in a historic treble for PSG (League, Cup, and Champions League), featured Désiré Doué, a 19-year-old who introduced himself to the world with a two-goal performance. With this victory, PSG demonstrates that youth and talent can overcome experience and renown.
The PSG’s dominance was evident from the start, with Achraf Hakimi’s goal at 12 minutes, followed by Doué’s brace and goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu. This victory marks the largest goal difference in a Champions League final, leaving Inter Milan, who suffered their second defeat in three finals, with the heavy burden of the most lopsided defeat in the history of the tournament.Who needs Messi, Neymar, and Mbappé when you have Doué?

PSG coach Luis Enrique joins Pep Guardiola as the only managers to win the treble with two different teams.
Doué: The New Star of World Football
In September, Désiré Doué hadn’t played a single minute in the Champions League. Nine months later, the young midfielder stands as the king of Europe, shining in the final against Inter with two goals and an assist.
Doué, with his performance, becomes the youngest player in history to record a goal and an assist in a Champions League final.
Luis Enrique’s decision to play Doué on the right wing proved to be the right one, outplaying Inter’s defense. His assist for the first goal demonstrated his vision and generosity, while his two goals showcased his talent. His ball control, inspired by Neymar, and his dribbling delighted the fans.
PSG invested 50 million euros in Doué last summer, trusting in his potential to become a world-class player. Now, Doué competes with Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal for the title of best young player in the world.
The meaning of “Désiré Doué” in Spanish is “desired gifted”. At 19 years old, Doué is already conquering the Champions League.PSG’s Youth Overcomes Inter’s Experience
The match pitted an Inter with an average age of 29.4 years against a PSG with 23.6 years. The narrative leading up to the match revolved around whether Inter’s experience could overcome PSG’s freshness and athleticism.
However, the match took an unexpected turn. Inter covered more distance than PSG, but the errors of the Inter defense facilitated the first two goals of PSG. The lack of correct decisions on the part of Inter, contrasted with the precision of PSG, which proved to be a veteran and experienced team.
Inter couldn’t pressure PSG
Inter, known for its ability to absorb pressure, couldn’t exert the necessary aggressiveness to neutralize PSG. The PPDA (passes per defensive action), an indicator of defensive pressure, for Inter was 27.1 in the first half, which hindered its ability to influence PSG’s game. PSG, with confidence and precision, dominated the match.
