After years of waiting and several unsuccessful attempts with great names, Paris Saint-Germain now led by Luis Enrique triumphed in the Champions League final after crushing Simone Inzaghi’s Inter Milan.
Finally PSG now have a first historic title in Europe’s most prestigious competition.
With a dynamic squad of youth and the incredible oil wealth of Qatar, Paris St Germain were finally declared champions of European Champions league .
In a performance you could hang in the Louvre, Desire Doue staged a teenage rampage through the heart of an elderly Inter Milan defence, scoring twice and assisting once to inspire the heaviest victory margin of any European Cup Final.
Luis Enrique’s side repeated their unbeaten performance against Inter as they had done to four English Premier League clubs which has brought about a sparkling night hour of festivities for the French Champions.
Put together PSG is best described as the ultimate high-class, high-octane, highly-selfless team like never – a combination of beauty and efficiency define their output.
Achraf Hakimi, opened the scoring.
And the Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia hammered the fourth – then typified his team’s approach by sprinting back about 70 yards to half an Inter break with his side 4-0 up in the dying minutes.
Senny Mayulu, another 19-year-old, then sealed the deal with a late strike from Bradley Barcola’s assist.
Doue, the 19-year-old plucked from Rennes last summer, was the headline act but Ousmane Demebele played a major role in three goals to tighten his grip on this year’s Ballon d’Or.
It has been 14 years since the Qatari state seized control of PSG and after one previous final defeat under Thomas Tuchel in 2020, this was their moment.
PSG had an average age of 23 this season, Inter were the oldest in the competition at a touch over 30.
And anybody who suggested that Inter’s experience and nous would prove a match for this zestful young PSG side but the reverse mw the case.
And after Marseille at the old Olympic Stadium in 1993, this was only the second time a French club had ever won Old Big Ears.
