The Paris Saint-Germain team, led by Luis Enrique, delivered a masterclass performance in the Champions League final. Their defensive solidity and unstoppable offense were on full display. Two players stood out: Vitinha and Doué. Vitinha controlled the tempo, while Doué consistently popped up in scoring positions.
Key Moments
The game started with a bang. Doué won the ball and took on the opposition, creating a perfect assist for Hakimi to score the opening goal after just 12 minutes. This set the tone for the rest of the match, with moments of brilliance and perfect finishes resulting in two more PSG goals. Luis Enrique substituted Doué out after 67 minutes, but not before he had cemented his place in the history books with a dream performance at just 19 years old.
The first goal was a sign of things to come. Vitinha’s pass into the gap caught the Inter defense off guard, and Doué’s perfect pass to Hakimi initiated a historic win. These two players were the standout performers, always thinking ahead and delivering in crucial moments.
Team Effort
João Neves and Fabián Ruiz allowed Vitinha to push forward while protecting the defense. Donnarumma had a quiet game, with Pacho and Marquinhos limiting Thuram and Lautaro’s space. The full-backs, Hakimi and Nuno Mendes, were instrumental in the team’s success, with Hakimi scoring the first goal and Nuno Mendes tirelessly supporting both attack and defense.
Kvaratskhelia had a great second half, scoring a well-deserved goal. Dembelé struggled to make an impact, but Mayulu sealed the deal with a memorable moment, making history in Munich as PSG won their first Champions League title with a record five-goal margin.
