The PSG dominated the UEFA Champions League final, leaving Inter with no chance. Luis Enrique’s team delivered a masterclass performance, with Vitinha and Doué stealing the show. This victory marks another club’s conquest of the most coveted trophy in European football.
From the get-go, PSG pushed to control the midfield, but Inter’s experienced defensive trio of Pavard, Bastoni, and Acerbi held strong. That was until Vitinha’s precise pass found Doué, who set up Hakimi for the opening goal.
Inter needed to shift gears, but they struggled to contain PSG’s attack. The French team’s second goal came at the 21-minute mark, with Dembelé assisting Doué to put Paris within reach of the title. Vitinha was instrumental, dictating the pace and often preventing Inter from breaking through PSG’s defensive lines.
It took 37 minutes for Inter to create their first real opportunity, but Thuram’s header sailed wide. The interval arrived with Kvaratskhelia testing the Inter defense, showcasing PSG’s clear superiority in the Munich final.
Inter attempted to rebound in the second half, but PSG’s relentless pressure and exploitation of the space behind Inter’s defense made it difficult for them to gain traction. Kvaratskhelia and Dembelé threatened with their shots, and the game remained largely unchanged from the first half.
The third goal arrived at the 63-minute mark, and it seemed to seal the deal. Vitinha’s pass was exquisite, and Doué’s finish was perfect – the two men of the match shone once again. Doué left the field to a standing ovation, but Inter’s woes continued as Barcola entered the game with a desire to make an impact.
The UEFA Champions League final was all but decided. It was a magical night, with the coveted title within PSG’s grasp. The Parisian team had two Portuguese players, Vitinha and João Neves, in the spotlight, along with Nuno Mendes’s pace on the left flank. Gonçalo Ramos even made an appearance, and with him on the field, PSG scored their fifth goal.
This margin of victory was unprecedented in a UEFA Champions League final – no team had ever won by such a wide gap. The previous records were Benfica’s 5-3 win over Real Madrid in 1961/62 and Real Madrid’s 7-3 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in 1959/60.
