Teenager Désiré Doué achieved remarkable success by scoring two goals, thereby contributing to PSG inaugural European Cup victory. The team secured a decisive 5-0 win against Inter Milan on Saturday, marking the largest margin of victory in the history of the final of this prestigious continental club competition.
Following their defeat in the 2020 final to Bayern Munich, Luis Enrique’s PSG team, which faced potential elimination during the league phase, ultimately secured the coveted trophy that their Qatari ownership has sought since acquiring the French capital club in 2011.
New Generation Achieves What Messi, Neymar, Mbappé Couldn’t
PSG rising team did what established stars Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe failed to do during their time with the club. This feat makes PSG only the 2nd French team to win the famous cup, after Olympique de Marseille in 1993.
Luis Enrique: “We Planned to Make History”
Luis Enrique stated that making history has been a goal since the beginning of last season.
I truly felt a deep bond with both the players and the fans—a strong connection that became evident throughout the season. We managed to navigate the tension and excitement in the best way possible.
Match Analysis: PSG Dominant Champions League Final Performance
Paris Saint-Germain had an outstanding effort that the more experienced Inter club could not match. PSG scored two goals in the opening 20 minutes, with assistance from former Inter defender Achraf Hakimi and Doué.
The 19-year-old Doué found the back of the net once more in the 63rd minute, followed by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who added another goal just 10 minutes later. Substitute Senny Mayulu capped off the impressive performance with a goal three minutes before the final whistle, completing a dominant victory in Munich.
First Half: Hakimi and Doué Set the Tone
Before the match started, the Italian fans passionately belted out their club’s anthem, “There’s Only Inter.” However, once the game commenced, their team failed to show up, allowing PSG to dominate the field and secure a well-deserved victory.
Paris Saint-Germain exhibited dominant control over the match from the outset, showcasing their proficiency in possession through fluid passing. Every player showed a persistent attempt to spot possible opportunities. Vitinha’s accurate pass to Doué inside the penalty area in the 12th minute was the result of this persistent pressure.
Inter defenders raised their hands in protest, claiming offside, but Federico Dimarco kept the PSG player onside. The young talent calmly rolled the ball across the goal, setting up Hakimi for an easy tap-in.
Achraf Hakimi stated, We have etched our names in this club’s history and created history.
This group has long deserved it, and we are pleased. Our family has evolved into something incredible.
Eight minutes later, Ousmane Dembélé received the ball on the left wing of PSG’s quick counterattack.
Ousmane Dembélé advanced the ball and then executed a fantastic cross to the far side. Doué had plenty of time to catch the ball with his chest, and when it deflected off Dimarco, his subsequent attempt went beyond Yann Sommer, who was in the wrong position.
Second Half: Kvaratskhelia and Mayulu Extend Lead
Inter needed to push forward in the 2nd half, but PSG secured their victory with a 3rd goal. A feed from Vitinha to Doué in the box was expertly placed beyond Sommer by the 19-year-old.
Inter were shell-shocked but things only got worse.
Ousmane Dembélé created a spectacular ball deep in his own half that split the defence and sent Kvaratskhelia crashing forward. Luis Enrique and the entire PSG bench ran onto the pitch to celebrate when he beat Sommer at the near post to score the goal.
Luis Enrique Enters Treble-Winning History Books
Luis Enrique became the second manager, following his ex-Barcelona teammate Pep Guardiola, to achieve the continental treble of the League, Cup, and Champions League in a single season on two occasions, having won their first while with Barcelona and their second by defeating Inter.
Everything at PSG has changed because of him. Since his arrival, he has altered the perception of football. He is a dedicated individual, and he deserves it more than anyone.
Final Whistle: Mayulu Completes 5-0 Rout
PSG managed to score a fifth goal as Mayulu slotted it home past Sommer from close quarters following a pass from substitute Bradley Barcola. The final whistle was met with tremendous cheers from the French supporters who had been singing energetically throughout the match.
Inter Milan Champions League Final Disappointment
Inter was optimistic about avenging their loss to Manchester City in Istanbul two years prior, but ended the season without any trophies.
“It certainly didn’t feel like my Inter was present on the field, and the players are the first to recognize this, but I take pride in the journey we’ve experienced,” stated Inter manager Simone Inzaghi.
Luis Enrique, clearly moved after the final whistle and sporting a T-shirt honoring his daughter Xana, who passed away in 2019, has transformed PSG from a collection of superstars into a cohesive team of humble players finally functioning together.
