Paris Saint-Germain delivered a stunning 5-0 thrashing of Inter Milan in the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League Final, showcasing complete dominance across all areas of the pitch.
The emphatic victory earned PSG their first-ever Champions League title and laid bare Inter’s defensive shortcomings in a shocking display.
From the opening whistle at the Allianz Stadium, PSG came out with intensity, relentlessly attacking Yann Sommer’s goal. The first half saw them strike twice in quick succession, with Achraf Hakimi and Desire Doue capitalising on defensive lapses. Inter, who had only conceded 11 goals throughout the tournament prior to this match, crumbled under the pressure.
Things went from bad to worse for Inter in the second half. Desire Doue added a second, followed by late goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu, turning the night into a nightmare for Simone Inzaghi’s men. Inter’s typically reliable back three—Bastoni, Acerbi, and Pavard—were completely dismantled, leaving goalkeeper Yann Sommer exposed and helpless.
Tactically, Inter had no answers. Every strategy—whether Plan A, B, or C—fell apart against PSG’s fluid movement and lightning pace. Midfielders Nicolo Barella and Hakan Çalhanoğlu were overwhelmed, while PSG clinically converted nearly every chance, unlike their wasteful opponents.
At the final whistle, PSG manager Luis Enrique stood still, visibly emotional as fans revealed a touching tifo dedicated to his late daughter Xana. This triumph wasn’t just a historic title for PSG—it was the realisation of a long-held dream. Not even club legends like Lionel Messi or Neymar Jr had achieved it, and with this tam, PSG also finally erased the painful memories of their 2020 final defeat to Bayern Munich.
