A Night to Remember for PSG Fans

For over a decade, Paris Saint-Germain fans have lived through moments of sheer agony in the UEFA Champions League. Since the Qatari ownership took over in 2011, the dream of winning Europe’s biggest prize had become more of a curse—12 straight knockout stage appearances, and 12 crushing exits. Some of those losses were so bizarre, they almost defied belief.

But not this time.

On a balmy night under the lights, PSG finally exorcised those ghosts in the most spectacular way possible—by completely overwhelming Inter Milan in a 5-0 final masterclass. It was their 13th attempt, and it turned out to be a lucky one.

From the very first whistle, it was clear: PSG meant business. The energy, the pace, the pressing—everything clicked. They looked like a team on a mission. And when Désiré Doué doubled their lead before the 25th minute, it was clear Inter were in serious trouble.

In fact, Inter looked overwhelmed from the start. PSG, unbeaten in Europe since January, were ruthless. With Vitinha orchestrating the attack like a maestro, and wide threats like Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé stretching the play, Inter simply couldn’t cope.

The first goal came with just 12 minutes gone, and PSG’s ultras celebrated it like a title clincher—flares, chants, and pure euphoria. That early strike, set up by a clever interplay involving Doué and Hakimi, set the tone for the night. And by the time Doué struck again to make it 3-0, it was starting to look like a training session.

Inter had no answer.

Simone Inzaghi’s side, who once looked poised for a treble themselves just six weeks ago, were completely outplayed. Their compact 3-5-2 structure was dismantled by PSG’s fluid 4-3-3, which didn’t even feature a traditional striker. The French champions just swarmed them with movement and positional interchanges.

The second half offered no respite. Inter hoped for a miracle—maybe a set piece, maybe a long throw—but none came. PSG were relentless. Vitinha, almost dancing with the ball, created another magical moment, combining with Dembélé before setting up Doué’s second goal. It was 4-0, and game over.

And just to rub salt in the wounds, 19-year-old Senny Mayulu, coming off the bench, scored the fifth from a Bradley Barcola assist. It was the kind of goal that summarized Inter’s nightmare—fast, slick, clinical.

The final whistle brought tears—of joy for PSG and heartbreak for Inter. A viral image showed an Inter supporter crying in the stands, a stark reminder of football’s cruelty. It was a season that started with high hopes for the Italians and ended in devastation.

For PSG, though, it was a dream finally realized. A treble-winning season, capped by their first-ever Champions League trophy. Luis Enrique, often doubted during the campaign, had masterminded a side that not only won but did so with style, flair, and utter dominance.

And perhaps what made it even sweeter was the contrast. While PSG spent big and boasted stars across the pitch, Inter’s biggest signings under Inzaghi were just over €30 million—Benjamin Pavard and Davide Frattesi. Only two of PSG’s starters cost less than that. The financial gulf showed on the field, and in the final scoreline.

But football isn’t just about money. It’s about timing, belief, and execution. On this night, everything aligned perfectly for PSG. After years of falling short, they didn’t just win—they stamped their authority on Europe.

They didn’t sneak across the finish line. They stormed it.
