Paris Saint-Germain Claims Historic Champions League Victory
PSG secures its first-ever Champions League title with a decisive 5-0 win over Inter Milan, marking a poignant moment for coach Luis Enrique.
In a historic display, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) triumphed in the UEFA Champions League final, defeating Italian side Inter Milan 5-0. This victory marks PSG's first Champions League title, bringing an end to a long wait for both the club and its supporters, who have been anticipating such success since the club's inception in 1970.
The final was characterized by a dominant performance from PSG, who showcased a squad brimming with young talent and tenacity throughout the spring season.
This margin of victory is unprecedented in the history of the Champions League final, with no other team having achieved such a significant win since the tournament's establishment in 1955.
The standout player of the match was 19-year-old forward Desiré Doué, who scored twice and contributed an assist, playing a pivotal role in the team's historic achievement.
The match showcased not only PSG's on-field prowess but also a deep emotional connection among the players and their supporters.
Coach Luis Enrique was at the center of this emotional moment, as fans commemorated the memory of his daughter, Xana, who passed away from bone cancer in 2019 at the age of nine.
A large banner displayed an image that symbolically linked Enrique and his daughter to the celebrations, emphasizing their enduring bond.
Enrique reflected on the tribute after the match, acknowledging the impact of the fans' remembrance.
He stated, "I saw that the supporters honored her, which means a lot to me.
She is always with us and the family, especially when we lose.
But now is not the time for sadness; it is a moment to enjoy this historic occasion.
We all deserved this success, but we do not want to stop here."
Fans further honored Xana’s memory through an artistic depiction on a special shirt presented to Enrique, featuring an extraterrestrial scene echoing a moment from the 2015 Champions League final when Enrique and his daughter planted a flag on the pitch after PSG's previous victory.
Following this historic win, Enrique joins Pep Guardiola as one of only two coaches to secure a treble (domestic league, domestic cup, and Champions League) with two different clubs, having previously achieved similar success with Barcelona in 2015 and now with PSG in 2025. This achievement underscores both the strategic foresight of Enrique and the relentless ambition of PSG in European football.
