5:0

Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League run has been complicated this season! While the ending is worthy of the greatest fairy tales, the Parisians have experienced all sorts of emotions! Struggling before a pivotal group match against Manchester City, Luis Enrique 's players turned their season around with a victory against the Citizens! Having qualified for the play-offs, PSG eliminated Brest before challenging the mighty Liverpool. In a crazy double confrontation, Gianluigi Donnarumma finally led Paris to the quarter-finals and Aston Villa. Without shining, Ousmane Dembélé and his teammates reached the semi-finals before finally knocking out Arsenal. Finally, the European campaign ended with a total triumph this Saturday evening against Inter Milan.
By scoring five goals tonight, Paris Saint-Germain has broken all records!

Olympique de Marseille is no longer the only French club to have won the Champions League ! Since Saturday evening, Paris Saint-Germain has joined OM.
With one goal and two assists, Désiré Doué is the first player to be involved in at least three goals in a Champions League final.
Speaking to Canal+, Ousmane Dembélé called on Parisian supporters to remain calm: "It's exceptional to win the first Champions League, it must be exceptional in Paris. But I said, let's celebrate this but without destroying everything in Paris."
Following Paris Saint-Germain's victory in the Champions League final, Parisian fans gathered to celebrate the victory on the Champs-Élysées. Riots erupted, leading to 68 arrests!
After his club's victory this Saturday evening, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi addressed those who never believed in the Parisian title: "This year has been very special, we had a difficult start, everyone criticized us, doubted us, and now, many people did not have confidence in our project, our investments... Today, we proved that we are here, we are champions, I find it hard to believe. 5-0 is incredible, it's a dream. We are defending the flag of France, we are a French club, we deserve it, there are many big clubs in France, everyone criticizes France saying that we don't have quality, but we showed today that we have great players. The objective? To win again, it's 14 years of work, we had the second youngest team in the final, we are building something for the future. We have the best coach and the best sporting director in the world, we are a great club."
Luis Enrique on Canal+: "Making history has been a goal since the beginning of the season. It's time to have a big celebration! I felt a real connection between the players and the fans. I think we deserve it. It's difficult to play at this level, but we knew how to handle the pressure."
A final that lasted a short time! This Saturday evening, Paris Saint-Germain literally thrashed Inter Milan in the Champions League final (5-0). At the Allianz Arena in Munich, the Parisians lifted their first "Big Ears Cup." From the kickoff, Luis Enrique's players deprived the Nerazzurri of the ball and harassed them as soon as they lost the ball. After the tenth minute, Vitinha found Désiré Doué in the heart of the box. The Frenchman found Achraf Hakimi on the back foot who pushed the ball into the empty net (1-0, 12th). The party began and continued eight minutes later! After a long Inter throw-in, the Parisians went on the counterattack and Ousmane Dembélé found Désiré Doué at the far post. Initially a passer, he turned into a goalscorer with a right-footed shot deflected by Dimarco (2-0, 20th). Luis Enrique's men are in total domination, creating a string of chances and heading into the locker room with a two-goal lead.
In the second half, the scenario remained unchanged. While Simone Inzaghi made several substitutions to try to turn things around, Désiré Doué, once again, put paid to Milan's hopes. In the center circle, Ousmane Dembélé followed up for Vitinha in the race. The Portuguese sent Doué into orbit, who beat Sommer at the near post (3-0, 63rd). The attacking festival continued, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored. Assisted by Dembélé, the Georgian also beat Sommer (4-0, 73rd), as did the very young Senny Mayulu at the end of the match (5-0, 86th). PSG lifted their first Champions League after an idyllic evening!
In a press release, the LFP congratulated Paris Saint-Germain on their victory in the Champions League final: "PSG's victory in the Champions League is a source of immense pride for French football. It rewards the high standards, hard work and ambition of a club that, for more than a decade, has given itself the means to compete with the greatest institutions in European football. PSG has built a coherent, structured project, combining sporting excellence, economic power and international influence. Its victory not only confirms constant progression at the highest level, but also symbolizes the ability of a French club to establish itself at the top of world football. This success goes beyond Paris and reflects on the entire Ligue 1, which is gaining in attractiveness, credibility and visibility on the international scene. It is a major step in the positioning of French football among the elite and confirms that, despite the current economic challenges, our model is constantly progressing. This season, thanks to the performance of PSG but also Monaco, Lyon, Brest and Lille, whom I also want to salute this evening, have achieved record revenues, reaching nearly €400 million, compared to €285 million last season and €220 million two years ago. A 70% increase in UEFA revenues in two years is the result of the global strategy implemented over several years, which is bearing fruit.
And we are starting the 2025/2026 season in the best possible conditions, with a record level of points, which places us closer than ever to fourth place in the UEFA index."
Désiré Doué on M6: "I have no words. I have no voice. It's a dream come true. Ever since I was little, I've had big goals. I thank my teammates, my president. It's a lot of emotion coming back. We worked hard for this final and I'm very proud. Honestly, we made history. Nothing is ever perfect, but it's incredible!"
Bradley Barcola on Canal+: "The club had been looking for her for a long time, and this year, we managed to get her. I still can't believe it. It's a dream to win the Champions League with such a big club."
Marquinhos on M6: "I don't even know if we deserve this much. 5-0 in a final is incredible. I arrived as a child with a dream and today, I'm fulfilling that dream. My family, it's for them. I'm thinking of everyone who has supported me since I arrived at PSG! I'm in love with this team and the game. I love playing with this team. We've shown our potential. Thanks to the coach who arrived two years ago and who brought his DNA."
