One of the most even decisions in recent UEFA Champions League history turned out to be the biggest win of all time. PSG took no notice of Inter Milan from the opening whistle and ran out comfortable 5-0 winners in front of more than 65,000 fans at the Allianz Arena to claim their first ever continental title.
Inter Milan were pressed at the back and it took them a long time to find attacking mechanisms to try and trouble their opponents. But just 11 minutes into the game, PSG had already opened the scoring thanks to Vitinha, who broke through the last line of defense with a great pass to Doué, who saw Hakimi alone and made the decisive pass to open the scoring.
After the first goal, PSG extended their lead a few minutes later in a move that showed how Luis Enrique's side fight for every position on the ball. Pacho prevented the ball coming out of his defensive phase and set up a counter-attack. Dembelé advanced down the left and opened up the play for Doué to receive the ball freely, latching onto it and hitting it with his right leg, which Dimarco missed.
After only threatening PSG's goal with a header from Marcus Thuram, Inter saw the French keep up the pressure without being able to find solutions. Bisseck and Zalwski were brought on by Inzaghi less than ten minutes after the break, but shortly after the substitutions, Doué received a great pass from Hakimi and the ball came back off the post. Soon after, Bisseck felt pain in his thigh and had to leave the field, at which point Doué hit a low, counter-attacking shot through the middle to score the third goal.
This goal made PSG much more comfortable on the pitch and made the title even more special. For the fourth goal, Kvaratskhelia received the ball from Dembélé and advanced alone down the left wing to score. And before the final whistle, teenager Mayulu was assisted by Barcola to score the fifth.
PSG deserved to win by a historic margin
With the biggest win in the history of UEFA Champions League finals, PG deserve all the praise they can get for a title won thanks mainly to Luis Enrique, a coach who had total freedom to assemble his squad, make important decisions and finally lift the most important trophy in club soccer again.
