The Voice News: At long last, the wait seems to have been worth it. A decade and a half of anticipation, billions of euros invested, and walking through the shadows of the Neymar-Messi-Mbappé era—after all that, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) finally etched their name on Europe’s grandest stage. In Munich’s Allianz Arena, they made history—obliterating Inter Milan with a crushing 5–0 victory to win the UEFA Champions League title for the first time. Luis Enrique’s young, hungry warriors have finally arrived.
The demolition began as early as the 11th minute. And the player who scored the opener was none other than Inter Milan’s former star—Achraf Hakimi. After a series of uninterrupted passes, the ball reached PSG’s young sensation Doué, who calmly fed it into open space. From close to the goal line, Hakimi confidently finished, giving PSG their first spark of belief against his former club.
By the 20th minute, the lead was doubled by 19-year-old Doué. A sharp pass from Ousmane Dembélé on the right was half-volleyed by Doué, the shot deflecting off defender Dimarco and deceiving Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer. It may have seemed like luck—but luck, too, is part of winning Europe’s crown.
After halftime, Inter tried to regroup, but they were helpless against Luis Enrique’s dynamic positional football. In the 63rd minute, Doué lit up the stage again. Then in the 73rd minute, Georgian star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored a stunning goal to all but erase Inter’s presence in the match. In the final act, young Senou Mayulu came on and scored with his very first touch. The scoreboard read: PSG 5, Inter 0.
Ten years after winning the treble with Barcelona in 2015, Luis Enrique once again reached the pinnacle of world football—this time by a very different path. No Messi, no Neymar, no Mbappé. This was a triumph of new blood, a new philosophy. The resilience of Donnarumma, the midfield control of Vitinha, Neves, and Ruiz, and the lightning-fast attacks from Dembélé, Doué, and Kvaratskhelia—all combined, this PSG didn’t just come to win—they came to dominate.
A fun fact: every Champions League final played in Munich before this one was won by a team claiming their first European title. Nottingham Forest in 1979, Marseille in 1993, Chelsea in 2012—and now PSG joins that elite list.
Paris is now the new king of Europe. For years, the football world mocked them for having “no history”—but tonight, they’ve written their own. This night belongs to Paris, this trophy to Luis Enrique, and this celebration to football’s bold new frontier.
