How PSG thrashed Inter Milan
Achraf Hakimi and the sensational Desire Doue fired the French champions into a commanding 2-0 lead within the first 20 minutes, leaving Inter Milan stunned and chasing shadows.
PSG’s relentless press never let up after the break, and it was 19-year-old Doue once again who delivered the killer blow, netting his second of the night and PSG’s third in a historic performance.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added his name to the scoresheet, getting in on the action to make it four.
And still, PSG pushed forward. In the final act of their masterclass, fellow 19-year-old Senny Mayulu found the net to complete a stunning 5-0 rout, marking the most dominant win ever recorded in a European Cup final, per beIN Sports.
According to UEFA, no team had won a Champions League final by such a margin since AC Milan's 4-0 demolition of Barcelona back in 1994.
