PSG won the Uefa Champions League for the first time ever in historic fashion as they hammered Inter Milan in Munich.
It wasn’t just a beating, it was a non-stop, merciless battering of their opponents, leaving no doubt as to who were the deserving winners of this season’s tournament.
After Marseille in 1993, they are the second French outfit to win the Champions League and, unsurprisingly, set a few records while doing so, so we’ve picked them all out for you here.
The 5-0 win was the biggest margin of victory in the final in the history of the competition. Four teams had won by four goals since the inception of the European Cup, but never by five before now.
PSG went two up after 19 minutes, the first time a team had scored two goals inside the first 20 minutes of a Champions League final. By half-time they had attempted 13 shots with five on target, compared to Inter’s two shots with zero on target. There had never been as many as five shots on target difference at the break of a final before.
Désiré Doué is the first player to be involved in three or more goals in a Champions League final. The Frenchman is also the sixth different player to both score and assist in a final, while at 19 years and 362 days, he’s the youngest to do so. He’s just the third teenager to score in a final.
Doué is also the youngest player score twice in a final, as well as the youngest to provide an assist, surpassing Jude Bellingham’s record with Real Madrid against Borussia Dortmund from last year’s final (20 years and 338 days). He set Achraf Hakimi for the opener, the Morocco international’s ninth goal involvement (4G, 5A) this season, the joint-most by a defender in a single Champions League campaign. They other player? Ian Harte, for Leeds United in 2000/01.
Luis Enrique is only the second manager to win a treble with a European club on two different occasions, previously doing so in 2014-15 with Barcelona, along with Pep Guardiola (Barcelona in 2008-09 and Manchester City in 2022-23).
The average age of PSG’s starting lineup (25 years, 96 days) is five years and 146 days younger than Inter’s (30 years, 242 days), the biggest ever age gap between two starting XIs in a Champions League final. The Parisians also fielded the youngest starting lineup in a UCL final this century, while Inter are the first team to ever start as many as three players at least 35 years of age in a decider (Yann Sommer, Francesco Acerbi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan).
PSG played 167 times in the European Cup and Champions League before Saturday, the most games played by a side before winning their first trophy. Arsenal (211) hold the record for most games played without winning it.
Ousmane Dembele provided two assists on the night, taking his goal involvements in the Champions League this season to 14, the most ever by a PSG player in one campaign.
And lastly, Munich has now born witness to a new winner of the trophy in each of the five finals it has hosted. I guess it was just meant to be.
