Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) wrote a memorable chapter in its history by winning its very first UEFA Champions League title on May 31, 2025. The final, held at Munich's Allianz Arena, saw the Parisians dominate Inter Milan with an emphatic 5-0 scoreline, setting the record for the largest margin of victory ever in a final of this prestigious competition.
The capital club displayed exceptional form throughout the 2024-2025 season. After eliminating Arsenal in the semifinals, PSG faced Inter Milan, who had previously knocked out FC Barcelona. From the opening whistle, Parisian superiority was evident, with fluid and effective offensive play.
The Man of the Match was Désiré Doué, who left his mark by becoming the first player to be decisive three times in a Champions League final. Thanks to his key contributions, PSG scored five goals, an impressive tally that matches the second-highest number of goals ever scored by a team in a UCL final.
This historic victory grants PSG automatic qualification for the 2025-2026 UEFA Champions League group stage, as well as the right to participate in prestigious competitions such as the 2025 UEFA Super Cup, the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup, and the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup. Financially, UEFA will award the Parisian club a record sum of €148.417 million at the end of the season.
Celebrations erupted across France, reflecting the immense joy of PSG supporters nationwide. However, these festivities were marred by incidents that resulted in two deaths and 192 injuries. Despite this tragedy, this victory undeniably marks a major turning point for French football and PSG in particular.
