PSG ended their Champions League hoodoo with the most outrageous final performance in years to demolish Inter Milan.
The Parisians had become a joke in Europe’s top competitions – constantly bottling the knockout stages in some humiliations down the years, including Manchester United and Barcelona’s iconic comebacks.
Even when they did finally reach the final against Bayern Munich in 2020, they failed to turn up and were beaten 1-0 in a snoozefest of a final.
But all those years of hurt and torment have been ended with a 5-0 battering of the three-time European champions. And Luis Enrique’s side’s performance suggests they’re not moving from the top table for years to come.
Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring after 12 minutes before a double from Desire Doue either side of half-time ended what was left of the contest. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added to the rout to score PSG’s fourth before Senny Mayulu scored number five.
Here, the Daily Star Sport looks at the talking points from the final.
A star is born – Desire Doue

French football thought they wouldn’t see another meteoric Kylian Mbappe rise for generations, but his own replacement will do just that.
Doue was incredible, assisting and scoring two at only 19. His pace, directness and final product on show today on the biggest stage was beyond remarkable.
Real wish they kept Hakimi over Trent
Real Madrid have paid £8million to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold early to show off their shiny new right-back at the Club World Cup. But Los Blancos let the best one in the world leave five years ago.
Having been at Real Madrid since the age of 8, Hakimi failed to break into the first team before a two year loan move to Borussia Dortmund made him. A later move to Inter before arriving in Paris has seen him go from strength to strength to become the best in the world in his position.
