Paris Saint-Germain have ended their wait for continental success—and in some style, too.
Les Parisiens demolished Inter Milan 5-0 in the 2024/2025 UEFA Champions League Final, earning the record for the largest-ever margin of victory in the final of Europe’s elite footballing competition.

Conversely, Simone Inzaghi now bears the marks of two Champions League Final defeats in three years, though nobody can take it away from him that he did very well to get I Nerazzurri to the dance in the first place.
Saturday’s game was undoubtedly a showing for Inzaghi and Inter to forget, though.
