Historique – PSG Crowned Champions of Europe

Paris Saint GErmain wins first champions league in final thrashing

Munich, May 31, 2025 — On a night that will be etched forever in Paris Saint-Germain’s history, the French giants finally lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy, defeating Inter Milan in commanding fashion in a 5-0 thumping victory at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

It was a triumph that marked the culmination of resilience, redemption, and remarkable football.

Just months ago, PSG’s European dream looked like it would fade early. In the newly formatted Champions League campaign — a league phase with more matches and more chaos — Luis Enrique’s side only narrowly secured a place in the knockouts. Few expected them to go much further.

But from the Round of 16 onward, something clicked. PSG turned doubters into believers with a stunning run that swept aside a trio of Premier League teams. First came Aston Villa, spirited and sharp, but ultimately outclassed. In the quarter-finals, PSG faced newly crowned Premier League champions Liverpool — a heavyweight clash that lived up to the billing. After a tense two-legged battle, it was Parisian precision and grit that prevailed, as PSG held their nerve to triumph in a dramatic penalty shoot-out. Then came Arsenal in the penultimate hurdle — the North Londoners, riding high in England, were undone by PSG’s clinical edge and tactical discipline.

By the time the final arrived, PSG were no longer underdogs. They were transformed — hungry, unified, and with a score to settle.

Inter Milan, Serie A winners and Champions League finalists in 2023, entered the match with confidence. But on this night, they were simply overwhelmed. From the first whistle, PSG were sharper in every department. The final whistle was met with an outpouring of emotion — from the players, the fans, and eeveryone watching along in Paris. A club that has waited decades to claim its place at the top of European football, finally achieved its dream to be crowned champions of Europe.

For PSG, a club often defined by near-misses and glamorous heartbreaks, this was more than just a victory. It was vindication. A team that started the campaign on shaky ground finished it hoisting the continent’s most coveted prize, silencing critics and rewriting its legacy.
