On May 31, 2025, Paris Saint Germain defeated Simone Inzaghi’s Inter Milan 5-0 at the Allianz Arena in Munich, defying all odds to win a first treble in club history.
A young PSG team led the game from the start. In the 11th minute, Achraf Hakimi finished off a great team move thanks to Federico Dimarco’s defensive error, and their early efforts paid off. This was their first goal of the night, and it set the tone for their opponents’ nightmare final.
Warren Zaire, Warren Ugarte, and Vitinha of the midfield dominated the pace with maturity and purpose, denying Inter meaningful possession and dictating every phase of play.
This allowed PSG forward line comprised of Ousman Dembele, Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratshelia to mount constant pressure on Inter’s defence forcin them in their own half.
Doue, a 19-year-old, was the brightest of the three, scoring two goals and providing an assist. Senny Mayulu and Kvaratshelia scored the fourth and fifth goals, respectively, to secure PSG’s victory.
Luis Enrique, the team’s head coach, was impressed with how well they played toward that historic victory. He even said that Dembele should win the Balon d’Or for his season.
“For the manner in which he defended today, I would award Dembele the Balon d’Or. He put in a lot of effort and was humble, so he absolutely deserves that, not only for the goals he scored but also for the pressing. What a season from him,” Enrique stated.
On the other hand, a depressed Simone Inzaghi, who stormed the final against favorite Barcelona and declared that PSG were the superior team, was full of praise for PSG.
