Paris Saint-Germain win the Champions League in style

Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League for the first time by thrashing Inter Milan 5-0 on Saturday in the most one-sided final in the competition's history.

Text size:

Teenager Desire Doue scored twice for PSG and set up the opening goal for Achraf Hakimi in Munich's Allianz Arena before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia made it four and then 19-year-old substitute Senny Mayulu completed the scoring.

PSG took the lead after 12 minutes when Hakimi sidefooted home a pass from Doue.

The Parisians went 2-0 ahead eight minutes later when their defender Willian Pacho improbably kept the ball from going out at the PSG end and the resulting fast-flowing move led to Doue firing in a deflected shot that evaded Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

PSG made it 3-0 with a goal created by Vitinha's surging run. He exchanged passes with Ousmane Dembele, before delivering a pass into the path of 19-year-old Doue who drilled the ball into the net.

The match was put beyond doubt by Georgian international Kvaratskhelia's brilliant low finish before Mayulu rounded off a slick passing move.

Qatari-owned PSG are just the second French club since Marseille in 1993 to win European football's top trophy.
