The match was effectively decided in the first half, with PSG taking a commanding lead through goals from Achraf Hakimi and Désiré Doué.
The opening goal came in the 12th minute after Federico Dimarco failed to mark Doué, allowing Hakimi to find himself completely unmarked in the six-yard box. The Moroccan right-back calmly tapped the ball in, refusing to celebrate against his former team, demonstrating professionalism and focus.
Just eight minutes later, Désiré Doué extended PSG’s advantage. Once again, Dimarco was caught out of position, turning his back on a powerful strike from Doué. A deflection off Dimarco’s leg sent the ball flying beyond Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer, sealing PSG’s early dominance and leaving Inter with a mountain to climb. The Italian defender’s lapse highlighted the defensive struggles that plagued Inter throughout the match.
Despite Inter’s efforts to rally, they failed to create meaningful opportunities and were unable to contain PSG’s relentless attack. PSG’s early control translated into a comprehensive victory, with the team continuing to press and extend their lead in the second half.
The final whistle confirmed PSG’s first Champions League title in club history, a milestone achievement for the French giants.
The victory marks a historic moment for PSG, capping off a season of determination and skill. The team’s commanding performance in the final reflects their growth and ambition, signaling their arrival among Europe’s elite.
