Paris St-Germain’s brilliant teenager Désiré Doué delivered a sensational performance as the French champions crushed Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich to win their first-ever UEFA Champions League title.
The 19-year-old confirmed his rise to stardom with a dazzling display, helping PSG produce the largest winning margin ever seen in a Champions League or European Cup final. Luis Enrique’s men played with flair, speed, and ruthless efficiency, completely overwhelming their Italian opponents.

According to the BBC, Doué set the tone early, assisting Achraf Hakimi’s close-range finish in the 12th minute before doubling PSG’s lead eight minutes later with a deflected strike off Federico Dimarco.
The third arrived in the 63rd minute when Ousmane Dembélé’s slick flick released Vitinha, who fed Doué for a composed finish — making him, at 19 years and 362 days, the third teenager to score in a Champions League final after Patrick Kluivert (1995) and Carlos Alberto (2004).
Inter, runners-up in 2023, were powerless as PSG turned the final into a showcase of attacking brilliance.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia raced through to score the fourth, prompting wild celebrations from Enrique, who becomes only the sixth coach to win the Champions League with two different clubs after his 2015 triumph with Barcelona.
The misery for Inter was complete when 19-year-old substitute Senny Mayulu netted the fifth goal four minutes from time, becoming the fourth teenager ever to score in a Champions League final.
