This year's Champions League final marks Inter's second appearance in three years. In the 2022-2023 season, Inter faced Manchester City in Istanbul, Turkey. In that clash, the Italian side played more impressively, with 14 shots, 6 of which were on target – compared to Manchester City's 7 and 4. However, the English team won thanks to a moment of brilliance from Rodri, which secured Manchester City their first Champions League title. This defeat was also Inter's first major setback. In their second appearance in the final against the French giants, Inter's current form is also inconsistent compared to their opponents. Furthermore, Inter's morale may have been affected after losing the Serie A title to Napoli in the final round. Therefore, Simone Inzagi's team once again missed out on the crown. Another painful defeat for the Italian team.
On the other side of the battlefield, PSG is currently the best version under the leadership of coach Luis Enrique. In the first half of the season, the reigning Ligue 1 champions were inconsistent, with inconsistent wins and losses in the Champions League, and it seemed they would be eliminated after the qualifying round. Specifically, PSG only ranked 15th in the qualifying round and had to go into the play-off series to qualify for the round of 16. However, at this point, PSG is almost "invincible". After completing a treble in domestic competitions, including Ligue 1, the French Cup and the French Super Cup, Luis Enrique's team was ready to win the Champions League to complete a "great" quadruple. At Allianz Arena (Germany) on the morning of June 1st, PSG realized that goal by defeating Inter Milan to be crowned champions.
Immediately after referee Istvan Kovacs blew the opening whistle, the match became exciting with both teams playing an open style of football. PSG pushed forward with the intention of launching an early attack on Inter. In the 12th minute, PSG found the net when Doue crossed the ball to Hakimi, who finished from close range to open the scoring. PSG extended their lead to two goals in the 20th minute; from an attack down the left wing, Dembele crossed the ball to Doue. The 19-year-old's shot deflected off Dimar and into the net, leaving goalkeeper Sommer helpless. The score at halftime was 2-0 in favor of PSG.
Leading by two goals, PSG were completely relaxed in the second half. While Inter were still struggling to find a goal, Vitinha delivered a perfect pass from his own half to Doue, who completed his brace and made it 3-0. Not stopping there, in the 73rd minute, the superstar duo of Dembele and Kvaratskhelia combined for PSG's fourth goal, with Dembele providing the assist and Kvaratskhelia scoring. The 5-star victory was sealed in the 86th minute when substitute Barcola assisted another substitute, Mayulu, to score.
With a resounding 5-star victory, PSG became the new Champions League champions this season. This is perhaps the biggest margin of victory in a final. Inter once again missed out on the Champions League, but this time they have no regrets as their opponent was completely superior in this match. Welcome to the new Champions League champions: Paris Saint-Germain.
