Although not the final match that most neutral audiences expected, the confrontation between PSG and Inter Milan promises to be attractive because of the difference in the two teams' approaches to play. PSG plays with a liberal, diverse and dedicated attacking style. Before entering the final match of the Champions League, coach Luis Enrique and his team had an explosive 2025 when they dominated Ligue 1 and won the French Cup. That achievement is a testament to PSG's remarkable maturity, helping them erase doubts about their ability to conquer the continent.
On the opposite side, Inter Milan stood out with disciplined defense and sharp tactical calculations, which had left Bayern Munich and Barcelona helpless. Although they entered the final as underdogs, the experience and bravery of the Italian representative cannot be underestimated.

PSG attacked overwhelmingly, leading 2-0 in the first half
As predicted by experts, PSG was the team with the better position after the opening whistle. The French representative deployed an all-out attacking style with a variety of attacks in the middle. In particular, PSG's two wings with the duo Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué played at full speed, forcing Inter Milan's defense to struggle to defend. In just the first 20 minutes, PSG also stunned their opponents with 2 consecutive goals.
In the 12th minute, from a beautiful pass in the middle, the ball was passed to Désiré Doué. The player known as the "new golden boy" of French football handled the ball calmly and made a pass for Achraf Hakimi to open the score of the match. In the 20th minute, Désiré Doué himself put his name on the scoreboard when he made a difficult kick in the penalty area, helping PSG lead 2-0.
The attack played well, PSG's defense also played well in the first half. PSG held the ball for more than 60%, completely controlled the midfield and did not give Inter Milan any space to attack. The Italian representative was deadlocked, only had 2 shots in this half but the balls were too inaccurate. Even at the end of the first half, if Dembele had been more careful in his finishing, Inter Milan's net could have shaken for the 3rd time.

Conceding a goal after the first half, Inter Milan tried to attack at the beginning of the second half. But like the previous developments, the Serie A representative was stuck, not having a single shot on target. Set pieces - considered Inter Milan's most dangerous weapon - could not be effective when PSG's defense continued to play excellently, covering each other too well.
The high attacking formation left many gaps in Inter Milan's home field. In the 63rd minute, young star Désiré Doué continued his brilliant performance with his second goal of the final, helping PSG lead 3-0. Just 10 minutes later, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia closed the quick counter-attack with an accurate left-footed shot, scoring the fourth goal for PSG. It did not stop there, in the 86th minute, substitute player Senny Mayulu scored, sealing a 5-0 victory for PSG.
