The 2024/25 Champions League final at the Allianz Arena in Munich turned out to be a one-sided affair, as PSG easily defeated Inter Milan - a team that collapsed in every way - with a score of 5-0.
PSG won the Champions League for the first time in history, after more than 2.2 billion euros invested in shopping over the past 15 years. At the same time, the Paris capital club completed a historic treble.
Desire Doue assisted Achraf Hakimi to open the scoring, then scored twice to put PSG 3-0 up. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu then scored the remaining two goals.
“I didn’t know we would win like this. It’s great to make history. We were under a lot of pressure,” Luis Enrique said at the Allianz Arena, feeling elated.
Enrique praised the final hero : “You never expect to reach this level. Doue belongs to the generation like Lamine Yamal.
In their generation it was a party, but in mine we were scared.
We know how to manage pressure. My players live on their mobile phones.
We proved that we got here by playing football. Inter are a great team, but we didn't give them the chance to show that."
PSG improved with each round, and were rated higher than Inter before the final. “If you look at the statistics, we were the better team,” Luis Enrique admitted.
“The players have stepped up to a new level, otherwise we would have been eliminated. We want to continue.”
Referring to his role, the Spaniard shared: “What I want is to be a little better coach. Where does Vitinha come from? Ousmane Dembele is always a phenomenon, but then you have to dig deeper.
He is a leader through action. Tell me, is there any number 9 in Europe who presses like him?
The media reiterated that the absence of Kylian Mbappe helped PSG play better.

“We really wanted him, but Mbappe chose another path and we respect that,” Luis Enrique responded.
He emphasized about Mbappe: “The coach has to make the players believe that it is possible. We have proven that we have stars thanks to collective play, not the other way around.”
As soon as Mbappe left, PSG made history. On the contrary, the appearance of the French player caused Real Madrid to end a golden era because of the lack of balance throughout the season.
Luis Enrique's goal now is to "think about the FIFA Club World Cup and strengthening the squad. When I first came to PSG, I didn't know how many titles I would win, but I would build a real team" .
