For the first time in their history, Paris Saint-Germain can now add the 2025 UEFA Champions League title to their trophy cabinet.
Paris Saint-Germain became the second ever French team, since Marseille in 1993, to win the UEFA Champions League trophy.
More history was made in Munich, as the final win means that Luis Enrique is the only manager to win two trebles, which includes a Champions League, adding his treble success with Barcelona in 2015.

It was ex-Inter Milan wing-back Hakimi who opened the scoreline when the Morocco international tapped home Doué's lay-off to make it one-nil to PSG. Still, Hakimi put his hands up in no celebration after he gave the Ligue 1 Champions the lead 12 minutes on the clock.

Spanish coach Enrique's side kept the momentum going when they went on to double their lead just eight minutes later, and it was Doué who added a goal to his earlier assist, when the French winger smashed home Ousmane Dembélé's pass across goal to make it 2-0.

Marcus Thuram came close to pulling a goal back for Inter when the Frenchman leaped up to head Hakan Çalhanoğlu's corner, but the forward's effort went just wide of Gianluigi Donnarumma's net.

Simone Inzaghi made a double substitution early in the second half, with Federico Dimarco and Benjamin Pavard, who made his first start since April, coming off, to be replaced by Germany international Yann Bisseck and Nicola Zalewski.
It did not take long for Zalewski to receive a booking amid his entry to the pitch, when the Polish full-back left a late foot in on Fabián Ruiz, which gave Romanian official Istvan Kvacs no choice but to award a yellow card.

And it was on the cusp of the hour mark when Doué was at the double to make it 3-0 to PSG, when the French winger finished off Vitinha's pass on goal, before Doué fired the ball past Sommer, ripping off his shirt in celebration, which led to a yellow card.

He became the first ever Georgian player to score in the Champions League.
