PSG vs Inter Milan Match
Paris Saint-Germain wasted no time taking control of the Champions League Final, scoring just 12 minutes in, marking the quickest goal in a final since 2019.
A clever ball from Vitinha into the penalty area found Désiré Doué, who calmly laid it off to former Inter man Achraf Hakimi.
Hakimi made no error, slotting it home to give PSG the early advantage.
The lead was extended only eight minutes later when Doué fired a shot from the right side of the box.

The attempt took a deflection off Federico Dimarco, wrong-footing Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer and finding the back of the net.
Doué’s standout performance continued into the second half as he struck again in the 63rd minute, netting PSG’s third goal of the night.
Ten minutes later, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added a fourth, and the scoring was capped in the 86th minute by substitute Senny Mayulu, who had only just entered the pitch two minutes earlier.
His goal also etched his name into the record books as one of the youngest players to score in a Champions League final.
Following the final whistle, Doué was named Player of the Match for his instrumental role in PSG’s commanding performance.
The 5-0 result set a record for the biggest margin of victory in a Champions League final, eclipsing previous 4-0 wins by AC Milan in 1989 and 1994, and Bayern Munich in 1974.
