PSG routs Inter Milan to win first-ever Champions League title - SBI Soccer

For the first time in club history, Paris Saint-Germain lifted the UEFA Champions League title, and in some fashion to say the least.

A youthful PSG squad routed an experienced Inter Milan side 5-0 in Munich on Saturday to claim the only trophy that previously alluded them. 19-year-old Desire Doue stole the show with two goals and one assist, while three additional players got on the scoresheet for Luis Enrique's squad.

Veteran wingback Achraf Hakimi propelled the Ligue 1 champions in front after 12 minutes, setting the stage for a busy night. Doue received a pass inside the 18-yard box before crossing to a wide-open Hakimi for an easy tap-in.

Doue extended PSG's lead to 2-0 in the 20th minute, rifling a deflected shot into the back of the net for his first goal of the night.

PSG would continue to pile it on after the hour mark as Doue added his second goal on a counter attack. His right-footed shot snuck in near post to make it 3-0 PSG.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia slotted home Ousmane Dembele's upfield pass to make it 4-0 with 17 minutes to play before 19-year-old Senny Mayulu capped the final score at 5-0 to give PSG a victory they won't soon forget.

The result not only caps off a quadruple for PSG, but also seals their berth into the UEFA Super Cup this August against Europa League winners Tottenham.

As for Inter Milan, Saturday's loss caps off a disappointing end of the season, which saw Simone Inzaghi's men fall short of winning Serie A and also the Coppa Italia.
