Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League for the first time in their history as Luis Enrique’s brilliant young side outclassed Inter Milan on Saturday in the most one-sided final ever. Teenager Desire Doue, 19, stole the show, scoring twice and setting up the opener in an astonishing 5-0 win. 

The result was the biggest winning margin in a final, eclipsing AC Milan’s 4-0 win over Barcelona in 1994. AC Milan had also recorded a 4-0 win against Steaua Bucuresti in the 1989 European Cup final — the predecessor of the Champions League, while Bayern Munich had also beaten Atletico Madrid 4-0 in the same competition back in 1974.

“I don’t have the words. Thanks to the Parc [des Princes, PSG’s home stadium], thanks Paris. A dream has become reality. It’s just magnificent. It’s crazy, I’m so happy,” said an overjoyed Doue.
