PSG realise their UCL dream

Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League for the first time as Luis Enrique's brilliant young side out-classed Inter Milan on Saturday in the most one-sided final ever with teenager Desire Doue scoring twice in an astonishing 5-0 victory.

Doue supplied the pass for Achraf Hakimi to give PSG an early lead and the 19-year-old went from provider to finisher as his deflected shot doubled the advantage in the 20th minute.
Doue scored again just after the hour mark, ending any doubt about the outcome before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ran away to get the fourth and substitute Senny Mayulu, another teenager, made it five.
Inter were simply no match for the French club, who recorded the biggest victory by any team in the final in the 70-year history of the European Cup and Champions League.
"This means everything. It’s our dream. It’s incredible. The result is not by magic. I’m happy we did it like this," said PSG's Portuguese midfielder Vitinha.
The triumph for the Parisians follows over a decade of huge investment from their Qatari owners, and comes five years after they lost to Bayern Munich in their only previous final appearance.
Already domestic league and cup double winners, they are just the second French winners of European football's biggest prize — Marseille were the first in 1993, when they beat AC Milan in a final also played in Munich.
