Paris Saint-Germain blew away Inter Milan in Munich to life their first Champions League title in rip-roaring fashion.
Two goals from Desire Doue, a strike from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the opener from Achraf Hakimi, and the finisher from young Senny Mayulu saw PSG to a European Treble.
They were completely dominant and relentless, tearing apart their opposition with a myriad of dribbles, flicks, and incivise passes.
Luis Enrique has now completed the Treble with two different clubs, after doing it with Barcelona in 2015 – a feat only Pep Guardiola has achieved, too.
Mail Sport’s Luke Power brings you his player ratings.
Paris Saint-Germain ripped apart Inter Milan to win the European Treble on a special night
PSG (4-3-3)
Gianluigi Donnarumma – 6
Could have brought a sun lounger because he scarcely had a thing to do. Was somewhat shaky with high balls but generally competent.
Achraf Hakimi – 7
Dovetailed beautifully with Doue all night and tapped into an empty net to open the scoring.
Marquinhos – 7
The only survivor of their 2020 heartbreak, he finally has his prize after 12 years of service. Assertive tonight.
Willian Pacho – 8
Mopped up anything in his orbit brilliantly. Kept the ball in to start the counter for PSG’s second. Lucky to escape a booking for fouling Thuram.
Achraf Hakimi (left) was the calmest man in the stadium for his goal, set up by Desire Doue
Nuno Mendes – 6
Had an introverted night after picking up a knock early on. Provided the foundation for Kvaratskhelia to wreak havoc.
Joao Neves – 6.5
Kept things simple and barely put a foot wrong. PSG’s ability to dominate the midfield was instrumental to them embarrassing Inter.
Vitinha – 7.5
The midfield metronome who ran this encounter. Lovely handiwork to pick out Doue for his second goal.
Fabian Ruiz – 6.5
Has won a European Championship and a Treble in the space of 12 months. Didn’t hog the limelight but performed maturely.
Desire Doue – 9.5 (booked)
Owned the playground. Breathtaking, balletic, special Set up Hakimi’s opener and scored two more. Aptly, his name means gifted in French.
Doue dominated this final with a goal and an assist and his potential for years to come is scary
Ousmane Dembele – 7
A masterful break and assist for Doue’s goal. Superb movement but choked a half-volley to put the game beyond doubt.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – 8
Feet like quicksilver and a nightmare to defend. Finally got his goal with an expert finish. Put a defensive shift in, too.
Manager: Luis Enrique – 8
Wins a second European Treble. PSG are more of a team than they ever have been. Every layer of the line-up is expertly drilled. After the personal tragedy he has endured, his euphoria at 4-0 was heartwarming.
Subs:
Bradley Barcola for Doue (67) – 7
Lucas Hernandez for Mendes (78) – N/A
Goncalo Ramos for Kvaratskhelia (84) – N/A
Senny Mayulu for Ruiz (84) – 7
Warren Zaire-Emery for Neves (84) – N/A
Bookings: Doue
Inter Milan (5-3-2)
Yann Sommer – 3.5
Looked panicked under a suffocating press. Has been a lifesaver this season but did little to stop the onslaught from PSG.
Denzel Dumfries – 5
Was a hero in the semi-finals but pinned down by Kvaratskhelia here. Gave the Georgian too much free reign and real estate.
Benjamin Pavard 5
Cut a frustrated figure and spent half his time complaining. Did his best to stifle a marauding Kvaratskhelia. First man to come off with Dimarco.
Francesco Acerbi – 4
Wore the boots he scored with against Barcelona but had a luckless night. Was put on the floor by Barcola’s nimble feet late on and played Mayulu on for his strike.
Alessandro Bastoni – 5.5
Physically uncompromising in his battle with Doue. Felt like he was competing with two right-wingers at times.
Federico Dimarco – 3
Had a howler. Played Doue and Hakimi onside for the opener. Turned his back on Doue for the second. Hooked after 53 minutes.
Nicolo Barella – 5.5
A nondescript performance from one of the world’s best. A speculative volley into row Z summed up his night.
Hakan Calhanoglu – 6
A rare spark for Inter. Lashed a dangerous cross in for Thuram but blew hot and cold from dead-ball situations, usually his USP.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan – 5
A third European trophy eludes him. Looked out of ideas in the face of PSG’s magnificent midfield trio.
Marcus Thuram – 5
Fluffed his lines with a back-post header and looked sapped of confidence. Typically a step behind Pacho.
Lautaro Martinez – 4.5
Anonymous after a remarkable season. Looked isolated as Inter struggled to make it past the halfway line.
Manager: Filippo Inzaghi (booked) – 5
Helpless to deal with Doue’s brilliance from the touchline. Made changes early enough but couldn’t inspire a turnaround. Outwitted by Enrique and has lost a second final in three years.
Subs:
Yann Aurel Bisseck for Pavard (54) – N/A
Nicola Zalewski for Dimarco (54) – 5.5
Carlos Augusto for Mkhitaryan (62) – 5.5
Matteo Darmian for Bisseck (62) – 5
Kristjan Asllani for Calhanogulu (70) – 6
Bookings: Zalewski, Acerbi, Thuram
Referee: Istvan Kovacs
