It’s been quite long since the world witnessed a UEFA Champions League final being dominated by a single team as Paris St-Germain (PSG) did on Saturday night.
Luis Enrique’s transformation of this PSG team, letting the big names leave and creating a juggernaut of a side led by Marquinhos at the back, Vitinha controlling the midfield, and Ousmane Dembele in attack.
The Ligue 1 giants steamrolled past the compact and relentless two-time European champions Internazionale Milano at the Allianz Arena in front of a packed crowd and millions of viewers around the world.
Fans couldn’t help but revel in the dominant display Portuguese midfielder, Vitinha, exerted throughout the game. The stout midfielder linked defence to attack with ease, moving around the pitch and placing deadly through passes, including the one for Desire Doue’s second of the night.
Vitinha’s defence-splitting pass found Doue, who dummies to find Achraf Hakimi unmarked for PSG’s first before Doue’s shot deflected off Di Marco for the second goal in the 20th minute.
The Georgian magician Kvaratskhelia fired home the fourth goal before Mayulu rounded an exhilarating performance from the Parisiens for their first-ever Champions League trophy.
PSG have not just beaten Inter Milan. They have battered them. A night their fans will never ever forget.
