After countless failures, Paris Saint-Germain finally reached the promised land.
The French club defeated Inter Milan 5-0 in the first final of the new extensive Champions League tournament.
For PSG, 19-year-old Désiré Doué scored a brace, while Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu completed the goalest in Munich, a city that was used to writing history in this showpiece. It was the biggest victory of the history of this competition.
This year's final is the fifth time that Munich has organized the final of the European Cup of Champions League. Unbelievable, every final held by Munich has produced a new winner.
The final of 1979 between Nottingham Forest and Malmo van Zweden was held in the Olympic Stadium of Munich. The English team won 1-0. Nottingham also only became the second British team that won the tournament after Celtic.
The 1992-1993 edition was comparable to the 2024-2025 edition in the sense that it also debuted a new format and was also won by a French team, in this case Olimpico de Marseille, in Munich. Their opponent was AC Milan and Basile Boli scored the only goal of the game. It was the first time that a club from France, the birthplace of the Champions League, had won the championship.
Four years later, at the same location and against another Italian opponent, Borussia Dortmund claimed their first and so far only “big ears” trophy. A brace from Karl-Heinz Riedle and another Van Lars Ricken defeated Juventus, who could do little to stop the goal of Alessandro del Piero.
Finally, in one of the most exciting finals of recent years, Chelsea Bayern Munich hit their home base, the Allianz Arena. Thomas Müller opened the score in the 83rd minute, but Didier Drogba equalized five minutes and sent the game in extra time. In extra time, goalkeeper Petr čech saved a penalty from Arjen Robben, and Drogba converted the winning kick in the last shootout.
