There are evenings when stuttering history, and others where it is written in gold and light letters. This Saturday, in Munich, thirty-two years after the coronation from Marseille in this same Bavarian city, Paris Saint-Germain not only conquered its first Champions League; He offered football a dazzling demonstration, a masterpiece of collective control and pure talent, by pulverizing Inter Milan 5 goals to 0. A final victory, a symphony played without the slightest false note, which anchors this club at the top of Europe and offers France its second star.
The advent of a prodigy named Désiré Doué
If this triumph is that of a collective oiled to perfection by Luis Enrique, he carries the incandescent imprint of a kid of nineteen years: Désiré Doué. Monumental, elusive, of confusing maturity, the young Parisian splashed this final with his entire class. Two goals, a decisive pass: never has such a young player danced with such insolence on the largest European scene. His name, predestined, now resonates around the world, promise a bright future for him and for this conquering PSG. He was the lighthouse of a team which, despite the usual doubts escorting a final and the youth of its workforce in the face of the intensive experience, delivered a partition bordering on perfection.
More than a victory, a demonstration! PSG conquered Europe
A collective symphony, an inter in debris
We wondered how Paris was going to manage the pressure. The answer was scathing. From the second minute, Achraf Hakimi, former resident of the Intertistist, concluded a bright collective action, initiated by Vitinha and sublimated by an offering of this devil of Doué. 1-0. Inter, this ogre who had devoured Barcelona, was struck. Eight minutes later, on a lightning transition led by KVaratskhelia and Dembélé, desired Doué, with the success of the elected officials, saw his shot finished at the bottom of the nets. 2-0. In just ten minutes, Paris had folded the match, or almost. The inter, unrecognizable, suffocated, completely thwarting, has only been creating a second -hand shadow, a thuram head bordering on the frame (38th). An anecdote.
A start -to -end recital
The return of the locker room did not change the physiognomy of a one -way match. After a few attempts missed by Dembélé (52nd) or Hakimi (61st), the sentence fell, inevitable. Désiré Goué, again, served by a brilliant heel of Dembélé relayed by Vitinha, was going to deceive himself summon from an exterior of the malicious foot (63rd). 3-0. The Parisian people could exult, gifted out under a deserved ovation, replaced by Bradley Barcola. But the interlice of the Inter was not finished. Far from it. KHVICHA KVAratskhelia, after a pass from Dembélé, went there first of all (73rd).
Marquinhos and PSG finally on the roof of Europe.
Mayulu, the titi for a historical and unprecedented partition
The long Parisian wait, the disillusions have passed since 2011, everything seemed to be fading before the splendor of this demonstration. This PSG, Luis Enrique version, is a team where the PRIME collective, where each player, like a KVaratskhelia coming to defend while the fate was seal, sacrificed for the other. And as if to crown this work of art, the young Senny Mayulu, a pure “titi” product of the club, completed the work of a clear strike after a pass of Barcola (86th). 5-0. An unprecedented score in the Champions League final. Historical. Phenomenal.
PSG on the roof of Europe, and it is perhaps only the beginning
No one will dare to challenge the legitimacy of this coronation. Paris has agreed. This magnificent, young, talented team seems promised to a golden future. France of football, with the exception of an irreducible fringe in Marseille, can be proud. It is not the fruit of chance, nor of any superstition linked to Bavarian land. It is the triumph of work, talent and an impeccable state of mind. The night will be long, very long, on the Champs-Élysées. And she is beautiful.
