On June 01, 2025, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) made history by securing their first-ever UEFA Champions League title with a stunning 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the 2024/25 final. This monumental win at the Parc des Princes not only crowned PSG as European champions but also completed a remarkable treble, following their Ligue 1 and Coupe de France successes earlier in the season. But is this 5-0 rout the biggest win in Champions League final history? Let’s dive into the match highlights and compare this result to past finals.
Match Highlights: PSG’s Dominant Display
PSG delivered a masterclass performance, overwhelming Inter Milan with relentless pace, precision, and attacking firepower. Nineteen-year-old winger Desire Doue emerged as the star, scoring twice—once in each half—solidifying his status as a rising global superstar. Former Inter player Achraf Hakimi added to the Italian side’s misery with a clinical finish, while Georgian forward Kvicha Kvaratskhelia also got on the scoresheet, underlining PSG’s dominance. The fifth goal sealed a one-sided affair, leaving Inter Milan unable to respond and marking their second Champions League final loss in three years.
Is This the Biggest Champions League Final Win Ever?
To determine if PSG’s 5-0 victory is the largest in Champions League final history, we need to compare it to past results. The UEFA Champions League, rebranded from the European Cup in 1992, has seen some remarkable finals, but blowouts are rare. Below, we examine the biggest margins of victory in finals since 1992 and notable European Cup finals before that.

PSG’s 5-0 Win in Context
PSG’s 5-0 triumph over Inter Milan surpasses the modern Champions League record of 4-0 set by AC Milan in 1994. The five-goal margin is unprecedented in the competition’s final since the 1992 rebranding of the competition. Even in the European Cup era (1955–1992), the largest single-match final win was Real Madrid’s 7-3 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in 1960, a 4-goal margin. However, PSG’s 5-0 result stands out for its clean sheet and sheer dominance, making it arguably the most one-sided Champions League final in the modern era.
