Paris Saint-Germain put up a sensational performance, as they hammered Inter Milan 5-0 in this year’s Champions League final on Saturday night.
The Ligue 1 side dominated the game from start to finish in Munich, as they won the competition for the first time in their history.
PSG were ahead within 13 minutes, as Achraf Hakimi found himself free in the area to tap home Desire Doue’s low cross.
Desire then saw his effort deflect in off Di Marco in the 20th minute as the Ligue 1 champions raced into a two-goal lead.

The young winger put the game out of Inter’s reach with a composed finish, before goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Mayulu rounded off what was indeed a five-star showing.
For Luis Enrique, this is his second treble of his managerial career, as he had previously achieved it with Barcelona.
In other news, Tottenham Hotspur have won this year’s Europa League, following a 1-0 win over Manchester United on Wednesday night.
Both teams came into the game looking to win the trophy that would have been a huge positive in a dreadful season.
Winning the Europa would also secure a place in next season’s Champions League.
And it was Spurs who scored the only goal of the match in Bilbao.
Brennan Johnson got on the end of a loose ball in the area to prod it past Andre Onana in the first half.
Manchester United dominated possession but struggled to convert it into clear opportunities, coming closest when Rasmus Hojlund’s header nearly equalized before being cleared acrobatically by Micky van de Ven on the line, and a 97th-minute save by Vicario from a Luke Shaw header.
