Achraf Hakimi and Desire Doue struck inside the opening 20 minutes to reward a dominant start as PSG became only the second French side to win the trophy after Marseille in 1993.

Doue set up Hakimi’s opener and became the third teenager to score in a Champions League final – three days ahead of his 20th birthday – before dispatching a clinical second after 63 minutes.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added another from Ousmane Dembele’s pass 10 minutes later as Inter capitulated.

Substitute Senny Mayulu smashed home a fifth four minutes from time as PSG claimed the biggest margin of victory in a Champions League final.
