David Hytner was in Munich, and here’s his report. Congratulations to Paris Saint-Germain, who have won the Champions League, Ligue 1 and the French Cup; commiserations to Internazionale, who have missed out on Serie A and the Champions League in the space of a week; and thanks to you for reading this MBM.

Paris: en fête. Back home, 48,000 fans had been watching on giant screens at the Parc des Princes. The Champs Elysees is now heaving with joyous supporters setting off fireworks, folks hanging out of cars waving scarves, the lot. The Eiffel Tower has been lit up in the blue and red 0f PSG. According to Reuters, some tear gas and pepper spray has been deployed to maintain order, with one car set alight and several dozen people arrested. Emmanuel Macron, who supports Marseille, put out the following on social media: “A glorious day for PSG! Bravo, we are all proud. Paris, the capital of Europe this evening.” The president will greet the players at the Elysee Palace tomorrow, with the team expected to parade down the Champs Elysees.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the first Georgian to win the Champions League, and with his country’s flag draped over his shoulders, talks to TNT. “It is crazy … a dream come true … I cannot describe it … crazy emotions … I am so proud that I am Georgian … they are happy in my country … all of the team … I am just happy that I am one of them … I really wanted to come here … it was the right choice … I am happy that I am here with these amazing guys.”

Désiré Doué, who has deservedly been named Player of the Match, talks to TNT. “I have no words … it’s just incredible for me … simply incredible … I have no words, sorry, sorry! … [Luis Enrique] has been here two years … tactically, mentally he’s a really good coach … an unbelievable coach and as a human being too … it’s a pleasure to work with him … [the celebrations] are gonna be crazy!”

We also have to update the stat about Désiré Doué becoming the third-youngest scorer in Champions League final history … because he’s been nudged down to fourth by his team-mate Senny Mayulu! Doué held onto third spot for one hour and 25 minutes.

1. Patrick Kluivert (AJAX v Milan, 1995, 18 years and 327 days)
2. Senny Mayulu (PSG v Internazionale, 2025, 19 years and 14 days)
3. Carlos Alberto (PORTO v Monaco, 2004, 19 years and 167 days)
4. Désiré Doué (PSG v Internazionale, 2025, 19 years and 362 days)

PSG have become the 24th team to win Europe’s biggest club prize. Here’s the updated roll of honour, just so we know where everyone stands.

15: Real Madrid
7: Milan
6: Liverpool, Bayern Munich
5: Barcelona

• 2017: Real Madrid 4-1 Juventus

Quite a number of PSG fans flood onto the pitch. One clambering on the goal frame, Scotland-at-Wembley-1977 style. All good natured, everything and everyone under control. The PSG players and staff wander among and around them.

The PSG fans unveil a huge banner of Luis Enrique and Xana planting a PSG flag. Enrique, smiling broadly but also awash with emotion, clearly appreciates the gesture. His t-shirt, which has a cute cartoon representing him and Xana with a PSG flag, comes with the caption: We are the champions! What beautiful and touching tributes.

Luis Enrique is lifted high into the air, along with the cup. He’s beyond delighted. Quite a few PSG suits in the middle of the melee, getting in the road quite frankly. President Nasser Al-Khelaifi one of them. The players grab the trophy and race off towards their fans. Up the other end, barely populated now, Inter defender Denzel Dumfries takes his time to console some tearful supporters. That’s a lovely touch.

PSG: Champions of Europe! The officials receive their medals. Inter, dejected and grim-faced, receive their silver medals. And then PSG, delighted, euphoric, queue up to get their gold ones. A kiss of the cup as it sits on the plinth. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia even gives it a bear hug! Last man up, the captain Marquinhos, who takes the trophy from Uefa chief Aleksander Čeferin, saunters over to the podium where his team-mates and manager await … and hoists it high into the sky as the gold and silver ticker tape rains down!

Luis Enrique pulls on a new t-shirt. On the front, a homage to his daughter Xana, who passed away in 2019 aged just nine. When Enrique won this competition with Barcelona back in 2015, he celebrated with Xana on the pitch, and she planted a Barcelona flag in the ground. Enrique’s shirt depicts her planting a PSG flag as well. He’s smiling. Fond memories. Such a sweet, sweet, bittersweet moment.

“I remember an incredible photo I have of her in the Champions League final in Berlin, after winning the Champions League, putting the flag of FC Barcelona in the pitch,” explained Enrique during this week’s build-up. “I have the wish to be able to do the same with Paris Saint-Germain. My daughter won’t be there, but she will be … she won’t be there physically, but she will be spiritually and that, for me, is very important … my daughter loved parties and I’m sure where she is, she’s still having parties.”

Vitinha speaks to TNT. “It means everything … the fans are the main reason we wanted to win this trophy … it is our dream … everyone’s dream … my dream … it’s incredible … the team is a very good team … the result is not by magic … we are very happy that we did it like this, and we are going to celebrate!”

Luis Enrique and his men – some of them still kids, really – leap around in joy and relief! Old Big Ears is coming to Paris at last! Inter captain Lautaro Martínez staring into the middle distance. Freed From Desire blasts out of the speakers. Of course it does. Everyone PSG-minded springing around in delight. Enrique with a huge hug for the two-goal hero Désiré Doué … then everyone else in his team. They’ve all earned one. To a man – some of them still kids, really – they’ve been exceptional. They’re all going down in history. They deserve this, one and all. Who needs galacticos?!

90 min: Marquinhos is booked for hauling back Bastoni. And it’s the last action of the match, because three seconds after the 90-minute mark, the referee István Kovács has mercy on Inter and blows the whistle!

88 min: This is now the biggest margin of victory in any European Cup or Champions League final. PSG have been worth every goal. It’s been a match too far for an aging Inter.

85 min: PSG stroke it around in the clock-management style. “Here in Italy, the former Inter defender Beppe Bergomi, now TV commentator, is seriously distraught as he watches the dismantling of Inter who were so near to Serie A and Champions League glory and yet so far,” reports Colum Fordham.

84 min: Zaïre-Emery, Gonçalo Ramos and Mayulu come on for Neves, Kvaratskhelia, and Ruiz.

83 min: PSG pass it around to a rousing chorus of olés. For a second, it looks like it’s showboat time … but suddenly Barcola is sent scampering into acres down the right. He drags another shot wide left.

81 min: Barcola twinkle-toes into the PSG box down the left channel. He sits Acerbi down with an elegant feint. He has to score, but instead of rolling across Sommer and into the unguarded right-hand side of the net, gives the keeper a look and tries to beat him at the near post. One trick too many. He drags it wide.

80 min: … mind you, that doesn’t stop Barcola fuming with Kvaratskhelia, the latter failing to send him clear with a simple pass. And Donnarumma has words for Dembele, too, as he ships possession and gives Zielinski the chance to shoot from distance. Straight at the keeper. He wants his clean sheet!

79 min: Dumfries threatens to break into space down the right but Kvaratskhelia races back to win the footrace, get on the ball, and draw a foul. That’s astonishing work, and another example of how this all-new PSG side are a proper team.

78 min: Mendes is replaced by Hernandez.

77 min: Inter, to their immense credit, push for a consolation. A couple of corners in quick succession. Some pinball after the first one. Asllani curls the second one high and Donnarumma claims unfussily. Plenty of tears in the Inter end.

75 min: A little bit of space for Thuram, found by Barella just inside the PSG box on the left. He opens his body but doesn’t get enough behind his sidefooted effort. Donnarumma parries and the loose ball is hacked clear. The PSG keeper finally called into action.

71 min: Asllani comes on for Çalhanoğlu. Then Acerbi is booked for wrestling Ruiz to the ground.

70 min: PSG are hunting a fourth. Barcola crosses low from the right. Mendes tries to back-flick home at the near post but doesn’t connect properly. The ball’s returned from the left to Barcola, who blazes over. He should have hit the target at least.

69 min: Thuram is booked for a frustrated late studs-up lunge on Ruiz. “I’d imagine the engraver can crack on and have an early night,” suggests Matt Dony.

67 min: Martinez crosses from the left. Augusto can’t connect, six yards out at the near post. Half a chance there.

66 min: No hat-trick for Doue. Just the two goals and an assist! He’s replaced by his not-quite-as-young-but-still-young pal Barcola.

65 min: Darmian slips Dumfries into space down the inside-right channel. There’s a bit of contact from Neves from behind, and he goes over, but he’s not getting the penalty he wants.

64 min: Doue is booked for stripping off his shirt during the celebration, and he won’t care a jot. Doue isn’t a superstar in the making; he’s already a superstar.

62 min: Poor Bisseck can’t continue. He’s replaced by Darmian, while Augusto comes on for Mkhitaryan.

61 min: Doue diddles Bastoni with a cute trick out on the right touchline, turning his back on the defender before flicking the ball down the flank. Exquisite. Hakimi is the beneficiary, and he enters the box before sending a low shot across goal and wide left.

60 min: Bisseck falls over while running at speed. He crashes to the ground in spectacular style, glances over at the bench with a worried look in his eye, then gets up holding the back of his leg. He’ll continue for now.

59 min: Barella flays a dreadful effort miles off target. A bit early to get this desperate. Inter are, at least, now seeing a bit more of the ball in enemy territory.

58 min: Thuram attempts to spin into space only to be blocked by Pacho. A garden-variety foul in the centre circle. Inter coach Simone Inzaghi doesn’t see it that way, and waves his jacket around in frustration, all the while telling it as he sees it. The referee comes across and books him.

56 min: Zalewski has only been on a matter of seconds, and he’s already in the book. That’s because, having cut inside from the left only for his shot to be blocked by Mendes, he then clips Ruiz late while trying to recover the loose ball.

55 min: Donnarumma flaps at a ball sent in from the Inter right. It’ll be a corner from the left. That one drops to Barella, who attempts a drive through the crowded box, but it’s blocked and cleared. Better from Inter, though the bar is set low.

54 min: Inter make a double change, hooking Pavard and the hapless Dimarco for Bisseck and Zalewski. Meanwhile Gavin White has a word for half-time correspondent John Honig: “If Rafa was doing the half time team talk, he would be trying to put on 12 players. True story.”

52 min: PSG are pressing for the third goal that would surely put this game to bed. Dembele waltzes down the inside-left channel, enters the box, and opens his body for the curler. The shot is always wide of the right-hand post. Sommer wasn’t getting there had it been on target.

50 min: Ruiz and Kvaratskhelia exchange quick passes down the left. The ball pinballs around, then sits up for Kvaratskhelia on the left-hand corner of the six-yard box. Kvaratskhelia leans back and hoicks over. He’s been wasteful so far this evening.

49 min: Barella crosses from the right. Hakimi heads back towards Donnarumma, but the keeper wasn’t expecting it and the ball flies out for a corner. It’s sent in from the left. The ball pings off Marquinhos’ thigh, then Martinez’s arm. The pressure off PSG.

48 min: Thuram makes good down the right and is upended by Pacho, who is fortunate not to go into the book. But it is a free kick just to the side of the PSG box. Inter load it. Çalhanoğlu then hoicks the set piece straight over it. Goal kick. That’s dismal under any circumstances, but especially when you need a goal, fast, in the biggest game of the season.

46 min: So, those huge gaps in the Inter midfield … that’s not been sorted. Ruiz ambles into one and sends Kvaratskhelia dancing down the inside-left channel. Kvaratskhelia enters the box and aims for the top-left corner. Wide and high.

Inter get the second half underway. No changes. “No wonder Inter are nervous,” writes Kieran McHugh. “They’re playing for the right to face Spurs in the Super Cup.”

At 19 years and 362 days, Désiré Doué has become the third youngest scorer in Champions League final history. The only lads ahead of him: Patrick Kluivert, who scored for Ajax against Milan in 1995 aged 18 years 327 days, and Carlos Alberto, who opened the scoring in the 2004 finals for Porto against Monaco aged 19 years 167 days.)

Half-time postbag. “Freeing themselves off Mbappe is the best thing that PSG has done. Real can pick up some clues here” – Krishnamoorthy V

“I imagine that Giuseppe Bergomi is somewhere in the VIP seats. Mightn’t be bad idea for Inzhagi to invite him down to have a chat with the team at half time. What his views are on the defending so far would be worth hearing” – Charles Antaki

“If Rafa Benitez is at the final, he needs to get to the Inter dressing room at half time” – John Honig

“I have to admit that despite links to a despotic regime (in reality, both PSG and Inter have links with Qatar), I slightly prefer (less dislike) PSG. Partly because I am an English Napoli fan and both Kvara and Fabian Ruiz are much-loved former Napoli players. However, I do admire Dimarco who has had an amazing season as left back for Inter so rather sad to see him charged with responsibility for both goals. Here’s hoping for an Inter goal to ensure a more exciting final” – Colum Fordham

“Nothing is new really. Alf Ramsey used full backs to generate overloads - though, to be fair, not on the edge of the six yard box” – Gary Naylor

“When did David Tennant become PSG’s left winger?” – Neil Thomson

45 min +2: Kvaratskhelia spins and shimmies down the inside-left channel before shooting low and hard. The ball pings off Dumfries’ ankle and nearly creeps into the bottom right. Sommer was rooted to the spot, beaten if that was on target. And from the resulting corner, Kvaratskhelia wins a free header six yards out, but his attempt to guide it into the unguarded top left flies over the bar. Another huge chance!

45 min +1: Doue advances down the inside-left channel and tries to thread a shot across Sommer and into the bottom right. Inches wide, though the keeper had it covered.

45 min: There will be two additional first-half minutes.

44 min: Doue flashes the ball across the face of the Inter goal from the left. Dembele, having sashayed away from Dimarco at speed, simply has to trundle the ball home at the far stick, but somehow manages to flash it back across goal instead. That could have put PSG almost out of sight.

43 min: Now it’s PSG’s turn to calm things down a bit. Which they do, by hogging the ball, passing this way and that across the back.

41 min: Dumfries crosses low from the right. The ball pinballs towards Barella, who should have an opportunity to shoot from ten yards – he’s got space and time – but takes an awful heavy touch and the chance is gone. That’s three good opportunities for Inter now, despite the overall picture being nearly all Paris. Next goal could change everything.

39 min: That’s another big miss by Inter. Two very inviting headers sent high and wide. They’ve been utterly outplayed so far, and yet they’ve given up two huge chances, and it could easily be 2-2. If nothing else, that’ll give Inter some much-needed encouragement, and PSG pause for thought. Funny old game, football.

37 min: Another Inter corner down the right. Çalhanoğlu hits it long. Thuram leaps miles above Kvaratskhelia, a complete mismatch at the far stick. He’s got to score, but slams his header wide left.

36 min: A little bit of space for Thuram down the right. But he’s only got Dumfries up with him, and he’s forced to turn tail. “Disappointed with Inter so far,” begins Krishnamoorthy V with heroic understatement. “There is a purpose to PSG’s moves but Inter seems to be kicking the ball haphazardly. I am worried for Simone Inzaghi though - he may rupture a few arteries by half time.”

34 min: … Marquinhos heads harmlessly wide left. But at the risk of belabouring the point: Inter can’t keep on like this. Their midfield is ludicrously easy to play through.

33 min: Again one simple ping out from the back and the PSG midfield is away. Ruiz sends a pass down the right for Dembele, whose shot-cum-cross is deflected out for a corner. From which …

31 min: There are huge gaps in the Inter midfield. One simple flick-on out of the PSG defence releases Hakimi to make big yards down the middle. Dembele wins a corner that comes to nothing, but Inter can’t keep on like this.

29 min: Dimarco nicks the ball off a snoozing Hakimi, and tries to execute a one-two with Barella down the inside left. It nearly comes off, but Hakimi regains his composure to return and barge Dimarco off the ball, and then the flag goes up for offside anyway. Inter are doing absolutely nothing up front.

27 min: Ruiz drifts in from the right and shoots through a crowded box. In the circumstances, Sommer does well to gather nervelessly. “From the goal line of one of end the pitch to the goal line (and a bit further) of the other, PSG’s second was as maximal a counter-attack as you can get,” observes Joe Johnson.

25 min: Inter try to take some of the sting out of the game with some sterile possession at the back. “I know it doesn’t have the same optics, but being that far deeper than the defensive line is a Karius level howler from Dimarco,” argues Hugh Molloy. And that was sent before the deflection for the second.

23 min: Çalhanoğlu whips the corner in at speed. Acerbi wins a header, six yards out, but plants it over the bar. He should have got that on target, surely. It should be 2-1.

22 min: Inter need to score the next goal, and with this in mind, Dumfries barrels down the right and wins his team their first corner of the game. From which …

19 min: A measure of the task already facing Inter: the last team to win the Champions League final after conceding first was Real Madrid, conquerers of Atletico in 2014.

17 min: Dumfries wins a header down the inside-right channel and looks to have the beating of Pacho. The two come together and Dumfries goes down. It should be a free kick, but Inter aren’t getting one. PSG counter and nearly add insult to injury, but Kvaratskhelia’s long-distance shot flies harmlessly over the bar.

15 min: The PSG fans had been making the most noise before the goal. Now the volume is through the roof. Their side has enjoyed 63 percent possession up to this point.

13 min: Just over ten minutes in, yet that had been coming. What an assist by Doue, too. He was within his rights to shoot himself, but spotted the no-brainer option in the middle. Just a gorgeous team move.

11 min: Acerbi passes long but there’s nobody in yellow up front. Donnarumma takes up possession. Inter haven’t shown in attack yet at all. PSG have, though, and this time it’s Dembele shooting from the edge of the box, having cut in from the right. Sommer gathers again.

9 min: Mendes switches play from left to right for Ruiz, who nearly manages to free Hakimi on the overlap. Inter clear but PSG come again, through Doue down the left. He takes the first shot of the evening, towards the bottom left from distance, but that’s easy for Sommer.

7 min: Doue probes down the right only to be shoved over by Bastoni. A clear foul, both hands on the chest, but the defender acts innocent anyway. The resulting free kick causes Inter some bother, as Vitinha whistles it through the six-yard box. Marquinhos nearly meets it with his head, but is eased away from the ball by Acerbi. PSG have definitely started the better.

6 min: PSG are seeing more of the ball during these tentative early exchanges. “Right, settling in to savour some old-school Inter defending à la Giuseppe Bergomi,” writes Charles Antaki. “What he’d make of the current hairstyles – or the University Gold kit – is anyone’s guess. (Mine would be: not much.)”

4 min: A slightly nervy start by Inter. Pavard bobbles a backpass towards Sonner, who then shanks straight out of play under pressure from Dembele.

2 min: There’s an atmosphere befitting the occasion in the Allianz/Fußball Arena. It’s a lovely balmy evening as well.

PSG get the ball rolling … and Fabian Ruiz, rugby style, goes straight for touch down the left! A slightly odd start to proceedings.

Linkin Park have just performed, and now fiddle player David Garrett is making an unholy mess of Seven Nation Army. Curse the moment the Uefa bigwigs first clapped eyes on the Super Bowl half-time show. (Having said that, here’s a performance to cleanse the palate.) And so the teams take to the pitch! Now it’s Zadok the Priest’s turn to get thoroughly worked over. Once hands have been clasped, coins tossed and pennants exchanged, we’ll be off at long last!

Pre-match postbag. “I look forward to following the mbm tonight for an exciting 0-0 aet. However I am worried that match may not happen as, per the pennants, one team will be at the Allianz Arena while the other will be a the Fußball Arena” – Ludovic Lemaignen

“I lived in Paris as a boy and one of the few things I took with me home to Iceland was an uncomplicated love for the blue shirt with the white and red stripe that the older boys wore who let play football with them in the park. During the last 15 years I’ve had considerably more complicated feelings about that club which I thought had beaten my affection into apathy. That said, I’m not saying I’ve been stressed, but I’ve spent all day cleaning my apartment and listening to history podcasts. I thought I didn’t care anymore, but somewhere inside there’s still that six year old who fell in love with football and Paris Saint Germain at the same time. Stupid boy, why didn’t he know that shirt would become the plaything of an absolute monarchy” – Kári Tulinius

“I’ve never been a fan of the Terry’s Chocolate Orange, but they brought out a mint version a while back, and it is dynamite. The Scotland 1978 Brazil 1970 of spherical, segmented, foil-wrapped chocolate confectionery. If tonight’s final is half as good we’re in for a classic. They won’t be talking about this on TNT Sports, I’ll bet” – Simon McMahon

Turns out that Inter kit isn’t yellow after all. In the pre-match blog, Rob Smyth suggested the strip “could be good news for Chris Martin’s bank balance should they win and a TV company find themselves in urgent need of a montage soundtrack.” Peter Oh initially thought the same, only to be quickly disabused from the notion. “I also hummed ‘… and it was all yellow’ when I saw the kit that Inter will wear tonight,” he writes, “but according to the kind folks at Nike, the colour is actually ‘University Gold’. I guess we’re about to witness a graduation ceremony of elite football.”

So should anyone in the montage department at TNT need digging out of a hole at 10.47pm tonight, we urge them to click below. Cue it up at 32 seconds and let rip. (The Aussie version at 1m 05s is an egregious disgrace, a gradually unfolding audio and visual horror-show of gargantuan proportion, affront piled on top of needless provocation, and yet so strangely catchy; good luck suppressing the desire to keep spinning it back and watching agog. And yes I am aware we’ve wandered quite a way off piste with kick-off fast approaching.)

Pennant watch. Here’s what PSG captain Marquinhos will be handing over during the pre-match niceties. A typically classy piece in the retro-poster style, here it’s the centrepiece of an enigmatic pop-art collage also featuring a fruit platter, several hundred toothpicks, some power bars, three toilet rolls, a carry case of assorted hardware, and what may or may not be a box of Terry’s Chocolate Orange in the top-right corner. If this was an LP cover you’d stay up half the night trying to decode it.

Inter are playing in their third-choice yellow strip this evening. So that means their pennant will clash with captain Lautaro Martínez’s shirt, but what a gorgeous thing it is anyway (the current Volkswagen-adjacent monstrosity of a crest, not half as good as the old interlapping FCIM logo, notwithstanding).

The head-to-head record. There isn’t one. This will be the first time these two clubs have met. This happened to Inter a couple of years ago, too, when they faced Manchester City for the first time in the 2023 final.

PSG make one change to the side that started the second leg of the semi-final against Arsenal. Ousmane Dembélé comes in for Bradley Barcola, who must make do with a place on the bench. It’s the same XI that started the first leg of the semi.

Inter make one change to the team that started both legs of their epic semi-final with Barcelona. Benjamin Pavard is back from injury so takes the place of Yann Bisseck, who drops to the bench.

How Inter got here. They finished the league phase in fourth spot, before seeing off Feyenoord, Bayern Munich and – quite sensationally – Barcelona. Fancy reliving that glorious nonsense again? Of course you do.

How PSG got here. Trouncing everyone from the Premier League, basically.

Inter are the last Italian club to win this trophy. You can relive their 2010 win below (and there’s a special treat within for modern-day fans of PGMOL). This is the Nerazzurri’s seventh European Cup final; their hit-rate so far is 50-50, so no clues.

1963-64: Inter 3-1 Real Madrid
1964-65: Inter 1-0 Benfica
1966-67: Celtic 2-1 Inter
1971-72: Ajax 2-0 Inter
2009-10: Inter 2-0 Bayern Munich
2022-23: Manchester City 1-0 Inter

This is PSG’s second European Cup final. They’re one of five French clubs to make it this far, along with Reims (1956, 1959), St-Étienne (1976), Marseille (1991, 1993) and Monaco (2004). They’ve already got one European title to their name: the 1995-96 Cup Winners’ Cup.

2019-20: Bayern Munich 1-0 PSG

This will be the fifth European Cup final to be played in Munich, and the historical precedents strongly favour PSG tonight. Every final in Munich has produced a first-time winner. One of those was the only previous occasion clubs from France and Italy have met in a final … and that game was the only time a team from France has won the trophy. If Inter are to win tonight, they’ll need to do some serious trend-bucking here.

1978-79: Nottingham Forest 1-0 Malmö
1992-93: Marseille 1-0 AC Milan
1996-97: Borussia Dortmund 3-1 Juventus
2011-12: Chelsea 1-1 Bayern Munich (aet; 4-3 pens)
