No Messi, no Neymar, no Mbappé – but finally the long -awaited Henkelpott: Paris Saint -Germain celebrates.
Munich (sid) Luis Enrique danced completely detached with naked upper body over the lawn, super-teen Desiré Doué ran with his coach to the fiery shining fan curve. The cheers of the Paris Champions League heroes after the final whistle was in no way inferior to the historic football vertebral storm in the clearest final.
Without any superstars, but with irresistible attack football, Paris Saint-Germain has successfully hunted the “Holy Grail” in the living room of FC Bayern Munich. And how! The intoxicating 5: 0 (2: 0) final triumph about the helpless Bayern-Schreck Inter Milan was one for eternity. For the first time, the Henkelpott hikes to the Eiffel Tower – the symbol of the French capital shone in the club colors blue and red. “Paris is magical!”, Le Figaro cheered.
Former Dortmund Achraf Hakimi (12th), the only 19 -year -old dribbel king Doué (20th/63rd), Chwitscha Kwarazchelia (73.) and Senny Mayulu (86th) PSG brought a winning bonus of 6.5 million euros, overall the already stinked club was borrowing 150 million. Captain Marquinhos was allowed to put the priceless “pot with the big ears” at 11:07 p.m. in the night sky – after the clearest final victory in history in the most important European Cup (previously Real Madrid 1960 against Eintracht Frankfurt 7: 3).
“I lack the words. This is a dream that becomes true for me,” said Doué with damp eyes. “I want to thank all of my teammates, that was incredible. And it was just the beginning.”
While the three-time winner Inter, with the one and injured national player Yann Bisseck, mourned the fourth final defeat, Paris, which was rounded with hungry talents, sold the evil spirits of his only final participation: In 2020, FC Bayern in Lisbon was too good for Thomas Tuchels team (0-1).
Inter Milan hopelessly overwhelmed
In addition to upscale sports prominence and Hollywood star Tom Cruise, Bayern representatives had also made it to the final, including Alphonso Davies, who immediately complained: “We should be.” Even if the dream of “title Dahoam” had already burst in the quarter-finals against Inter (1: 2/2: 2), the city had dressed up for its fifth champions League final. The official fan festival rose in the Olympic Park for 23,000 supporters, in the Allianz Arena 64,500 spectators celebrated a large football party with a guest performance by Linkin Park’s US rocker.
Paris had it crash on the square – according to Enrique’s resolution. “We want to have fun and enjoy the incredible atmosphere,” said the coach and emphasized: “We have the mentality.” His eleven laced the opponent with her aggressive pressing style on the sixteen, Milan tried in vain to keep it with Italian defense and chain of five.
A sugar pass from the brilliant playmaker Vitinha, on Wednesday in the same place with Portugal German semi-final opponent in the final Four of the Nations League, tore the defense network in pieces. The played Doué put on, Hakimi just had to insert. Because of his past at Inter, the scorer apologetically raised his hands instead of cheering.
This was done by the PSG fans, also in Paris: at the French Open, the scream of screings burst into the middle of a rallies at the match from Novak Djokovic. In the Prinzenpark, 500 m away, 38,000 celebrated at home. In Munich in the north curve, the Ultra’s joy fire ignited, their favorites continued seamlessly the motto of the choreo (“Together we are unbeatable”).
Ousmane Dembélé lifted the inter-defense with a remarkable shift, Federico Dimarco falsified Doué’s shot unsustainable for the former Munich goalkeeper Yann Sommer. Already after the 2-0 there was little doubt: after Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal would have to be surrendered.
Anyone who expected a Milan Sturm run in the second half was deceived. Nothing seemed left of the wild vehemence that had even succumbed to FC Barcelona. If Inter broke through, Marquinhos and the others brave themselves bravely. This PSG can also fight – still a big difference to the era of the superstars failed there. Doué put the lid on again after a fine pass from Vitinha, Kwarazchelia and Mayulu added as in the frenzy.
