The first contact set the final

Paris Saint-Germain did not wait for Inter to build confidence. The first pressing jumps arrived early, and each forced back pass made the next one feel safer to attempt.

Youth gave the attack a lighter rhythm

Desire Doue became the symbol of the night because his actions were both quick and calm. He attacked space with directness, but rarely treated the ball as something to get rid of immediately.

Inter ran out of clean exits

The Italian side could still find wide areas, but the next pass was usually under pressure. PSG were strongest not when they tackled, but when they made every exit look like a compromise.

A final that rewrote the club story

The 5-0 scoreline will live as a headline, yet the deeper story was control. PSG looked like a team that had accepted the work required before the luxury football could appear.
