Form guide

Paris Saint-Germain

Paris claimed their first European Cup with a 5-0 win against Inter Milan at the Munich Football Arena on 31 May – the biggest win in final history.

The Parisiens were the 24th side to win the European Cup and a new name on the trophy for the second time in three seasons, after Manchester City beat Inter in 2023.

Only one French side had previously won the trophy, Marseille beating AC Milan in 1993. Reims (1956, 1959), St-Étienne (1976), Marseille (1991), Monaco (2004) and Paris themselves (2020) were all losing finalists.

Désiré Doué scored twice and substitute Senny Mayulu once – both aged 19, they were just the third and fourth teenagers to find the net in the Champions League final.

Doué, who was named Player of the Match, was the first to score twice in a final since Gareth Bale for Real Madrid against Liverpool in 2018, and the eighth to do so in the Champions League era.

Achraf Hakimi, who opened the scoring, was the first Moroccan to score in a European Cup final.

Hakimi and Willian Pacho were the first players from Morocco and Ecuador respectively to appear in a European Cup final victory.

Having also claimed Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France, Paris became the ninth different European side to win the treble and the first French club.

Ousmane Dembélé was named Champions League Player of the Season after eight goals and six assists; Doué, who scored five and provided five assists, took the young player award.

A Champions League winner as Barcelona coach in 2014/15, Enrique was only the tenth coach to reach the European Cup final with different clubs and just the seventh to life the trophy with multiple teams, after Ernst Happel, Ottmar Hitzfeld, José Mourinho, Jupp Heynckes, Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola.

Enrique was also only the second coach to win two trebles with a European club following his 2014/15 success with Barcelona, along with Pep Guardiola.

Fifteenth in last season's league phase, Paris were 10-0 aggregate winners against fellow French side Brest in the knockout phase play-offs (3-0 a, 7-0 h) before beating three successive English clubs – Liverpool in the round of 16 (0-1 h, 1-0 a aet, 4-1 pens), Aston Villa in the quarter-finals (3-1 h, 2-3 a) and Arsenal in the semi-finals (1-0 a, 2-1 h).

The Parisians have won 25 of their last 49 European matches (D8 L16), including ten of the last 12 (L2).

3-4 vs Rangers, 2001/02 UEFA Cup third round
4-1 vs Liverpool, 2024/25 Champions League round of 16

Brennan Johnson scored the only goal in the 42nd minute, securing Spurs' first trophy since 2008.

Spurs replaced Postecoglou with Thomas Frank in June.
