June 1, 2025 will remain engraved in the annals of European football. Paris Saint-Germain has finally won over the long-awaited title in UEFA Champions League, crushing Inter Milan 5-0 in a spectacular final at the Wembley stadium. This resounding success not only marks a historic turning point for the Parisian club, but it also arouses behind -the -scenes, especially around the declarations of Luis Enrique and the reaction of Kylian Mbappé.
From the first minutes, the match took a one -way turn. From the 12th minute, Desire Goué, an emerging prodigy of PSG, delivered a millimeter pass to Hakimi, who left no chance to the opposing goalkeeper Sommer. The 1-0 launched the Parisian machine, and the rest of the meeting only confirmed the overwhelming domination of the French.
Shortly before half an hour of play, Doué again made his talent speak by scoring a deviated goal, plunging Inter Milan into total confusion. Despite some sporadic attempts at revolt, the Italians have never really worried PSG. The collective performance, supported by the efforts of key players like Dembele, Vitinha, Kvaratskhelia and the young Mayulu, sealed the fate of this final from the first period.
Beyond the technical and tactical demonstration, this triumph is the culmination of a project to reconstruct PSG, based on a collective more than on individual stars. It is in this context that tensions between French football players have an additional dimension.
A few hours after the final whistle, Kylian Mbappé, now Real Madrid player, published on his social networks a photo celebrating the victory of his former club. A attention that immediately sparked a wave of reactions, especially in Luis Enrique, PSG coach. During a press conference, the latter answered a question about this message with an enigmatic smile before letting go of seven words that ignited the media: “It is not the one who speaks. »»
This sentence, both sibylline and scathing, has been widely commented. For some, she reflects a clear message sent to Mbappé, recalling that despite her praise, PSG holds the European crown. Others see it as a subtle picnus, illustrating the growing rivalry between the Parisian club and its former player who has become an opponent.
The drama does not stop there. PSG supporters quickly emerged from the past quotes of Mbappé, in particular those where he evoked his ambitions and his contradictory feelings towards the club and his former teammate. Some fans no longer hesitate to ask “who is the real outsider?” Faced with this duel at a distance.
On the ground, the Parisian team has shown exemplary solidarity and determination. Desire gifted, with its two goals and a decisive pass, has established itself as the new rising star. Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu also made their contribution to this offensive festival. PSG has not only won, it has marked the spirits with its fluid game, its collective power and its tactical intelligence.
Inter Milan, despite his experience and his desperate attempts, had to resolve a scathing defeat, symbolizing the end of a cycle for this Italian club in this competition.
This European coronation is also a victory for coach Luis Enrique, who knew how to hand over the collective at the heart of the project, favoring cohesion and engagement on the ground. His ambiguous response to Mbappé illustrates this new philosophy well: speech belongs to the field, and the trophies to the teams who know how to transcend.
While Paris celebrates its first Champions League, the rivalry between Mbappé and its former club continues to fuel debates and controversies. French football, and more broadly European, attends a exciting new chapter where sport and human tensions mix with intensity.
PSG, with this historic triumph, seems ready to write a new era, while Mbappé and Luis Enrique continue to feed an intrigue that fascinates fans and the press.
