Champions League final | PSG celebrating

The French champions produced a dominant display to dismantle Inter Milan in what will be remembered as one of the most one-sided finals in the competition's history.

Achraf Hakimi opened the scoring after just 12 minutes, setting the tone for a ruthless performance from the French champions.

Desire Doue doubled the advantage with a powerful finish at the near post, before completing his brace shortly after the hour mark with a clinical counter-attacking move.

Luis Enrique’s side were relentless, harrying Inter into submission. Their fourth came when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia calmly slotted past Yann Sommer after a well-timed run.

Luis Enrique is now the sixth coach to win this tournament with two different clubs, having previously triumphed with Barcelona in 2015. He was watching his thrilling team dismantle Inter.

Towards the end of the night, there was still time for teenage substitute Senny Mayulu to cap the evening, latching onto a pass from Bradley Barcola before firing home emphatically.

How PSG were finally crowned Kings of Europe

Their campaign gathered momentum as the tournament progressed, brushing aside some of the Premier League’s best. Manchester City were first to fall, followed by Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal in the knockout rounds.

In the final, they produced one of the most memorable displays in Champions League history, with Luis Enrique’s outstanding side delivering a performance worthy of champions. They proved themselves the strongest team in the competition, and they underlined that status in emphatic style.

The best reaction

Liam C watched the match as a neutral and said: "PSG completely dominated Inter Milan with a superb performance. They were absolutely unstoppable, brilliant in every department. What’s even more impressive is that they are still a very young team. They played with such maturity and confidence."

Olivia T watched the match in a bar in Paris and, whilst soaking up the atmosphere in a bar, added: "It’s the finest performance I can recall in a Champions League final. This was an emphatic victory from PSG, a sensational performance. Inter were never able to find the spark to turn it into a real contest."

Lewis W also spoke in glowing terms about the winning side's performance, saying: "For PSG, it’s been a long road to this point. So many near misses in previous campaigns and seventeen games in Europe this season have led to this moment. They lift the trophy as fully deserving champions. Few would argue they weren’t the standout team in Europe during the latter part of the campaign."

England 1 - 3 Senegal We try to pull together some measured reaction and reporting after England lose in Nottingham. It's only a post season friendly that nobody will remember in three months.  Author | Kieran M Stadium | The City Ground England fell to their first defeat under Thomas Tuchel as Senegal claimed a thoroughly deserved win in a low-key friendly at the City Ground. It wasn't a good performance from Tuchel’s team, who were outplayed by confident and composed opponents. Senegal became the first African nation to beat England’s men, and did so with an assured display.  For Tuchel though, it did give him an opportunity to see a different group of players together. He would have learned a lot from this. A closer look at what happened The evening had started brightly for the hosts, who took the lead in the seventh minute when Harry Kane reacted quickest after Edouard Mendy spilled Anthony Gordon’s low effort. It was Kane’s 73rd goal for England. This would be the...

Czech Republic 1 - 3 England Harvey Elliott set England Under-21s on course for a winning start as the reigning champions opened their European Championship defence with a composed victory over the Czech Republic in Slovakia. Author | George B Stadium | MOL Aréna Despite a string of withdrawals in the lead-up to the tournament, head coach Lee Carsley named an adventurous line-up for the Young Lions’ opener. England broke the deadlock six minutes before half-time. Tino Livramento, a lively presence down the left, saw his cross deflected into the box where captain James McAtee laid it off for Elliott, who finished with a crisp low drive. Livramento was central again for the second, gliding past his marker before delivering a low ball that brushed Jonathan Rowe en route to beating goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek. The Czechs responded swiftly through Daniel Fila, who nodded in Vaclav Sejk’s chipped cross just moments later. But England reasserted control and sealed the result 14 minutes from...
