Luis Enrique dedicates PSG’s record 5-0 Champions League win to late daughter Xana

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) achieved a historic milestone by winning their first UEFA Champions League title with a record-breaking 5-0 victory over Inter Milan at Munich's Allianz Arena on May 31, 2025.

The emphatic win marked the largest margin of victory in a Champions League final since the competition began in 1956, with PSG's young squad, led by coach Luis Enrique, dominating the match.

"We have made history, we have written our names in the history of this club," said right-back Achraf Hakimi, who opened the scoring early.

Teenager Desire Doue was the standout player, scoring twice and assisting the opening goal, inspiring PSG's relentless attack.

"A dream has become reality," Doue said after the match.

Luis Enrique, who previously won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2015, dedicated the victory to his late daughter Xana, who passed away in 2019 from osteosarcoma. Fans honored this with a banner depicting father and daughter planting a PSG flag, echoing a similar moment from Enrique's Barcelona days.

This triumph also secured PSG's first treble, having already won Ligue 1 and the French Cup this season.

The victory is a culmination of years of investment and rebuilding since Qatar Sports Investments took over in 2011, transforming PSG into a European powerhouse.

"It's beautiful that the supporters thought about me and my family," Enrique said emotionally.

PSG's youthful squad, averaging 24 years, outclassed a more experienced Inter Milan side, who were seeking their fourth Champions League title.

This win not only ends PSG's long wait for European glory but also cements Luis Enrique's legacy as one of football's elite coaches, becoming the seventh to win the Champions League with two different clubs.

The final was held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, with PSG's victory celebrated by fans worldwide despite some unrest in Paris following the match.

PSG's historic success signals a new era for the club and French football, joining Marseille as only the second French team to lift the European trophy.

Paris Saint-Germain secured their first-ever UEFA Champions League title with a record 5-0 win over Inter Milan in Munich. Coach Luis Enrique dedicated the victory to his late daughter Xana, while 19-year-old Desire Doue starred with two goals and an assist in the historic final.
