Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique led the club to a historic 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final, securing PSG's first-ever UCL title and completing a treble after winning the French Cup and Ligue 1.

The win marked Enrique's second managerial treble, having previously achieved the feat with Barcelona in the 2014-15 season. He also became only the second manager to win the treble twice, joining Pep Guardiola.

Enrique's leadership transformed PSG from "star-studded chaos to a disciplined powerhouse," enforcing a strict "no passengers" rule where every player pressed and defended.

The final was an emotional moment for Enrique, who honored his late daughter Xana, who died of bone cancer at age nine in 2019. He wore a black t-shirt featuring a graphic of him and Xana planting the Barcelona flag.

PSG captain Marquinhos lifted the Champions League trophy, becoming the first PSG captain to do so after 12 seasons at the club.

Key players like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who scored the fourth goal and became the first Georgian to score in a Champions League final, and young talents Desire Doue and Warren Zaire-Emery flourished under Enrique's guidance.

Quotes and stats:
"No more stars above the badge. No exceptions, no shortcuts. And he meant it." — on Enrique's disciplined approach.
"It is the second managerial treble of his career, having won the league, Cup and Champions League with Barcelona in 2015."

This victory cements Luis Enrique's legacy as a transformative figure in PSG's history and European football.
