Allianz Arena, Munich. May 31, 2025. The Champions League Final. PSG against Inter Milan, Serie A's best defense. Luis Enrique's system is crystal clear: no fixed center-forward, constant rotations, a press that suffocates every opposition build-up.

Doué, 19 years old: two goals and one assist. Three direct goal contributions in a Champions League final, never seen before. Player of the Match. Champions League Young Player of the Season, ahead of Lamine Yamal. Kvaratskhelia, who arrived just five months earlier from Napoli, drives home the fourth. And Senny Mayulu, a Parisian academy graduate, comes on in the 84th minute and scores 120 seconds later. The largest margin of victory in Champions League final history.
It absolutely didn't feel like my Inter out there. The players are the first to know it.

Article after UCL final PSG 5-0 Inter Milan
The big day has finally arrived. The victory, and with style, of an entire club. Congratulations PSG.

And Marquinhos. Twelve years. He arrived at 19, when the Qatari project was barely off the ground. He lived through La Remontada. He wept after the 2020 final. He endured Benzema's hat trick. He watched the superstars come and go, one by one. Tonight, he is crying before the final whistle even blows. When he lifts the trophy, it is not just for him. It is for everyone who passed through this club without ever touching it.
I gave everything. I suffered a lot. This is for Thiago, for Neymar, for Lucas, for Maxwell. Great players who deserved to win this title.

Luis Enrique has built a team, not names, not marketing. They changed their way and that is what brought them here.
