June 1, 2025 – A Night to Remember for PSG
On a night that will go down in European football history, Paris Saint-Germain finally conquered the UEFA Champions League. With a stunning 5-0 victory over Inter Milan at Wembley, PSG didn’t just win the trophy—they delivered a performance that sent shockwaves across the continent.
But the biggest talking point came not from the field, but from the press room—sparked by a cold smile and a sharp seven-word response from Luis Enrique.
A Display of Pure Dominance
From the kickoff, PSG made their intentions clear. Young star Desire Doué, just 19, unlocked Inter’s defense with a brilliant assist to Achraf Hakimi, who scored confidently past Yann Sommer.
Before Inter could recover, Doué found the net himself, aided by a slight deflection. It was a night where everything clicked for PSG. Inter looked overwhelmed—outplayed in midfield and exposed at the back.
PSG’s relentless momentum continued. Ousmane Dembélé tormented defenders with his speed, Vitinha pressed relentlessly, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia dazzled with his dribbling. Add the youthful flair of Senny Mayulu, and PSG looked like a finely tuned machine, not just a collection of stars.
Mbappé’s Post and Enrique’s Cutting Reply
Soon after the final whistle, former PSG forward Kylian Mbappé, now with Real Madrid, posted a congratulatory photo on social media. While some saw it as a classy gesture, others thought it was an attempt to stay part of a narrative that had moved on without him.
At the post-match press conference, Luis Enrique was asked about Mbappé’s post. His response? A cold smile followed by seven piercing words:
“It’s not the one who speaks who wins.”
The remark sent the room into silence. It quickly went viral, interpreted by many as a subtle jab at Mbappé—a way of saying PSG had finally thrived without their former star.
A Shift in PSG’s Identity
To PSG fans, Enrique’s words were a moment of closure. Mbappé’s exit had been messy, marked by contract drama and speculation. But now, PSG had their crowning moment—without him.
Fans resurfaced old interviews where Mbappé had danced around his loyalty to PSG. The message was clear: Paris had moved on, and triumph had come not through individual brilliance, but collective strength.
Doué was named Man of the Match with two goals and an assist. Hakimi was relentless, Kvaratskhelia unstoppable, and Mayulu looked destined for stardom. Inter, meanwhile, looked outdated, their experienced core unable to handle PSG’s pace and aggression.
Enrique’s Vision Fulfilled
Critics had doubted Enrique earlier in the season when he moved away from PSG’s tradition of signing big names, instead prioritizing chemistry and structure. That philosophy paid off on Europe’s biggest stage.
Mbappé’s social media post may have been intended as a kind gesture, but Enrique’s words redefined the moment. The story wasn’t about the player who left—it was about the team that stayed and won.
The Beginning of a New Era
Paris celebrated in style. The Champs-Élysées was alive with singing fans, flag-waving, and dreams of a new dynasty. And in the background, Enrique’s words echoed—a symbol of PSG’s transformation.
Now, debates begin about what’s next. Will this be the final chapter in the PSG-Mbappé saga? Or is a new rivalry brewing between Paris and Madrid?
For now, one thing is clear: PSG have reached the top—and they did it their way.
