Paris Saint-Germain made history on Saturday, finally capturing their first-ever UEFA Champions League title with a stunning 5-0 win over Inter Milan in Munich — the largest margin of victory ever in a Champions League final. For over a decade, PSG’s Qatari owners invested heavily in star players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, and even Lionel Messi.

That changed in 2025 with a bold shift in strategy: Luis Enrique took charge of a young, hungry squad focused on teamwork and intensity rather than individual fame. PSG’s dominance was clear from the…
