Champions League Final

Paris Saint-Germain (2) 5 Hakimi 12, Doue 20, 63, Kvaratskhelia 73, Mayulu 87

Inter (0) 0

Breathtaking. And utterly dazzling.

Be afraid Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs. Be very afraid.

The biggest winning margin in a Chsmpions League final with the third youngest team to contest it.

These are no callow youths though. Insouciant youths maybe, but not helplessly raw ones. The 19-year old Desire Doue played with the maturity of a veteran - laying on the first goal and helping himself to two more.

Social media was awash with claims that Barcelona would have made this a better final. But this PSG is so bewildering good that it seems doubtful.

Theirs is a very modern football that gives them every right to be held up to the standards of the Barcelona team that won the trophy at Wembley so majestically under Pep Guardiola in 2011.

Their intricate, accurate, high speed passing and lung bursting sprints towards the opposition penalty area proved way too much for Simone Inzaghi's Serie A runners up.

This may have been their first ever win in this competition, but Luis Enrique has the means to make it so much more now.

Of course Doue deserved to be made man of the match - taking him off when he was on a hat-trick was the only false note on a glorious night, maybe - but the performances of several team mates were off the scale fabulous.

Vitinha ran the midfield in the manner of Xavi or Iniesta in days gone by. Ousmane Dembele tormented the Italians throughout.

And Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, bursting clear before tucking past Yann Sommer for goal number four, was astonishing. At the death, he was still tracking back to hound Inter players trying to fashion a rare attack. He epitomised the relentlessness of this team.

He has helped the dominant Parisians to a treble, having started the season with a Napoli side that has gone on to secure a league title medal for him in Italy.

The game hardly needed a fifth goal to underline just how one-sided the game had been but got one anyway.

Young sub Senny Mayulu had barely got onto the pitch before belting home from close range after more composed passing inside the area by the boys with fire and ice in the veins at the same time. His unbridled joy was one of the highlights of an evening full of them. He could hardly believe it.

It seems rough on everyone fighting for this trophy next year that having seen Real Madrid exposed as fallible, another major outfit has seemingly arrived to take up the mantle.

Arsenal are already all-too aware of the threat they pose. They did well to hang in there but eventually fell to them in a semi-final the French largely dominated. Liverpool, Aston Villa and Man City all perished against them.

The challenge for the three London clubs involved in next year's edition will be huge. And they know there is a great team standing in the way of their ambitions.

PSG have Qatari money, but much more than that now. They have a team and an identity. The trophy wives Mbappe, Neymar and Messi have all been and gone without delivering the golden prize. This lot surely have it in them to rack up more than one.

When a player as gifted as Bradley Barcola can't even get a starting place, you know there is a seriously good squad at play. He almost scored after coming on late on, slaloming through a tired Inter defence. At times, it was almost cruel.

PSG: (4-3-3) Donnarumma - Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes (Hernandez 78) - Neves (Zaire-Emery 84), Vitinha, Ruiz (Mayulu 84) - Doue (Barcola 66), Dembele, Kvaratskhelia (Ramos 84)

Inter: (3-5-2) Sommer- Pavard (Bisseck 54) Darmian (62), Acerbi, Bastoni - Dumfries, Barella, Calhanoglou (Asslani 70), Mhkitaryan (Augusto 62), Dimarco (Zalewski 54) - Thuram, Lautaro Martinez
