It is perhaps too early to call this an era-shaping event in the way Real Madrid's 7-3 victory in 1960 or AC Milan's 4-0 victory over Barcelona in 1994 created. But no team has ever won this title with a difference of 5 goals.
This was an extraordinary way for Paris St Germain to win the Champions League for the first time in history. It should have marked the end of a journey, but for Luis Enrique's youth team, the 5-0 win over Inter Milan was like the start of something.
Inter were so humiliated that they wanted the final whistle to ring as soon as the third goal was scored. This is certainly one of the greatest goals in the history of the Champions League final, created by Desire Doue.
Simone Inzaghi's team with an average age of 29 could not keep up with PSG's youth. This was Doue's night, Ousmane Dembele's season, and the pair kept switching positions, leaving Inter out of date. It feels like football is coming from the future and with an average age of 23, perhaps that is the future of PSG.
Every position in the PSG squad has new stars, new stories. Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes are already the best full-backs to date, although even that description is unfair to them. Because they tend to appear anywhere on the pitch.
Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz dominate the midfield with creativity and calmness. Joao Neves took on the invisible job when putting pressure on the opponent.
For Gianluigi Donnarumma, PSG have the best goalkeeper in the league, while captain Marquinhos has also reached the peak of his 11-year journey with the club.
Willian Pacho is a smart signing that PSG were once accused of making mistakes. The appearance of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in the winter transfer window is the final piece in this perfect picture.
The fifth goal against Inter was scored by a teenager born in the suburbs of Paris, an academy product, almost too perfect. Senny Mayulu himself also seemed shocked, the celebration showed that even in his dreams he would never think about this.
PSG, with its development marked by superstar contracts, finally has a story to tell that everyone wants to see and hear. The concept of football as a team sport is mentioned once again.
Speaking to Sky Sports, French World Cup champion Robert Pires talked about PSG's change. "Luis Enrique built a team, not a name, not a marketing job. They changed their ways and that's what brought them here. Football is not about fame".
In 2022, PSG will have to watch Real Madrid and Liverpool, the big guys in Europe, compete in the final in Paris. The present is a reversal of roles, bringing the party to Munich, Bayern's home ground. They also beat Inter, who were European champions before PSG were founded.
"I am very happy. It was touching to end with a fan banner for my family. I always think about my daughter. That is very meaningful. It's great, but I don't need to win the Champions League to remember my daughter.
My daughter is always by our side, especially when we lose. With my family, I enjoy everything and try to achieve positives, even in the worst moments" - the PSG captain said.
