We are very disappointed," said Inter coach Simone Inzaghi."As a coach I am proud of our campaign, but we're not satisfied with tonight's game.

PSG outplayed us. I thanked the players for what they did this season. We won no silverware, but I'm proud."

Dembele and Vitinha combined to set up Doue for his second goal past goalkeeper Yann Sommer.Kvaratskhelia added the fourth goal in the 73rd minute after being released by Dembele.Nineteen-year-old Mayulu completed the scoring in the 86th minute, exchanging passes with Bradley Barcola before finding the net.The five-goal victory marked the first time a team had scored that many in a European Cup final since Benfica in 1962, cementing PSG's place in football history.
