Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has finally etched its name in European football history, securing its first-ever UEFA Champions League title with a commanding 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in Munich. The triumph sent waves of euphoria across Paris, culminating in a grand reception that showcased the club’s monumental achievement.
A Hero’s Welcome in Paris
The PSG squad touched down at Roissy Airport on Sunday afternoon, greeted by thousands of ecstatic supporters. From there, the team embarked on a triumphal parade through the Champs-Élysées, where an estimated 110,000 fans lined the streets, waving flags and setting off flares in celebration.

Presidential Recognition at the Élysée Palace
Following the parade, the team was welcomed at the Élysée Palace by French President Emmanuel Macron, who praised their achievement and the impact it had on the nation. Macron, an Olympique de Marseille supporter, acknowledged PSG’s historic feat, stating:
“You are the champions, and you have put Paris at the top of Europe. The entire French public, regardless of traditional allegiances, was behind you.”

A Night of Festivities at Parc des Princes
The celebrations continued at Parc des Princes, PSG’s home ground, where 40,000 fans gathered for the official trophy presentation. Each player was introduced individually, receiving standing ovations as they stepped onto the pitch. Club captain Marquinhos, who has been with PSG since 2013, was visibly emotional as he held the trophy alongside club president Nasser al-Khelaifi, declaring:
“After all these years, I can cry now—this is the day of glory! We love you. Enjoy it! We are European champions!”
A New Era for PSG
PSG’s victory marks a shift in the club’s strategy. Moving away from signing global superstars like Neymar, Lionel Messi, and Kylian Mbappé, the club has focused on nurturing young French talent, such as 19-year-old Désiré Doué, who scored twice in the final. This approach has paid off, with PSG now setting its sights on sustained European dominance.
Looking Ahead
With their long-awaited Champions League triumph secured, PSG’s leadership is already planning for the future. Al-Khelaifi emphasized the club’s ambition:
“The objective now is to win again. It has taken 14 years of hard work, but we are building something for the future.”
As Paris basks in the glory of its new European champions, the city and its football faithful eagerly anticipate what lies ahead for PSG.
