🤯 Five-goal thriller, Doué and Enrique hat-tricks: record final | OneFootball

It was a historic Champions League final, starting with the astonishing result of 5-0: never before had such a wide margin been recorded in a single match final of a European competition.

However, it's not the only record shattered on the crazy night in Munich. Here are a series of records broken by PSG-Inter.

The night of Désiré Doué

The main protagonist of the final was undoubtedly Désiré Doué, who took home the title of Man of the Match.

A historic performance at just 19 years and 362 days: never before had a player so young scored and provided an assist in a Champions League final.

He is also the youngest player in the exclusive club of champions capable of scoring a brace in a Champions League final: nine in total, including him, the youngest of whom at the time was Gareth Bale, the only one, before last night, not yet 30 years old (28 years and 314 days).

There are only 14 players who have scored at least 2 goals in Champions League finals since the trophy was named this: twelve have scored two, only Bale (3) and Cristiano Ronaldo (4) have done better than Doué and his teammates.

And, apart from his very young age, Doué boasts an absolute record on his own: no player had ever participated (scoring or serving the assist) in three goals in a Champions League final.

Lucho, a triumph all his own

Perhaps though, even more than Doué, the real MVP of last night was Luis Enrique, capable of transforming an incomplete team of champions into a winning one with a young, but more cohesive lineup. So much so that in Munich, PSG took to the field with the youngest starting eleven in a Champions League final of the 21st century.

That Luis Enrique was one of the best coaches around, we already knew, but the Asturian is one of only two coaches to have won a Treble with two different teams. The only other to have succeeded? Just him, Pep Guardiola.

Lucho in fact won the three trophies at the helm of Barça in 2014-2015, when he coached the infamous MSN (Messi-Suárez-Neymar).

The PSG coach also enters a small circle of coaches capable of leading two different clubs to victory in the Champions. Along with him Ancelotti, Heynckes, Hitzfeld, Klopp, Mourinho, Guardiola and Tuchel.

The negative records of Inter

If the positive records of PSG shine and enchant, then we must move on to the page of negative records recorded by Inter. Who against the very young PSG took to the field with one of the starting lineups with the highest average age in history, recording the largest gap ever seen on the field in a Champions League final.

30 years and 242 days: this is the third starting lineup with the highest average age in a Champions Cup or Champions League final. A ranking that, curiously, sees the top 5 composed of the last 5 Italian teams to reach the coveted final.

On the field, as we have seen, it did not go well at all. Game directed in just 20 minutes, and never before had a team conceded two goals so quickly in the final.

Only Chelsea had conceded so many shots during the first half of a Champions League final, in 2012 against Bayern (a final that, ironically, the Londoners won).

Finally, a particular record: both Champions League finals lost by Inter since the trophy was named this were lost against two teams that had never lifted the cup with big ears before.

Manchester City and PSG, two teams united, until then, by a policy of crazy spending and the inability to bring home the most important trophy.
