Paris Saint-Germain won their first Champions League title in style on Saturday with a dazzling 5-0 victory against Inter Milan full of world class moments. One highlight we loved was a fantastic Ousmane Dembélé backheel vs Inter that sprung the attack for PSG’s third goal.

In the 63rd minute the Frenchman was being closed down by two defenders and escaped the pressure with a perfect layoff to Vitinha. The clever move opened up the Inter defense and Vitinha slipped the ball through to Désiré Doué who finished coolly.
