"Devastating... absolutely astonishing," Australian football great Mark Bosnich said on Stan Sport.

"It could have been 10," added ex-Socceroos captain Craig Foster.

It was Luis Enrique's second Champions League win as a manager, having already done hoisted the prized trophy with Barcelona in 2015.

"I've watched a lot of finals and I've never seen anything like that," Stan expert Mark Pougatch said from Germany.

"They absolutely humilated them."

The scary thing is that PSG may well get better from here.

Pougatch noted that Doue is viewed in France as a better player than Kylian Mbappe was at 19.

Megastar Mbappe left PSG for Real Madrid in the off-season but Enrique has created a cohesive monster.

At long last the club that was transformed by Qatari billions and bought and sold a succession of the world's greatest players in an extravagant bid to get to the top has its hands on the big one.

The trophy that not even Lionel Messi, Neymar or Mbappe could deliver to the French club was finally claimed by Enrique, the Spanish manager who has overseen PSG's shift from the era of 'Galactico' signings to one of genuine team building.

Fitting then that Doue, emblematic of the club's new generation, was the chief inspiration on a balmy night.

He became the third teenager to score in a Champions League final, following Patrick Kluivert and Carlos Alberto.

Doue scored twice and set up another goal in little over an hour on the field before being substituted in the second half.

Hakimi, Kvaratskhelia and Mayulu, the fourth teenager to ever score in a final, added to Doue's double.

Now PSG can truly sit alongside the royalty of Europe.

Not by virtue of turnover or merchandising, but on the merits of their achievements on the field.

The Champions League is the ultimate barometer of the continent's elite clubs and up until now PSG has been a flashy contender that always came up short.

That all changed as thousands of PSG supporters were there to revel in the moment, waving flags, lighting flares and drowning out their rivals from Inter, many of whose supporters left the stadium long before the final whistle.

A tough night out. Stan

PSG captain Marquinhos held the trophy aloft in front of teammates, with fireworks and golden confetti exploding behind them.

Celebrations, however, threatened to get out of hand as what looked like thousands of PSG fans had to be stopped from rushing the field by a line of police.

PSG truly delivered when it mattered after so many setbacks in this competition.

If there were any nerves from Enrique's players it did not show as they dominated Inter from the start.

It took just 12 minutes for the French champion to go ahead with a move of speed and precision when Vitinha's threaded pass into the box found the feet of Doue.

The forward could have shot, but instead slid in Hakimi to tap into an open net.

Former Inter player Hakimi's celebrations were muted but PSG's fans erupted.

Eight minutes later and the lead was doubled - though this time it relied more on luck than precision as Doue's shot from the right of the box deflected off Federico Dimarco and past Inter goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

He got his second in the 63rd minute, sliding the ball into the bottom corner when through on goal.

Kvaratskhelia added a fourth 10 minutes later and Mayulu then found the back of the net in the 86th, just two minutes after coming on to add his name to the list of teenage scorers in a final.

Enrique has become the seventh manager to win the competition with two different teams and follows in the footsteps of greats like Carlo Ancelotti, Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho.

For PSG, this moment has been 14 years in the making since they were bought by Qatar Sports Investments in 2011 and, awash with newfound riches, started targeting marquee signings to speed up their route to the top.

In came superstars Zlatan Ibrahimovic, David Beckham and Edinson Cavani.

The ante was further upped with the arrivals of Neymar for a world record $410 million, Mbappe and finally Messi, allowing PSG to field possibly the richest array of forwards ever assembled, but still no Champions League trophy to show for it.

It was the departure of that last stellar trio over the past two years that appears to have been the turning point, with a greater focus on the team rather than a collection of stars.

Not that PSG's transformation hasn't come at a cost.

It may make for a nice narrative that PSG has eschewed the big spending approach of before to organically assemble a team to beat all-comers from across Europe.

The opposite is true.

While it may be without the marquee players of the past, this is still one of the most expensive squads in world football.

The win will also raise more questions about nation state involvement in soccer and so-called 'sports washing,' given Qatar's lavish backing of PSG in enabling it to conquer Europe.

Their victory comes just two years after Abu Dhabi-backed Manchester City won the trophy, again against Inter.
