Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) won the Champions League for the first time by thrashing Italian side Inter 5-0 on Saturday.
It's the most one-sided final in the tournament's history, eclipsing Inter's city rivals AC Milan's 4-0 win over Barcelona in 1994.
PSG gave their opponents no chance from the start of the match in Munich, Germany.
The 19-year-old French forward Desire Doue scored twice for PSG and set up the opening goal for Achraf Hakimi in the stadium usually used by Bayern Munich before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia made it four and substitute Senny Mayulu completed the scoring.
"I can't find the words. This is my biggest dream," Doue said. "We have written history."
Portuguese midfielder Vitinha, who was one of PSG's creative sparks, said: "This means everything. It's my dream, it's our dream. It's incredible. The result is not by magic. I'm happy we did it like this, we're now going to celebrate."
Qatari-owned PSG are just the second French club since Marseille in 1993 to win European football's top trophy.
The victory comes five years after they lost to Bayern Munich in their only previous final appearance.
