    PSG won their first UEFA Champions League title 5-0 to be the first ever final margin after 32 years of French team.

    Since 1993, the France team has never been close to adding another Champions League title:
    Although in 2004, AS Monaco reached the final but were defeated 3-0 by José Mourinho’s Porto.
    In 2020, PSG made it to the final for the first time in club history but lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich, with the lone goal scored by Kingsley Coman, a product of PSG’s own academy.
    But this year PSG had a wonderful win with 5-0 after 32 years as a French team.
    While Olympique de Marseille remains the only first French club to have won the UEFA Champions League. They achieved this history on May 26, 1993, by defeating AC Milan 1-0 in the final held at the Olympiastadion in Munich.

    This year’s win was recorded worsted win at 5-0, not just goals, but PSG dominated from start to finish, scoring in the 12th, 20th, 63rd, 73rd and 86th minutes of the game, although we have such a winning margin as

    AC Milan 4-0 Barcelona (1993/94)
    Johan Cruyff’s Dream Team were an absolutely delightful side to watch, but they were ruthlessly swept aside by Fabio Capello’s AC Milan in 1994.

    The Rossoneri, who were missing several key players, entered the match as underdogs but went into halftime two goals up thanks to a brace from Daniele Massaro.

    Dejan Savićević added a third quickly after the break, before Marcel Desailly sealed the win with a curled finish in the 58th minute. Until this season, it was the only Champions League final decided by a four-goal margin.

    Real Madrid 4-1 Juventus (2016/17)
    Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid secured their 12th crown in comfortable fashion at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, becoming the first team to retain the title since the competition rebranded in 1992.

    Cristiano Ronaldo’s opener was canceled out by Juventus striker Mario Mandžukić, but Casemiro put Los Banos back in front on the hour mark. Ronaldo struck again minutes later before Marco Asensio put the cherry on top of a dominant performance with a 90th-minute goal.

    Arsenal remain the only team Real Madrid have never beaten in the history of
    The European Cup after a 2-1 win over Real Madrid 1-2 and that makes Arsenal reach the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in 15 years.

    Arsenal remain unbeaten in three competitive matches against Real Madrid, and are the only side to have faced them three times in major European competition without conceding a single goal.

    Arsenal’s previous visit to Madrid’s famous home came during our run to the 2005/06 Champions League final at the last-16 stage, as one of Thierry Henry’s greatest ever goals saw Arsenal become the first English team to triumph in the Bernabeu.

    Arsenal have won each of our last four encounters with Spanish opposition in Europe, and each of their last two in the country – their success against Sevilla last season as well as the win in Girona back in January. Those are two of five we’ve obtained in Spain from 19 games.

    Arsenal’s record vs Real Madrid in the Champions League:

    ✅ 0-1
    🤝 0-0
    ✅ 3-0
    ✅ 1-2
