Munich memories: how PSG’s 2025 Champions League triumph was lived | OneFootball

As Paris Saint-Germain return to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday at 21:00 for a Champions League semi-final second leg with Bayern, those present recall Munich 2025. According to L'Équipe, former players, executives, commentators and supporters were among some 64,000 in the ground. PSG beat Inter 5-0 on 31 May 2025 to claim their first title.

Paris led 2-0 at half-time, Kvara’s burst paved the way for the fourth, and by the 88th minute Marquinhos was fighting back tears, a defining image.

Alain Roche cherished sharing it with his children after a lively fan zone set by Guillaume Hoarau. Commentator Paul Tchoukriel felt his voice waver late on, briefly yielding to Sidney Govou before steadying.

Businessman Jean-Claude Darmon feared missing kick-off amid flight delays, then left quickly after full time because of airport curfews. Season-ticket holder Sylvie skipped a friend’s wedding, was upgraded by a contact close to Nasser al-Khelaïfi, and enjoyed the players’ joy up close.

On M6 duty, Antoine Kombouaré spoke from the heart, delighting in the pressing of Dembélé, Kvara and Doué. UEFA ambassador Robert Pirès had forecast 2-0 and praised the sustained level, noting Nasser al-Khelaïfi’s calm before kick-off, but decided not to tease Javier Zanetti or Marco Materazzi.
