In a remarkable parallel to Paris Saint-Germain's recent UEFA Champions League triumph, Cruz Azul delivered an equally emphatic 5-0 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup final on June 1.

This dominant performance at Estadio Olímpico Universitario in Mexico City secured Cruz Azul's seventh continental title, equaling Club América's record.

Cruz Azul's offensive onslaught began early, with Ignacio Rivero opening the scoring. Lorenzo Faravelli added a second, and Ángel Sepúlveda netted twice, concluding the tournament as the top scorer with nine goals. Mateusz Bogusz completed the rout, ensuring Cruz Azul's qualification for the 2025 FIFA Intercontinental Cup and the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup.

Vancouver, despite a 15-match unbeaten streak leading up to the final, failed to register a single shot, underscoring Cruz Azul's dominance. Head coach Jesper Sørensen acknowledged the superiority of the Mexican side and expressed disappointment over the outcome.

This decisive victory mirrors PSG's 5-0 dismantling of Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final, marking a rare occurrence of back-to-back continental finals ending with such lopsided scorelines. PSG's win secured their first Champions League title and completed a historic quadruple, including Ligue 1, Coupe de France, and Trophée des Champions victories.

PSG became only the second French Club to win the Champions League, first since Marseille won back in 1993. On the night, it was a special performance from the likes of Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and others as they blew away the Italian side.

Both Cruz Azul and PSG's triumphs highlight a resurgence of dominant performances in continental club football, setting a high benchmark for future finals.
