Kylian Mbappe has broken his silence after PSG defeated Inter Milan 5-0 to win the Champions League for the first time in their history.
Mbappe left PSG last summer on a free transfer to join Real Madrid.
Since his departure, Luis Enrique's side once again retained the Ligue 1 title, and can now add a Champions League title to their trophy cabinet.

They produced a dominant display in Munich to win 5-0, with Desire Doue scoring a brace alongside goals from Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu.
Mbappe was clearly watching the action in Munich, and he congratulated his former team-mates on their success.
Taking to Instagram, he wrote: "The big day has finally arrived. Victory and with the manner of a whole club. Congratulations, PSG."

Speaking ahead of the game, star man Dembele refuted claims that PSG are a 'better team' without Mbappe, amid contrasts between their current playing style and that of the time when they had Messi, Neymar and Mbappe as their front three.
He told reporters: "Is the game easier without Mbappe? No. Maybe with him we would have been even better this season.
"Mbappe had a dream in his career to play at Real Madrid... and PSG continued on its path. There is a before and an after Kylian."
Mbappe will now focus on winning the Champions League with Real Madrid next season.

Los Blancos have already added Trent Alexander-Arnold and Dean Huijsen to their squad from Liverpool and Bournemouth respectively.
They also have a new coach in Xabi Alonso, who has replaced Carlo Ancelotti.
Alonso's main task will be to achieve success in continental football again, starting with the Club World Cup this summer but, most importantly, next season's Champions League.
Mbappe will hope that he can help both of those objectives be achieved.
