Paris Saint-Germain have joined the elite group of clubs to have won the European Cup after a 5-0 thrashing of Inter Milan and French publication L'Equipe handed out 10/10 marks for two of the club's representatives after the big win.
PSG became the 24th team to have won Europe's top club competition after the emphatic victory over the Serie A side at Munich's Allianz Arena.
It is the culmination of a long journey for the French side to win the Champions League after plenty of investment over the years, with the closest they have previously come being reaching the final in 2020 but losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich on that occasion.
Luis Enrique's side took the lead after just 12 minutes through Achraf Hakimi, before teenager Desire Doue scored a brace either side of half-time to put the Paris outfit firmly in the driving seat.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored PSG's four of the evening before substitute Senny Mayulu made it five as full-time approached to cap off a glorious evening for the French side.

Victorious PSG boss Enrique said: "Since day one, I said I wanted to win important trophies, and Paris had never won the Champions League.
"We did it for the first time. It's a great feeling to make many people happy."
Player ratings are part of parcel of football coverage and French publication L'Equipe handed out top marks for two PSG representatives after the impressive victory in Munich.
