A first Champions League for Paris Saint-Germain, the first time a final with five goals was won, and a first European trophy for Qatar. "Everyone doubted us," said Nasser Al-Khelaifi after the game.

Years of Failure and Success
When PSG coach Luis Enrique and his players joyfully jumped on the Munich field, Qatar Airways Advertising provided both the background and a further memory of the engine of their success.

The PSG fans’ attitude was "a strong contrast to Germany," with most French fans taking care of human rights issues much less than the Germans.

Two goals of a French teenager in the most dominant Champions League Final Performance In memory are exactly the kind of history that draws people to the game. This mixture of intelligent Big Money purchases and finally to use your rich local talent market will worry more traditional European power plants.
