Mbappe congratulates PSG on Champions League win
The Champions League trophy eluded Kylian Mbappe during his time at Paris Saint-Germain, but he paid tribute to his former club's win after it thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 in this year's final.
PSG finally ended its wait for the biggest trophy in European club football, as Luis Enrique's side dismantled Inter in in Munich.
Desire Doue scored twice while Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu were also on target as PSG recorded the biggest victory in a European Cup/Champions League final.
The Ligue 1 champion, which has completed a quadruple, lifted the trophy in what was its 168th game in the UEFA Champions League, the most any side has played before winning the competition for the first time.
It was a trophy that ultimately eluded Mbappe, who came closest in the 2020 final when it was beaten by Bayern Munich.
He departed for Real Madrid at the end of last season.
The France captain took to social media to pay tribute to his former club, posting on his Instagram story: "The big day has finally arrived. Victory, and in club style. Congratulations to PSG."
Mbappe, who won six Ligue 1 titles with PSG, remains the club's all-time leading scorer with 256 goals between 2017 and 2024.
He was not the only superstar to congratulate PSG on their record-breaking success.
Novak Djokovic, in action at Roland-Garros while the final was ongoing, celebrated his third-round win and also PSG's triumph, posting on X: "A good night in Paris (not just in the football)."
