Paris Saint-Germain just perfect on a night for the ages

This season's Champions League has, in my opinion, been one for the ages and one that will be looked at in years to come as a competition that was truly exciting from the first whistle to the one which signalled the end of the game in Munich on Saturday night.

It has been a tournament where young players have shone so bright — and signals the era in which football truly moves on from the days dominated by Messi and Ronaldo.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) were worthy winners as they have played a brand of football that has not only won games but secured them new fans across the globe.

French football has often been seen by the world as one which excels at international football but lacks strength in the domestic game. But PSG has shown that French club football is starting to grow — based on a strategy of young and emerging talent instead of bringing in established superstars.
