On Saturday, the 31st of May, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Inter Milan 5-0 to win their first ever UEFA Champions League. The French giants dominated Inter, with 19-year-old Desire Doue putting in one of the best Champions League final performances in recent years, scoring two goals and providing an assist for Achraf Hakimi's opening goal. PSG have been the outstanding team in this year's Champions League campaign and have come out as the much-deserved winners of the competition.
Considering the magnitude of the event, there were many superstars from many different industries in attendance, with David Beckham, Tom Brady, Tom Cruise and Sir Alex Ferguson being some of the most notable, however, also in attendance was former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. The Russian is fond of PSG and was even showing support for the French giants on the day of the final on social media.
Following the conclusion of the match, Nurmagomedov appeared on CBS Sports' coverage of the final, joining Kate Scott, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards pitch-side. Also on the punditry panel for the match was social media star iShowSpeed, and although a crossover between Nurmagomedov and Speed seems like something from an alternate universe, the unlikely duo produced a moment that has gone viral on social media.
