Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have congratulated Paris Saint-Germain after they thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 to win the Champions League. A brace from Desire Doue and strikes from Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu saw PSG lift the trophy for the first time in their history.
Winning the tournament is something Mbappe and Neymar were unable to do during their time at the club, with the pair part of the PSG side which lost 1-0 to Bayern Munich in the 2020 final in Lisbon.
And both Mbappe and Neymar have congratulated their former club on the win. In a post on his Instagram story, Mbappe wrote: "The big day has finally arrived. Victory and with the manner of a whole club. Congratulations, PSG."
Neymar, meanwhile, shared a clip of the celebrations with the caption: "Congratulations PSG", followed by five applause emojis.
It comes after PSG boss Luis Enrique appeared to take a dig at Mbappe following the final, with the forward running down his contract to join Real Madrid on a free transfer last summer.

When asked about Mbappe after PSG's victory, Enrique said: "We would have loved to have him, but his decision was different. We've shown that we have stars at the service of the team, and not the other way around."
Reflecting on the victory as a whole, Enrique added: "I'm very happy. It was very emotional at the end with the banner from the fans for my family. But I always think about my daughter. It means a lot.
"It's so nice but I don't need to win the Champions league to remember my daughter. My daughter is always with us, especially when we lost. With my family, enjoying everything and trying to get the positives, even in the bad moments.

PSG thrashed Inter Milan to win the Champions League
"I tried to keep the pressure down for a club that had never won the competition. Inter are a great side but we were fantastic in our pressing. Every player improved this season and so did the team.
"We prepared very well for this game to be at that level. The team was excellent; we pressed with high intensity. Ousmane Dembele pressured their defenders and goalkeepers constantly.
"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."
