PSG ends longest Champions League final drought ever with easy win over Leipzig

After 110 Champions League matches, the French powerhouse has made it to the final of Europe’s top club competition.

No other club to reach the final had to wait longer, with Arsenal holding the previous record by going 90 matches from 1971-2006 before being able to play for the title.

And there was no need for late drama for PSG this time as Angel Di Maria scored a goal and set up two others in a comfortable 3-0 win over Leipzig in the semifinals on Tuesday. PSG had needed two late goals to come back against Atalanta in the quarter-finals last week.

“We’re very happy. It’s a first for the club,” Di Maria said. “We worked hard and played a great game. We want to make history for the club. We succeeded tonight and we’re in the final, that’s very important. We have to continue like tonight to make our dream come true.” (CBC)
