Of course, the most important thing after such a victory remains the sporting joy and, possibly, the prestige of achieving something significant in football history with a second consecutive Champions League title. However, these millions are not insignificant.
It’s a great reward and an extra weapon for the future, allowing them to fight hard to remain among the best. This is far from an easy task; we’ve seen clubs suffer a painful fall from grace. PSG mustn’t let up; we’ve already seen a determination for the future in their reactions after the match. Even so, they mustn’t forget to enjoy the moment.
