How PSG can equal unique Celtic record with Champions League final win

Celtic are the only team in world football to have claimed four major trophies in one season when they became the first ever British team to win the European Cup in 1967 after they famously defeated Inter Milan in Lisbon.

They also won the Scottish title by three points ahead of Rangers, the Scottish Cup against Aberdeen and the League Cup against Rangers.

However, PSG have a chance to match Celtic this weekend....and they will also have to beat Inter Milan to do it.

They have already won Ligue 1 by a massive 19 points over Marseille and they clinched the Coupe de France with a 3-0 weekend success over Reims.

France's League Cup tournament - the Coupe de la Ligue - was discontinued five years ago because of fixture congestion and their third major tournament is the Trophee des Champions, a Super Cup between the winners of the league and national cup competition, which PSG lifted with a win over Monaco in a game that was played in Qatar.

And victory in Munich would see them become the first club to match the famous achievements of an all-conquering Celtic side in 1967.
