PSG's Champions League hero Doue says ‘dream becomes reality'
MUNICH, Germany: Paris Saint-Germain's double goal-scoring hero Desire Doue said 'a dream has become reality' after Saturday's Champions League triumph. The 19-year-old lit up Munich's Allianz Arena, scoring twice and providing an assist as PSG routed Inter Milan 5-0. 'I don't have the words,' said the French teenager. 'Thanks to the Parc (des Princes, PSG's home stadium), thanks Paris. 'A dream has become reality. It's just magnificent. It's crazy, I'm so happy. 'It's just the beginning.' PSG have been guided to the continental crown for the first time in their history by Spanish coach Luis Enrique. 'It's time to have a big party,' said Luis Enrique, who also won the Champions League with Barcelona 10 years ago. 'We have to make the most of this moment,' added the 55-year-old. 'I feel this connection with the players and the supporters, it's very strong. It's a great moment, we deserve it. We managed to control the tension.' Unruly fans held back Thousands of euphoric PSG fans had to be held back by a line of police they tried to rush the field in jubilation. Police lined up in front of the PSG end of the Allianz Arena stadium at the final whistle but struggled to contain the fans for several minutes when they came down from the stands following the trophy presentation. They did eventually manage to force them back into the stands, and PSG players had already headed back to the locker room, appearing to cut short celebrations in front of their supporters. Players eventually made their way back to the field with the trophy after order was restored. PSG fans dominated the occasion, drowning out Inter supporters, many of whom had left long before the final whistle after seeing their team blown away by the French champion.

Djokovic races into French Open fourth round
PARIS: Novak Djokovic was in a hurry on Saturday as the 24-time Grand Slam winner dismissed world number 153 Filip Misolic 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 to book his place spot in the last 16 at Roland Garros. The three-time French Open champion needed just over two hours to beat his Austrian opponent in the night session on Court Philippe Chatrier. Djokovic had previously joked that he was not keen on potentially playing the late match on center court on Saturday as it would overlap with the UEFA Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan. 'It's going to be PSG that I will support. I will definitely watch it if I'm not playing night session,' said AC Milan fan Djokovic. 'Yeah, that will be nice. FYI, Roland Garros schedule...' With the umpire obliged to request excited local spectators concentrate on the match happening in front of them, the Serb was likely in little doubt as to the situation of the football match taking place in Munich. But Djokovic put his quest for a record-breaking 25th major title firmly to the forefront of his mind as he overwhelmed Misolic with a typically clinical performance. 'I think I was solid in the important moments across the three sets,' said Djokovic who praised his opponent with whom he regularly practices. 'I would like you to give him a big round of applause,' he requested of the crowd in Paris. The 38-year-old faced only one break point, which he saved, while hitting just 14 unforced errors to 33 winners. The sixth seed will face 81st-ranked Cameron Norrie for a spot in the quarter-finals, after the former top 10 Brit earlier beat his compatriot Jacob Fearnley in straight sets.
