Victor Wembanyama Reacts to Historic PSG Champion's League Win

"Merciii Paris," he wrote.

Beyond Doué, Portuguese midfielder Vitinha helped PSG to the biggest margin of victory in a Champions League final.

"This means everything," he said following the win. "It's my dream, it's our dream. It's incredible. The result is not by magic. I'm happy we did it like this, we're now going to celebrate."

Beyond their French heritage, Wembanyama and Doué share the ample success they've found at a young age. Doué became the first French player in history to start a Champions League final before the age of 20 Saturday, while Wembanyama is nearing the top of the NBA entering his third season.

The 21-year-old center was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder on Feb. 20, but has since undergone surgery and expects to make a full recovery in time for the start of training camp.

Soon enough, he hopes to be in Doué's position as the star of a championship.

"We're taking our time," Wembanyama said. "I'm neither late nor early. It's a process. There's definitely steps I need to take before (I come back)."
