We have a song that talks about our struggles and it hasn&#x27;t always been easy.&quot;But we got our faith back this year with a team without stars. They&#x27;re 11 guys who play for each other.&quot;French President Emmanuel Macron&#x27;s office said he would host the victorious players on Sunday to congratulate them.In a separate message on X, Macron hailed a &quot;day of glory for PSG&quot;.&quot;Bravo, we are all proud,&quot; he wrote. &quot;Paris is the capital of Europe tonight.&quot;Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo hailed it as a &quot;historic&quot; win.The PSG team will hold a victory parade on the Champs-Elysees on Sunday when tens of thousands of supporters are expected to gather to get a glimpse of their returning heroes.<div>© Agence France-Presse</div>
