Reaching the UEFA Champions League final will see Paris Saint-Germain trying to prove that the French top-flight is not a "farmers' league", and in order to do that, they will have to equal a feat only accomplished by Olympique Marseille in this competition.
PSG has joined Monaco, Saint-Etienne, Olympique Marseille, and Stade de Reims as the only French teams to reach the UEFA Champions Leaguen/European Champions Cup final. Nevertheless, the real deal has not been reaching the title clash, the big test will be to succeed where three of those clubs have failed.
@PSG_English are the first French side to reach a @ChampionsLeague final since @AS_Monaco_EN in 2003-04 (lost v Jose Mourinho's Porto)

They are looking to become just the nd French side to win the European Cup, after @OM_English, who lifted the trophy in 1992-93 pic.twitter.com/9DbcgPIGBG
PSG's feat may also serve to vindicate Ligue 1 in Europe, as teams from that league can also brag about Les Parisiens' accomplishment.
5 - Paris SG are the fifth different French side to reach the European Cup/Champions League final, with only England (8), Germany and Italy (both 6) having more unique finalists than France. Bonjour. #RBLPSG pic.twitter.com/T5fTlSvCrg

If Les Parisiens needed one more reason to celebrate this massive accomplishment, spending a big amount of money has paid off for the French club, ending their quest for their first-ever final in the competition.
110 - @PSG_English have reached their first ever European Cup/Champions League final; this was their 110th game in the competition - the most played by a side before reaching their first final, overtaking Arsenal's record of 90 between 1971-2006. Finally. #RBLPSG pic.twitter.com/vREUq2qYrX
