Paris Saint Germain (PSG) advanced to their first-ever Champions League final following a 3-0 win over RB Leipzig.

Their front three of Neymar, Angel Di Maria and Kylian Mbappe put in a sparkling performance as the French side struck twice in the first half and then again after the break.

The goals came from Marquinhos (13'), Di María (42') and Juan Bernat (56').

PSG will play the winners of Wednesday's clash between Lyon and Bayern Munich in the showpiece on Sunday.

It has taken PSG 110 games to reach their first European Cup or Champions League final. This is the most played by any team; Arsenal held the previous record with 90.
