Thank you for joining me for this incredible final. It went down to the wire with the score 15-15 at full time of normal time. Tries were exchanged and then the boot of Thomas Ramos kept the scoreboard ticking to deliver Toulouse’s sixth Champions Cup. Have a read of Rob Kitson’s report from Tottenham Hotspur’s stadium, it takes in the atmosphere and occasion perfectly. The rugby season is not over and the English Premiership semi-finals next weekend and we will have live coverage of those. Until then enjoy your bank holiday and week.

Only three Champions Cup finals have gone to extra time. Toulouse have won all of them. An outstanding feat.
