Bayern Munich Win Sixth Champions League As Kingsley Coman Goal Leaves Neymar In Tears
Bayern Munich won their sixth Champions League title on Sunday evening in Lisbon thanks to Kingsley Coman’s second-half header against Paris Saint-Germain.
It was Bayern’s first European title since 2013 and capped a remarkable season in which they wrapped up their Treble.
It was a nervy first half and despite the expectation of mountains of goals, the two teams went into the break scoreless.
Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Robert Lewandowski — some of the world’s most prolific forwards — all had great chances but no one could break the deadlock.
There were few metres given in the second 45, and it was Coman who proved to be the match-winner thanks to his 59th-minute header against the club where he started his career.
Bayern celebrated wildly when the full-time whistle was blown and Flick’s decision to replace Ivan Perisic, who started the quarter and semi-finals, with Coman was justified.
Neymar was brought into PSG to help them win the Champions League, was left in tears after his side suffered a 1-0 loss.
