Bayern Munich defeats Paris Saint-Germain to win the Champions League #BayernMunich

 

Bayern Munich clinched their sixth European title after beating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League final in Lisbon on Sunday.

The German champions tripled their profits after winning the League and the Domestic Cup earlier this year.

Despite all the offensive talent he showed, one goal was enough to separate the two sides when former PSG player Kingsley Coman scored the winning goal in the 59th minute.

Coman, the French international, drove his head into the bottom corner to add another cup to the cabinet.

The 24-year-old won the league title in every season he spent as a professional player, starting with Paris Saint-Germain's victory in Ligue 1 in 2013.

Meanwhile, there is more European disappointment for Paris Saint-Germain who was playing in his first final.

The French champ, who was also seeking a hat-trick, has become obsessed with winning the Champions League since Qatar Sports Investments bought the Parisian club in 2011.

More than $ 1 billion has been spent on the squad, but stars like Neymar and Kylian Mbappe have been unable to overtake the dominant Bayern who have yet to lose in 2020.

Kingsley Coman celebrated scoring the match's only goal.

Cagey the end

Played behind closed doors at Estádio da Luz, this was not the classic final many had been hoping for after both teams scored freely throughout the tournament.

Brazilian Neymar denied the first goal through a superb save to Manuel Neuer, before Bayern's Robert Lewandowski hit the post and hit a header during the first half.

Bayern's elevated defensive line, which in many respects represents his greatest strength, encouraged the PSG strikers at lightning speed.

Mbappe and Neymar spent the night on the shoulders of Bayern defenders, waiting for the trigger to run behind them, but they failed to turn when given the chance.

The second half did not improve in quality as Koeman provided the only critical offensive portion of the game.

Bayern winger Serge Gnabry told BT Sport after the match, "Winning the title today is the best thing that can happen to us. We worked incredibly hard and in the end, became the best team in Europe."

“It's the final, Paris came out wanting to win and so did we. Nobody will give up easily but we did.

"As long as the score was 0-0, it was always going to be available to us. Of course, they had chances. They were lucky that they didn't score and were lucky that we scored a goal."

Bayern captain Manuel Neuer lifts the Champions League trophy against his team.

The dominant Bayern Munich

Bayern enjoys domestic dominance in Germany - they have now won eight titles in a row in the Bundesliga - but success in Europe has been hard to come by since their last Champions League victory in 2013.

Nevertheless, under Hans Dieter Flick's leadership, Bayern was in a spectacular unbeaten run and were the favourites to beat the glamorous PSG stars.

With Sunday's victory, he became the first team to win all 11 Champions League matches from the group stage, and scored 43 goals in those matches.

Striker Robert Lewandowski scored one of the greatest singles seasons in competition history but failed to score the two goals needed to match Cristiano Ronaldo's record of 17 in one season.

"It feels really good," said Canadian left back Alfonso Davis, 19, in an interview with BT Sport after the match. "It's all you dream of as a kid to come to Europe and win the Champions League with a great club like Bayern.". "It shows the team that I have around me."

“It shows you can do anything you put in your mind. I'm happy to be here with the Champions League medal around my neck and the cup to the side.

"We know legends have won this title before, so when a little kid comes along you want to keep going. Every young player in this club is hungry for trophies because they see their idols doing it."

Paris Saint-Germain fans cheer near the Parc des Princesses as they prepare to watch their team play.

The Champions League is unforgettable

It is definitely the strangest Champions League in the history of the competition. It started over a year ago in June 2019 but the pandemic has caused long postponements and a change in the tournament format.

The final knockout rounds were held behind closed doors in Lisbon under restrictive conditions, with a knockout match replacing the first and second leg.
