Kingsley Coman’s solitary strike proved the difference on Sunday as the Germans celebrated their sixth win in the competition
Bayern Munich were crowned Champions League winners on Sunday, giving a final flourish to a campaign which has been near to perfect for the Bundesliga giants.
Kingsley Coman struck against former clubParis Saint-Germain to score the only goal of the final, leading Bayern to continental glory in a 1-0 victory.
It is the Bavarians’ sixth win in the European Cup/Champions League, placing them joint-third in the overall trophy standings behind only Real Madrid, who have lifted the title 13 times, and AC Milan (seven).
But never in the long history of the competition had a single team managed to negotiate the entire campaign without dropping a single point, until Hansi Flick’s relentless champions appeared.
Sunday’s victory over PSG was their 11th in as many games in the 2019-20 Champions League, making Bayern the first side to post a 100 per cent record in the tournament.
That impeccable run began all the way back in September 2019 with a 3-0 defeat of Red Star Belgrade, a result that set the tone for what turned out to be a thrilling, goal-filled dash to glory.
Along the way Bayern netted 43 goals, a mark only bettered in Champions League history by Barcelona.
