Bayern Munich Defeat PSG To Win Champions League
German giants Bayern Munich have won the UEFA Champions League for the sixth time in the club’s history after beating French side Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 at the final in Portugal’s capital, Lisbon.
A goal by French winger Kingsley Coman was enough for the Munich side on Sunday to dash the Parisians’ dream of winning for the first time the top club competition of European football.
The Paris-born Coman, a former Paris Saint-Germain player, nodded in at the back post from Joshua Kimmich’s cross in the 59th minute.
The final was played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Bayern’s victory at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon ensures a repeat of their 2013 treble, with coach Hansi Flick matching Jupp Heynckes in securing the continental crown, Bundesliga and German Cup titles in the coronavirus-extended 2019/20 season.
Paris Saint-Germain enjoyed their best-ever Champions League campaign by reaching the final for the first time.
Bayern join last year’s winners Liverpool as six-time champions of Europe, only behind AC Milan and Real Madrid, with seven and 13 titles, respectively.
