Bayern Munich was crowned European champion for the sixth
time after its 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain, on Sunday,
in the final match, to return to the forefront of a German giant
that has long lived and roamed the stadiums of the old continent
since winning the first title in the tournament in 1974.
Bayern Munich won the tough match thanks to Kingsley Coman’s goal.
Coman, a former Paris Saint-Germain player and the French
national team, was present at the far corner to meet Joshua
Kimmich’s brilliant cross pass with a header that struck the net
in the 59th minute, ending a remarkable feat by Bayern, who
achieved an unprecedented feat after becoming the first team to
win the Champions League title By winning all his matches in
the competition and the number was 11 due to the conditions for
holding the eight and four league from one match due to the Corona virus.
The deserved win, which came after a stubborn show, secured
the German team a hat-trick for the second time in its history
after an impressive first season, under coach Hans Flick.
Flick took charge of the struggling team in November after a 1-5
loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, which led to coach Niko Kovac’s
dismissal and the team was fourth in the league.
Bayern player Thomas Muller said, “It is a great feeling.
We have come a long journey,” according to “Reuters”.
“We rose from rock bottom or at least that’s how we felt last fall
and had an amazing rally. We were a little lucky tonight and
have (Manuel) Neuer in the net.”
On the other hand, Kingsley Coman confirmed to “RMC”: “The
feelings are wonderful, a lot of happiness, a little sadness for
Paris, they have made a great journey. My heart was 100% with
Bayern because I am 100% professional, but I will not lie,
seeing our team.” Thus, it breaks my heart a little .. “.
Regarding the level of his team, Koeman said, “We tried to
control the match, maintain the pressure. They had rebounds
that were almost dangerous, but we did not concede any goal
and we won … this is the most important thing.”
As for whether experience played a role in the coronation,
Koeman added, “I think the match plays on simple details Paris
made a big match and we too, I think it was a beautiful final
match, and we are very happy.”
And Canadian Alfonso Davis, Bayern’s left-back, said, “Who
would have imagined that a young man from Canada would
crown the Champions League title? Two years ago, if someone
had told me that, I wouldn’t have believed him.”
