'Neuer took goalkeeping to a new level' - PSG boss Tuchel praises Bayern stopper after Champions League final defeat

Thomas Tuchel singled Manuel Neuer out for praise after Paris Saint-Germain's defeat in the Champions League final, insisting the Bayern Munich shot stopper "took the goalkeeping game to a new level".

Bayern lifted the cup for the sixth time in their history by beating PSG 1-0 in the showpiece event in Lisbon on Sunday .

Kingsley Coman's second-half header proved to be the difference between the two sides in an open game which saw the Ligue 1 outfit squander a number of clear-cut opportunities. Neymar and Kylian Mbappe both had chances to open the scoring in the first period, but failed to find a way past Neuer in the Bayern net.
