Paris Saint-Germain came close, but a second-half goal by Bayern Munich’s Kingsley Coman was the difference in Sunday’s 1-0 victory in the Champions League final in Lisbon, as the German titans claimed their sixth European title almost a year after this campaign began.
It was a just result. Bayern was the better team, holding off Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and PSG, which was making its first appearance in the finale of the planet’s most prestigious club competition. The Parisians did have chances to score both before and after Coman’s winner, including Mbappe’s late penalty shout and another golden opportunity to equalize in stoppage time.
