FC Bayern Munich Wins UEFA Champions League Final
Bayern Defeats Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 to Claim Sixth Title
FC Bayern Munich has won the UEFA Champions League for the sixth time, defeating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in a closely contested final on Sunday in Lisbon, Portugal. Kingsley Coman's second-half header proved to be the difference, as Bayern lifted the European Cup for the first time since 2013.
Coman's Goal Wins It for Bayern
After a goalless first half, Coman broke the deadlock in the 59th minute, rising highest to head home Joshua Kimmich's cross. It was Coman's first goal in the Champions League this season and proved to be the decisive moment in the match.
Bayern Dominates Possession
Bayern controlled possession throughout the match, with 63% of the ball. They had 12 shots to PSG's seven, but only four of Bayern's efforts were on target, compared to five for PSG.
Neuer Shines in Bayern Goal
Manuel Neuer was in inspired form for Bayern, making several crucial saves to keep PSG at bay. The German goalkeeper was particularly impressive in the first half, denying Neymar and Kylian Mbappé on multiple occasions.
PSG Rue Missed Chances
PSG will rue their missed chances, particularly in the first half. Neymar and Mbappé both had clear-cut opportunities to score, but they were unable to find the back of the net. PSG's lack of efficiency in front of goal proved costly in the end.
Bayern's Sixth Champions League Title
Bayern's victory marks their sixth Champions League title, moving them level with Liverpool and only behind Real Madrid (13) and AC Milan (7) in the all-time standings. It is also the second treble for Bayern, who also won the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal this season.
