Bayern Munich are kings of Europe as they beat Paris Saint-Germain in Champions League final

Bayern Munich completed a perfect run through this longest of Champions League campaigns as they beat Paris St Germain 1-0 to lift the European Cup for a sixth time.


Paris-born Kingsley Coman scored the only goal just before the hour as Bayern made it 11 wins out of 11 in the competition this season, lifting the trophy in an empty Estadio da Luz in Lisbon some 85 days after the final had originally been scheduled in Istanbul.

This was a 21st straight win in all competitions, while a remarkable run through the Champions League, highlighted by their 8-2 rout of Barcelona in the quarter-finals, saw them outscore their opponents 43 to eight.

It was frustration for PSG, who have targeted this competition above all others since the flood of investment that has come under Qatari ownership.


They could point to a strong penalty claim in the second half, but were guilty of squandering a number of chances as Bayern took advantage
Bayern then wanted a penalty when Coman hit the deck under the attentions of Kehrer, but the referee was unmoved.

Tempers flared soon after the restart when Serge Gnabry caught Neymar, with Leandro Paredes joining the Bayern man in the book for his reaction.

The breakthrough came just before the hour as Joshua Kimmich lifted a ball into the box, picking out Coman at the far post as the winger headed the ball back across goal and beyond the reach of Navas.
