Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer lifting the trophy after they won the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain at the Luz, Lisbon, Portugal on Sunday — AP LISBON, Aug 24 (Reuters): Bayern Munich were crowned European champions for the sixth time after beating Paris St Germain 1-0 thanks to a second-half header from former PSG youth academy graduate Kingsley Coman in an absorbing Champions League final on Sunday.
France international Coman appeared at the back post to head the decisive goal in the 59th minute as Bayern became the first team to lift the Champions League with a 100 per cent record.
There were no fans to witness the triumph but Bayern celebrated as though 80,000 were cheering and, even as the lights went out nearly two hours after the final whistle, three players still sat in the centre circle, savouring the moment.
The victory deserved after a dogged display once Bayern got in front completed a remarkable first season for coach Hansi Flick.
