Bayern Munich won their sixth European crown on Monday as they defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the UEFA Champions League final at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon. Kingsley Coman was the sole goalscorer of the final as Bayern stopped PSG from getting their hands on the elusive trophy for the first time.
PSG were looking to win the trophy for the first time in their 50th anniversary year but they failed to find the back of the net and had to remain just the finalists. Neymar and Kylian Mbappe both had big chances but they could not beat the mighty Manuel Neuer at the goalpost.
The goalscorer Coman is a Parisian but he scored against Paris Saint-Germain to help the Germans get triumphant in Portugal. Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Mueller did not get on the scoreboard in the final but the Polish was a constant threat while Mueller clever touches gave Bayern the edge.
Here are all the statistics from the UEFA Champions League final between PSG and Bayern Munich:
