Bayern Munich cap perfect pandemic run with Champions League victory
Live MintThe night ended with Hans Zimmer’s score from King Arthur filling the emptiness of the Stadium of Light in Lisbon. This one did too, with Coman scoring the game’s lone goal, taking Bayern to a sixth Champions League title. The talk before the game was all about how PSG’s star attackers Neymar and Kylian Mbappé could take advantage of the high defensive line Bayern had maintained through the championship. Bayern captain Manuel Neuer made two saves in succession, first getting a hand to Neymar’s shot on goal, then recovering and throwing his leg out to block his cross. Neither Neymar nor Mbappé looked threatening—the latter’s night was summed up when he was denied, at point blank range, by Neuer in the 90th minute, though it would have been offside anyway.
