Bayern Munich's Champions League victory was also a historic day for Alphonso Davies. The 19-year-old from Edmonton became the youngest defender and first Canadian men's player to win a Champions League title.
LISBON, PORTUGAL -- Kingsley Coman headed Bayern Munich to a sixth European Cup title on Sunday, scoring against boyhood club Paris Saint-Germain to seal a 1-0 victory in the first Champions League final to be played without fans.
As the costly front three were frustrated in front of goal, it was instead a winger who was born in Paris and started his career at PSG who inflicted the blow. "When you win a title like this with brothers on the pitch," Kimmich said, "that's the maximum you can ask for." The European Cup joins the Bundesliga trophy -- won for an eighth successive season -- and the German Cup.
"They were more clinical than us," PSG midfielder Ander Herrera said. "When you play another top team in Europe, if you don't score they will." Only the presence of "Istanbul" on the match ball that Neymar struck at Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in the 18th was a reminder here of the pandemic-enforced change of location.
