Bayern Munich's treble completed 

With Neymar and Robert Lewandowski missing out on early chances to bag the lead for their respective teams, the first half ended with neither team scoring a goal. Keylor Navas and Manuel Neuer were particularly dynamic between the sticks, producing some exceptional saves to deny their opponents potential goalscoring opportunities. However, things took a turn in favour of the Allianz Arena outfit in the second half when Kingsley Coman headed home from a brilliant cross from Joshua Kimmich to break the deadlock. Ironically, Coman is a homegrown PSG player, having played for its youth team before heading to Germany.

Although Neymar and Kylian Mbappe tried their level best to bag the equaliser, it wasn't just their night, with the Bavarians ultimately clinching the Champions League title, extending PSG's wait for their maiden European silverware. The German giants bring an end to a historic season, sealing the treble, having also won the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal earlier.
