However, Mbappe's team fell short of standing true to his words with the defeat in the Champions League final. Mbappe missed a number of opportunities in the game, which proved costly for France football's most expensive project. Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski also struck the post in the first half, only for Kingsley Coman to head home the only goal of the night in the second half. 

The defeat shattered PSG's dream of clinching their first-ever Champions League title. Meanwhile, Bayern completed a treble, having already won the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal earlier in the season. The Bavarians have now won the European Cup on six occasions, drawing level with Liverpool's tally. After the defeat, Neymar failed to hold back his emotions and was soon surrounded by Bayern manager Hansi Flick and defender David Alaba, with both consoling the world's most expensive player.
