Champions League final 2020: Kingsley Coman seals UCL title for champions of Germany 

Either of the winners in the PSG vs Bayern Munich clash could have clinched the treble. PSG had already sealed the Ligue 1 and French Cup title, while the Bavarians stood unchallenged in the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal. Ultimately, Bayern Munich went on to seal the treble, bringing an end to one of their most successful campaigns in recent times. 

Neymar and his teammate Kylian Mbappe did have some decent opportunities to break the deadlock and bag the lead for PSG. However, Manuel Neuer's scintillating performance between the sticks turned out to be a nightmare for the Parisians. It was ultimately Kingsley Coman who scored the only goal of the night, scoring from a header in the second half from a Joshua Kimmich cross. The defeat brings an end to PSG's hope of clinching the Champions League title for the first time ever at least until next season.
