Road to glory: How Bayern Munich secured their sixth Champions League final win – in pictures

We take a look at each match in Bayern's remarkable 2019/20 European campaign after their win over PSG on Sunday

Bayern Munich were crowned European champions for the sixth time by beating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 thanks to a second-half header from Kingsley Coman.

France international Coman, who started his career at PSG, was picked out at the back post to score the decisive goal in the 59th minute, as Bayern became the first team to lift the Champions League with a remarkable 100 per cent record.

Only Real Madrid (13) and AC Milan (7) have been crowned champions on more occasions.

The victory, deserved after a dogged display once Bayern got in front, secured a second treble for the Bavarians, after winning the Bundesliga and German Cup, and completed a remarkable first season for manager Hansi Flick.

Flick took over a struggling side in November, after a 5-1 hammering by Eintracht Frankfurt led to the sacking of Niko Kovac with the club fourth in the Bundesliga.

We take a look at the road to Champions League glory that Bayern have undertaken this season. And also how French side PSG reached their first ever final in Europe's premier club competition.
