Lisbon (AFP)
Bayern's dream of a hat-trick is "real" when Paris SG "misses" his: the European online press reported on Sunday evening the "collective" triumph in the Champions League of the Germans, winners of the Parisians in Lisbon (1-0).
"Bayern's dream of a hat-trick is real," said Bild on his website, recalling that the Bavarian club had won the Bundesliga and the German Cup this summer before reaching the roof of Europe.
"It's the perfect end to the season for the defending champion and German Cup holder," describes the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Munich's leading newspaper.
"History is repeating itself! Bayern (...) won the treble for the second time in its history (after 2013)", enthuses the specialist newspaper Kicker, which keeps a word for Hansi Flick, the sixth German coach to win the C1.
On the other side of the Rhine, the website of L'Equipe evokes a "raging" defeat, after a "long undecided" final.
"The Parisians are missing out on their European dream," writes the daily Le Parisien online, referring to the performance of superstar Neymar "who lost his footing, like his team" in the second half.
The daily also reserves a place for Kingsley Coman, the only scorer of the match for Bayern, born in Paris and trained at PSG.
"Coman makes PSG cry", estimates the Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, which hails "the victory of the collective over the soloists, the victory of the team over the individual talents".
La Gazzetta dello Sport also takes its hat off to Bayern: "The curse of the Parisians continues, but for Bayern, it is the reward after absolute domination: no one had ever managed to win all matches in the Champions League, from first group match to last. "
"Imperial Bayern", headlines the Marca website, Spain's best-selling daily. "The ogre has eaten the stars. Eternal Bayern, with that monster gaze perfected over centuries, is the new king of Europe."
"A champion Bayern ends with Neymar's dream," summarizes the website of the Catalan newspaper Sport.
