That was Europe. If sport is a projection, a substitute, a substitute, an imitation, an allegory of politics, there it was all in a football match. A metaphor for the Franco-German axis (already advanced in the semifinals), around which Europe is articulated.

The entire final phase was already itself decidedly metaphorical, with the presence of representatives from the four largest economies in the euro zone and a Brexit delegate, who was actually and metaphorically eliminated. He shared a house and tablecloth in Lisbon , but was expelled for being oblivious to the common idea of ​​Europe. He was an intruder. A foreign body.

The results of the qualifying rounds reflected the power system, they showed what everyone looks like and weighs in this old part of the world. If City was Johnson ; if Barça and Atleti were Sánchez ; if the Atalanta was Conte (Giuseppe, not Antonio); if PSG was Macron and if Bayern was Merkel , it was a final respectful of the economic and political hierarchies of the continent.

Bayern's victory was a good metaphor. No European club so European. No German club so German. Or as European and German as the most. Bayern, embedded in the center of the continent, is the living geographical representation of Europe. And, in these times of sheikhs, magnates and plutocrats from strange and remote latitudes, the faithful image of self-sufficiency based on one's own essences and respect for the past.

Against a PSG that is only nominally European, French and Parisian. Facing a PSG denatured by the mystifying nature of excessive globalization. Faced with a PSG acquired by an oil-producing country like someone who buys an object without a soul and without history. Against a PSG sentimentally prostituted and artificially forged with impunity with the checkbook. Faced with a newly minted new rich, Bayern is recognizable. It ensures emotional stability and, while remaining modern, guarantees the continuity of tradition and the unbreakable bond between generations.

It must be easy, satisfying, satisfying and reassuring to be a Bayern fan, this uncontaminated and full-time European Bayern, German and Bavarian. It must be a source of pride with no expiration date to know that the entity owns 75% of itself and that the rest of the property is shared with equal percentages by three German business colossi. Not Chinese, not Arab, not from anywhere else. Germans: Allianz, Adidas and Audi. The Triple A.

The fact that some of the club's greatest legends (Beckenbauer, Hoeness, Rummenigge ...) have participated or participate in its management and direction must necessarily create a definitive, total and eternal identification between him and the fans. In its greatness, Bayern is like a family. Unlike so many others, its fan does not need to convince himself that, despite everything, the colors are above those who have bought them from emotional asepsis and intimate detachment. Those colors have not basically changed their origin, nor their owner. They have not been distorted.

From the perspective of the neutral observer or analyst, Bayern's victory is gratifying. Bayern win. Win europe
