Bayern reach perfection in Lisbon

• Direct Narration and statistics

Football perfection was made flesh in an unsuspected summer final of the European Cup. Bayern honored their tradition and idiosyncrasy culminating on D-Day with a goal from Kingsley Coman, their undisputed status as the best team in the world, leaving Paris Saint-Germain muttering a frustration that seems to have no end, also their helplessness to find themselves on his way to the best champion of the Champions era. 10 victories in 10 games, an unblemished career that brings the Bavarian team their sixth continental crown, only behind Milan and Real Madrid. An idyllic service sheet for which it will always be the Coronavirus Champions, special and unique as is this Bayern that Hans-Dieter Flick has led to glory by rescuing its most genuine essences. Like Jupp HeynckesIn 2013, the year of the last Bayern champion, Joachim Löw's former assistant landed in the middle of the season looking like an interim and has ended up achieving eternity.

Faith in his own ideology explains the success of the German champion, who even before the deadliest forward in the world playing with spaces did not renounce his principles. It was a risk to offer an open field to Neymar , Mbappé and Di María , of course, but it was insignificant compared to trying to reinvent itself in the middle of the Champions League final. His colossal streak, undefeated in all competitions since December 7, 29 victories and a draw since then, invited the continuation of a recipe that was to be successful by force majeure. And it was, leaving the best PSG ever without a prize, claiming that the supremacy of the old European aristocracy continues in force. The Parisians have done everything they should have in this Champions League, but it has not served them, remembering once again that money is not everything. Neither in football.

It was a purely German final, much more effective and practical than aesthetic, resolved head-on by Coman , a former PSG youth squad, thus reminding Parisians of the importance of evaluating their own before blowing the smoke out of the credit card. The great merit of Bayern, as almost always, was to make their rival pass for a lesser team, to drown the virtues of others while keeping their own intact. This Bayern, before winning you, demoralizes you, reduces you to a dark and blunt version of yourself. And then, of course, it's easier to win.

Coman was precisely the great novelty of the eleven headlines, to the detriment of the more reliable but less vertical Perisic . It was a hit for Flick and not just because of the goal. The pressure exerted by both teams required freshness and clarity of mind to escape from the mines placed throughout the field. Initially, it was perhaps more difficult for Bayern, for whom the midfield line was a trench that was difficult to overcome, especially if the ball passed through Davies . When he succeeded, of course, he found facilities to generate danger, translated into two frank shots by Lewandowski in the first half hour, one of them to the post.

PSG enjoyed less prominence, but their arrivals, pure controlled speed, were loaded with poison. Before the break, Neuer already saved two very clear, one from Neymar and one from Mbappé, who joined another pair of dangerous actions by Di María and Ander Herrera, spectacularly projecting his three forwards from the midfield, without a single missed pass. throughout the first half. In reality, except for Gnabry , all the big names showed up in the opening 45 minutes.

Neuer stops

Bayern returned from the locker room modulating their proposal, trying to relax the rhythm of the match through long possessions that forced PSG to go backwards. The Germans achieved the two objectives they had set for themselves, both to minimize the Parisian ability to counterattack and, above all, to get ahead on the scoreboard. It happened on the edge of game time, with a center touched by Kimmich from the edge of the area that Coman resolved with a header at the far post, taking advantage of Kehrer's indecision, who did not know whether to score the French or Lewandowski and ended up choosing the worst option: doubt.

It was then that PSG was compelled to impose its personality to reverse the situation. It was time for leaders ... and Tuchel found none. The French team only knew how to stretch, while Bayern acted like a macabre mentalist, playing with their anxiety with the solvency that only those who wear the Bayern shield on their chest are capable of deploying. Now and always.

Only in the final section, when the Germans saw the opportunity to sentence, Neymar and Mbappé managed to question Bayern's final victory, but Neuer always appeared to show that he is still who he was and that his doubtful times were behind him. And that Bayern will always be Bayern and, as such, inevitably tends to victory, while PSG, no matter how hard they try, will never have victory in its very essence. You have that, like Bayern, or you don't have it, but you don't buy it.
