Bayern Munich's talented superstars became the champions of Europe as they stormed their way to a sixth Champions League trophy. The Bavarians endured a difficult start to the season but Hansi Flick managed to turn their season around and make Bayern Munich one of the best teams in the world.
Bayern Munich's ecstasy last night was a source of anguish and pain for a Paris Saint-Germain side that is yet to win its first Champions League trophy. The likes of Neymar and Thiago Silva were heartbroken as Bayern Munich celebrated an unprecedented treble.
Bayern Munich lifts its sixth Champions League trophy
Bayern Munich is arguably the best team in the world at the moment and obliterated some of the best teams in the Champions League to win the title. This title represents the sixth Champions League triumph in the Bavarians' illustrious history.
David Alaba takes a stand on the world's biggest stage
In the midst of triumphant celebrations from the Bayern Munich squad, David Alaba took a moment to dedicate the victory to one of the most pertinent issues that the world faces today. The Bayern Munich defender made it a point to remind viewers across the world that while football may be a source of joy to many, something still has to be done about the racial injustice that continues to plague certain sections of the sport.
Neymar and Paris Saint-Germain will have to wait their turn
Paris Saint-Germain was closer than it has ever been to winning the Champions League trophy last night. Both Neymar and Kylian Mbappe were denied repeatedly by the resilience and brilliance of Manuel Neuer and the Brazilian forward was inconsolable after the final whistle.
Hansi Flick won the treble in his first season
Bayern Munich's 5-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in November last year proved to be a blessing in disguise. Hansi Flick was appointed the new manager of the side after the defeat and revived Bayern Munich's fortunes. The German tactician has managed to win a stunning treble less than a year after he took over the reins.
Thiago's successful stint at Bayern Munich may come to an end
Thiago has been sensational for Bayern Munich this season. The Spanish midfielder is the perfect combination of technical exuberance and tenacity on the pitch and led his team to an unprecedented treble. The midfielder is set to leave Bayern Munich in the coming weeks and has given his side the best possible parting gift.

Thomas Tuchel will get another shot
Managing a team filled with the biggest superstars in the world is much harder than it looks. Thomas Tuchel has always been a shrewd tactician but also proved his man-management skills this season and has become one of the most skilled coaches in the world. The German manager will certainly get another chance to win the Champions League in the future.
Robert Lewandowski's feats will be remembered for decades
Robert Lewandowski has effectively managed to make the Champions League his personal training ground this year. The prolific Pole may not be able to lift the Ballon d'Or this year but his goal tally and his silverware cabinet will ensure that his name is etched in the Champions League's history books.
Thiago Silva bids a tearful farewell
There are a few players on the pitch yesterday that may never take part in a Champions League final again. At the age of 35, Thiago Silva nearly managed to thwart one of the most feared attacking combinations in Europe and can leave Paris Saint-Germain with his head held high. The Brazilian star is linked with a move to the Premier League and probably played his last game in a Paris Saint-Germain shirt yesterday.
Kylian Mbappe has a long career ahead of him
Kylian Mbappe is arguably the most successful 21-year-old footballer in the world at the moment. The French superstar may have already won the World Cup but is yet to add the coveted Champions League to his impressive trophy collection. Mbappe gave an excellent account of himself this season and is starting to become Paris Saint-Germain's talisman. The young winger has plenty of time to work on his skills and is likely to win the Champions League in the future.
Bayern Munich celebrated its second treble
Bayern Munich is at the top of the world at the moment. The mighty Bavarians massacred the biggest clubs in Europe to reach the Champions League final and simply refused to bow down to the weight of the expectations that were imposed on them. Hansi Flick's side showed more than just a few glimpses of Jupp Heynckes' all-conquering Bayern Munich juggernaut in 2013 and have rightfully become the kings of Europe this season.
