Twitter explodes as Bayern Munich beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 to win 6th Champions League title

Bayern Munich triumphed over Paris Saint-Germain to lift the ultimate prize in club football, as they recorded a 1-0 win to lift their sixth UEFA Champions League title. It was an end to end game, worthy of any final with both teams going for the win.

However, the finishing by the two clubs left a lot to be desired for, with Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, and Robert Lewandowski all going close to scoring but not finding the finishing touch.

It was Kingsley Coman who opened the scoring for Hansi Flick's side, heading home a delightful chipped ball by Joshua Kimmich. Kylian Mbappe went down amid a soft tug from Kimmich, but the referee deemed it not worthy of a penalty.

Twitter didn't hold back in celebrating Bayern Munich's remarkable win.

Kingsley Coman, take a bow -- from PSG's youth team to scoring against them in the Champions League final

5 - Kingsley Coman is the fifth Frenchman to score in a UEFA Champions League final after Karim Benzema (2018), Zinedine Zidane (2002), Marcel Desailly (1994) and Basile Boli (1993). Subbed. #PSGFCB #UCLfinal pic.twitter.com/MBWwYREK1r

Kimmich with an assist worthy of winning any final!

Kimmich may well be responsible for key moments of Bayern's season, and both exquisite in execution in similar ways:- the chip v Dortmund- that cross, just hung in the air

No players were fouled more in the first half of the #UCLFinal than PSG's Thilo Kehrer and Bayern's Joshua Kimmich (3 each).The right-backs are under attack.

Mbappe had a night to forget

Kylian Mbappé has not scored with any of his 13 shots in the #UCL knock-out stage this season, no player has attempted more without finding the net.He's already fired in three shots tonight. pic.twitter.com/wNfKjNP2M7

Can’t believe Mbappe missed that chance. PSG should have been 2-0 up.

An absolute masterclass (so far) from Bayern since taking the lead, assisted by Tuchel ceding any control in midfield with substitutions that look a bit desperate in hindsight.

Barcelona have Lionel Messi PSG has Neymar and Mbappe. Bayern Munich have a team.

Two fouls on Neymar in the first few minutes of the second half after he didn't win a single foul in the first half.He's still yet to complete a take-on in the #UCLFinal so far.

Goalkeepers, the real heroes...

Yes, there have been plenty of chances at both ends but that half belonged to Neuer and Navas. Haven't put a foot wrong and made some big saves. #UCLFinal

PSG could throw sand at Neuer right now and he’d catch every single grain
