The match started at a blistering pace, with both teams exchanging blows. Bayern Munich, led by the imperious Robert Lewandowski, had the better of the chances in the first half but failed to find the breakthrough. PSG, spearheaded by the enigmatic Kylian Mbappé, were a constant threat on the counterattack but were largely frustrated by the Bayern defense. The second half continued in the same vein, with Bayern Munich dominating possession and creating chances. However, it was PSG who struck first in the 68th minute. Mbappé danced past Alphonso Davies and fired a thunderous shot into the top corner, leaving Manuel Neuer helpless. Undeterred, Bayern Munich roared back. Just minutes later, substitute Kingsley Coman nodded home a pinpoint cross from Joshua Kimmich to level the scores. The Allianz Arena erupted as the momentum shifted in Bayern’s favor. As the match entered extra time, Bayern’s relentless pressure finally paid off. In the 101st minute, Thomas Müller rose highest to meet a cross from Davies and headed the ball past a despairing Keylor Navas. Bayern Munich had snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. The final whistle sparked jubilant celebrations in Munich as Bayern clinched their sixth Champions League title, their second treble in seven years. Lewandowski, with 15 goals in the competition this season, was crowned the UEFA Men’s Player of the Year for the second time. PSG, despite their valiant efforts, were left to rue their missed opportunities. Mbappé, with seven goals in the tournament, was a shining light for the French club but could not quite inspire them to the ultimate prize. The victory marked a historic moment for Bayern Munich, who became the first team to win the UEFA Champions League, Bundesliga, and DFB-Pokal in the same season on three occasions. It also marked the end of an era for PSG, who had failed to reach the final in their four previous attempts. As the dust settled on a memorable night in Lisbon, Bayern Munich stood tall as the undisputed champions of European football.
