Bayern match winner Coman feels the grief of PSG and his city of Paris | NOW

Kingsley Coman is of course overjoyed after his winning goal in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain (0-1) on Sunday, but he also sympathizes with the losers. The 24-year-old Frenchman, former PSG player, realizes that he hurt his former club at Estádio da Luz in Lisbon.

“I share in PSG’s grief. I am a Parisian,” said Coman, who was born in the French capital and attended PSG’s youth academy. He even played three matches in Ligue 1 for the club, but a breakthrough was not forthcoming. He made it to the top via Juventus and Bayern.

Coman emphasizes that there was no extra motivation against PSG, despite the fact that he did not get a real chance at the French champions at a young age.

“I wanted to play a very good game, but that had nothing to do with PSG. I am a 100 percent Bayern player and I did everything I could to win. And I succeeded. It was a fantastic evening. I am so happy. “

‘From the shadow of Robben and Ribéry’

The winger has been playing for Bayern for five seasons, but in the first four years he was often a bench seat, as his competitors were Arjen Robben and Franck Ribéry. This season, Coman usually had a starting place and he crowned that with his goal on Sunday in the final battle against PSG. On a pass from Joshua Kimmich, he headed home in the 59th minute, much to the delight of Bayern coach Hansi Flick.

“Kingsley may have finally stepped out of Ribéry and Robben’s shadow this season,” said Flick. “He has fantastic talent and has shown against PSG that he can also score.”

The game in Lisbon was PSG’s first Champions League final, while Bayern was in the final battle of the most important European cup tournament for the eleventh time. The German club won the European Cup I in 1974, 1975 and 1976 and is now for the third time (after 2001 and 2013) the strongest in the Champions League.
