While much of the world was shut-in due to the pandemic, things eventually had to return to normal — and they did…at least somewhat.
Football was one of the first aspects of “normal life” to help people remember what it was like after masks, vaccines, and fears of a plague dominated the conversation for months. Finally, football gave people some of those old time (pre-pandemic) feelings. And for Bayern Munich fans, it was a glorious time on the pitch.
Hansi Flick had the squad rolling to a treble (and an eventual sextuple) and the Bavarians were just a rollicking and fun show to watch. When it came to the Champions League final, though, it was not really all that much fun. Tension, intensity, and uncertainty reigned supreme as Bayern Munich could not break through vs.
PSG. Finally, the Bavarians took a 1-0 lead on a header from Kingsley Coman of all people in the 59th minute. That showdown was just one of many recent UCL battles between the two legendary clubs.
