After succeeding in the Bundesliga and in the DFB Cup, FC Bayern München has also won the UEFA Champions League and thus made the “treble” perfect. FC Bayern won the final against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday with an 1:0 victory.
DFL CEO Christian Seifert congratulates: “Hansi Flick and his team deserve the highest respect for their impressive performances over the past few months and their victory over Paris Saint-Germain. In this unusual year, there were different periods of time between the respective national seasons and the Champions League final tournament, and it was exciting to see how the clubs from the different leagues have dealt with this situation. FC Bayern found its own way – and simply carried on as if there had been no break at all. It is great news for the Bundesliga that two German teams made it to the Champions League semi-finals and that one of them ultimately won the competition. And it is an outstanding achievement to win the treble twice in just seven years. My congratulations to those representing FC Bayern München; the players, the coaching staff and to everyone associated with the club.”
