Breaking the silence beating a drum, his Bayern Munich jersey replaced by a “Champions of Europe'' T-shirt, Joshua Kimmich wanted to savor the scene of glory. Just as it was for so much of a first Champions League final played without fans. The Frenchman netted a 43rd goal of a perfect European campaign that has seen Bayern become the first team to win all 11 Champions League matches. The European Cup will join the Bundesliga trophy – won for an eighth successive season _ and the German Cup at Bayern. Bayern joins deposed champion Liverpool as six-time champions of Europe, only behind AC Milan (seven) and Real Madrid (13).
