Two years ago Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman was publicly contemplating ending his career at the age of 22 with a string of injuries keeping him out of football for months on end.

But on Sunday Coman, one of the most gifted French players of his generation, scored the winner in Bayern's 1-0 victory over Paris St Germain to help the Germans lift the Champions League trophy at Lisbon's Estadio da Luz and complete a treble of titles.
