Bayern v PSG: Kingsley Coman reveals who he’s backing | OneFootball

He knows both clubs like few others: Kingsley Coman, once the Parisian homegrown talent and later the Champions League hero for FC Bayern, is following the renewed clash of his former clubs from afar this time – and has now revealed who he will be rooting for on Tuesday evening.

The French winger, who left FC Bayern for Al-Nassr last summer, looks back on a dynamic past with both clubs. Trained in the youth academy of Paris Saint-Germain, he celebrated his greatest successes in Munich from 2015 onwards – including the victory in the 2020 Champions League final, when he made history with his decisive goal against his training club.

In an interview with Le Parisien, the 29-year-old openly admitted that choosing between both beloved clubs is difficult for him.

“Now that I no longer play for Bayern, I say: Go Paris!” joked Coman – only to quickly correct himself: “Oh no (laughs). I have more friends at Bayern than at PSG, so I will support Bayern on Tuesday. I spent so much time in Munich… Of course, I was trained in Paris, that's my favorite club. But I played ten seasons at FC Bayern and played against PSG so often that I had to gain some distance.”

Few players embody the sporting rivalry between both clubs as much as Kingsley Coman. In nine duels against PSG, he wore the Bayern jersey – more than in any other match outside the Bundesliga. His winning goal in the 2020 Lisbon final, which secured Munich their sixth European Cup in club history, remains particularly unforgettable.

Although he will only be watching the Champions League match between PSG and Bayern as a spectator this time, Coman is visibly excited – and makes no secret of the fact that his sympathies, despite his Parisian roots, still lie in Munich.
