***FCBayern.com: Everyone remembers the image of your header in the 2020 Champions League final against PSG. When you think back to the seconds before the goal: What small moment â ââa run, a glance, a thought, a shout â has stayed with you most vividly?***
Coman: âPerhaps Thomasâs shout after the goal. Iâm not sure if I actually heard it. I remember more the moment I opened my eyes and saw that the ball was in. It was during the pandemic, so there were no fans in the stadium. But even if there are sounds: In a moment like that, you hardly notice them. Youâre only focused on the ball, on the player crossing, on your opponent, and your teammates. I wanted to be as focused as possible in every situation.â
***FCBayern.com:* Did you know when the ball came that it could be your moment?**
Coman: âNo, it all happens far too quickly. Itâs not like in a movie where time stands still and you think: Nowâs my moment. You donât have time to think, you just run to where you think the ball might go â and suddenly itâs there. Headers were never my strongest point. So I just wanted to hit it as cleanly as possible. The execution might not have been textbook, but the ball went exactly where it needed to go, with the necessary force. In the end, thatâs all that matters.â
***FCBayern.com: You say that heading the ball was never your strongest skill. Yet it was precisely such a moment that landed you in the FC Bayern history books. What does that tell you about big games today?***
âItâs almost a strange situation. This very weakness helped me fulfill my biggest dream. Itâs a beautiful contrast. For me, it shows that with focus, courage, and belief in yourself, you can achieve things on the biggest stage, even if they arenât among your greatest strengths. That will always make me smile.â *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributorâŚ*
