Bayern Munich are champions of Europe once again having beaten Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the Champions League final on Sunday.

The Bundesliga giants claimed a narrow victory in Lisbon, with Kingsley Coman heading in the winner against his former club.

Hansi Flick’s first season as Bayern boss has ended in remarkable success, and he currently has a frankly ridiculous win rate of 91.7% as Bayern manager.

Flick will be looking forward to adding Leroy Sane to his Bayern squad, but he will also be fearing losing star midfielder Thiago.

The Spaniard was sensational against PSG, recording a pass accuracy of 88.2% from 85 passes, whilst 10 of his 14 long passes were accurate.

Thiago again showed his class, but he could now leave Bayern this summer, with Liverpool particularly interested in the 29-year-old.

Der Spiegel in Germany claim that Thiago is ‘certain’ to join Liverpool this summer, but the Reds need to come up with the money to tempt Bayern into selling a year before his contract ends.

Now, Flick has told Goal that Thiago doesn’t know himself what he wants to do just yet and will ultimately decide in the ‘next few days’, and even joked that he would like stay at Bayern rather than move on.

“He told me that he would stay [at Bayern],” said Flick. “I just thanked him. I don’t know [where his future lies], he doesn’t know himself yet. We’ll have to wait and see what happens in the next few days,” he added.
