Philipp Lahm captained Bayern Munich to their last Champions League triumph in 2013. AFP/ADRIAN DENNISBERLIN: Philipp Lahm, who captained Bayern Munich to their last European title in 2013, put current head coach Hansi Flick on a par with the club's legendary Champions League-winning bosses Jupp Heynckes and Ottmar Hitzfeld ahead of Sunday's final against Paris Saint-Germain.
"When you look back at FC Bayern's past, at Ottmar Hitzfeld or Jupp Heynckes, it was one of their strengths that they did not hog the limelight, but worked for the team," Lahm told broadcaster ZDF.Heynckes, 75, coached Bayern to the 2013 European title at Wembley, while Hitzfeld, 71, was in charge when they won the 2001 Champions League final by beating Valencia in Milan.
This is Flick's first job in charge of a Bundesliga club, having been assistant coach when Germany won the 2014 World Cup before going on to become sports director of the German FA until 2017. "The team has found itself again," said Lahm,"that's why they are just ahead as favourites" to win Sunday's final.
