"Perhaps Thomas's shout after the goal. I'm 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. You're only focused on the ball, on the player crossing, on your opponent, and your teammates."
"No, it all happens far too quickly. It's not like in a movie where time stands still and you think: Now's my moment. You don't have time to think, you just run to where you think the ball might go - and suddenly it's there. Headers were never my strongest point. So I just wanted to hit it as cleanly as possible."
"This very weakness helped me fulfill my biggest dream. It's 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 aren't among your greatest strengths."
In the 2020 Champions League final, Coman vividly recalls the moment he scored, emphasizing the focus on the ball and the play rather than external sounds. He did not anticipate the goal, as everything happened too quickly. Despite heading not being his strongest skill, he executed the play effectively, demonstrating that determination and self-belief can lead to success in critical moments. This experience highlights the beauty of overcoming weaknesses to achieve significant dreams.
