Kings of Europe

Thousands of fans cheered Bayern Munich's homecoming on Thursday after the team's dramatic Champions League victory over Valencia. Bayern won the European Cup for the first time since 1976 when it beat Valencia 5-4 on penalties after a final that finished 1-1 following extra time. The Germans' hero was Oliver Kahn, who was hailed as the world's best goalkeeper after saving three of Valencia's seven attempts in the shootout.
