UEFA Champions League Final 2020: PSG vs Bayern Munich

Farmers League vs Bundesfodder

sportzcy vs Hans

Nerman vs Lewa

what a time to be alive

Never thought there would come a day when I supported Bayern... but PSG winning would be a travesty for football.

Hope Paredes and Dima have great games tho

If PSG wins and Paredes has a good performance the bump on my thread >>>

Don't let me down Nerman.

Perisic vs Icardi = forza Perisic

Thankfully that's not all that is to it. The only thing you can really count on Lewa in these matches is to draw defenders.

It will come down to PSG containing the fullbacks and Bayern containing PSG's front 3... whoever gets the better of these two battles wins the game imo.

I think Marquinhos and Paredes will be 2 of the CMs to cover the wings with the fullbacks.  Verratti will get the middle.  Di Maria/Neymar/Mbappe on the attack.

Basically the same side as the semis except Herrera and maybe Bernat.  I think Mitchel Bakker will get a look at LB. He was excellent in the games before the CL.

Rooting for my compatriot Phonzie Davies, biggest challenge of his career, he will be up to it

Couple of debates recently about PSG-Qatar, is it legit or not compared to other rich clubs. Good arguments on both sides, but i maintain my opinion: screw them

You think Paredes will start? Have a sneaky feeling Tuchel will play Ander-Marquinhos-Verrati instead, despite Paredes' good performances against BVB, Atalanta, and RBL.

I don't think so. Herrera isn't a big favorite of his and Paredes is more defensive, which he needs.

Bayern is just stronger faster and tactically better all round. I guess Neymar and Mbappe can win u any game, and PSG will probably need to play a bit like Lyon, defend a lot and counter fast. They certainly have a chance which Lyon did early on but they just lacked the star qualities up front so badly. Bayern also showed they arent perfect still, such a high line and quite many mistakes vs Lyon and Mbappe and Neymar will be happy to take advantage of them. I wonder if Bayern will play more cautious vs PSG?

Bayern big favourites but PSG with a small chance.

juicy final !
If there is anyone who can make difference its going to be PSG front 3 and Silva at the back.
Otherwise all Bayern needs to do is keep good ball possession and dont loose for PSG to launch counterattack

still think Bayern will win though in the end

Rooting for PSG

Well one thing is clear if play like we did against Lyon or like we started against Barca we are not winning this

Loving the early excuses

but in seriousness, I can't see Bayern playing like that all game, they just have to hope PSG don't capitilise on it if they do have a poor period.

PSG should sit back and counter
Judging by their performance vs Atalanta they will smart enough not to fall into trap and keep it more direct when they have to

Bayern seemed vulnerable on counter, if PSG can capitalize on that moment of weakness it will be interesting. Lyon completely failed to sting Bayern when the opportunity arose.

Phonzie needs to improve defensively.

This looks like it will be a fantastic match. Bayern are better overall but as everyone has said, PSG has what it takes to exploit their weaknesses. Really looking forward to it.

Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh to Muslim
& Good day to the rest

I support Psg to win it
for the first time,
Insha Allah.

Sorry, Hans

Davies has so much pace, but it masks his lack of defensive positioning. Typical for a fullback with that type of ability to recover when out of position. Mbappe has the edge there if we see him come down that flank.

What a final send off match for Thiago Silva as well. Lewa has been unstoppable so I don't see him, Kimpembe and Marquinhos keeping him off the scoresheet. Then there's also Gnabry.

Bayern got this. I just hope PSG make it entertaining.

I'm just hoping for a high scoreline, 4-3 or something to keep us entertained and also to be very close toward the very end and not one-sided like the rest of the match-ups.
