Here we go! The biggest game in European football reaches its climax as PSG take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League final in Lisbon on Sunday evening (kick off 8pm).
Both these teams are without doubt among Europe’s elite so it seems a surprise that this is PSG’s first time in the Champions League final.
With a squad oozing quality for many years now, PSG have flattered to deceive somewhat in the knockout stages when tipped for bigger things but now is their chance to make history.
They have a team with star-studded players running through it and they have a real opportunity to make their debut final a winning one.
However, they are locking horns with a European heavyweight in Bayern Munich, who couldn’t have been more impressive over the last three rounds.
Munich have no obvious weakness but coming up against a side who possess threats across the pitch will ensure that this game could be an absolute classic!
PSG vs Bayern Munich Predictions
Would many fans and pundits have tipped this as a final? Maybe not but with the record Munich have in this tournament, you would expect them to make it far. PSG have always had the talent but now that potential is being realised.
Whatever happens, it is a clash you won’t want to miss. Both clubs have dominated the domestic scene for many seasons now and with the likes of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry on show, it should make for brilliant entertainment.
PSG have shown real guts to reach the final. They scored a dramatic late-winner to get past Atalanta in the quarter-finals before easing past RB Leipzig 3-0 in the semis.
Bayern have demolished the best around. They walloped Chelsea 7-1 on aggregate in the quarter-finals, absolutely trounced Barcelona 8-2 in the quarters and cruised past Lyon in the semi-finals.
A repeat of those performances will make Munich very hard to beat, even if PSG are at their best. We expect goals but we also expect a comfortable win for the German side.
