While you guys bicker about the ownership and plastic and sht, I'd like to see someone give a tactical analysis of how this game could play out
bayern's organization will cause problems for psg, especially in midfield. psg defend well as a unit though. they conceded 2 goal in all of group stages while bayern conceded 5. and only 3 goal in knock out rounds (same as bayern). psg's defense is compact and tight thanks to silva's experience and leadership. but bayern have two goal scoring monsters in gnabry and lewa in this competition that would cause problems for any defense.
where psg can shine is through individual brilliance and blistering pace and ball control. they have 3 players that can change a game in a moment in neymar, mbappe, di maria. no matter how good your game plan is it's hard to defend against a player like neymar who can dribble past 3 players in a flash. psg are also threat from set pieces thanks to di maria and neymar. more so than bayern
now it might seem like psg could be nervous since it's their first final, but they do benefit from having players that played in important finals before. di maria, navas and neymar are all CL finalists and winners. mbappe was a finalist and winner in WC. so you get 4 key players experienced under pressure at highest level. thats big.
bayern have muller and boaetang as a cl finalist and winners + world cup winners. they have lewa who was cl finalist with dortmund and pavard as wc finalist and winner. rest of first team player never played in cl final. so i would say nervousness of both teams should be equal.
i think what will happen is bayern will try to take control of the match early on to end game early and psg will try and exploit bayern slow centre backs using quick one-two passes and directly running at them with ball.
