European Glory Awaits :- PSG vs Munich

The day has finally come . Coronavirus tried to ruin the party for football fans but can’t . Yes , The final of UEFA Champions League will be played today between Paris Saint Germain and Bayern Munich at Estadio da Luz , Portugal .

It’s a clash of two attacking giants because both teams have super strikers . PSG have Neymar , Mbappe , Icardi and Angel di Maria and Munich have Lewandowski , Gnabry , Perisic and Muller. PSG is looking forward to win their first Champions League and on the other hand Bayern Munich is eyeing for their sixth title .

Let’s see the journey of both the teams this season .

1. Paris Saint Germain

Till date PSG won three titles in 2019-2020 season and looking forward to win Fourth and most prestigious title of their team history .

(A) Ligue 1

Every year PSG are favorites for winning this title as there is less competition compared to other leagues . Before Covid 19 lockdown , PSG were league leader and 12 points ahead of Marseille .

Conditions of France was getting worse at that time and because of that The French League (LFP) has declared PSG as 2019-2020 Ligue 1 champion despite an early end to the season due to the coronavirus pandemic .

(B) French Cup

French Cup final was the first competitive match for PSG after lockdown . This match was played between PSG and St-Etienne on 25th July . PSG were favorites for winning this title and nothing new happened and they won the final by 1-0 and Neymar scored the only goal of the match .

But one bad thing happened for PSG and that thing was , Mbappe got injured and chances of him playing in UCL got lesser .

(C) Coupe de la Ligue

1st August 2020 was the date when PSG continued their season campaign and played the final against Lyon .

For PSG , this match was tough because they don’t have Mbappe on their side. Match went goal less till extra time and PSG won the match by 6-5 which was decided by penalties.

2. Bayern Munich

After winning Bundesliga and DFB Pokal in 2019-2020 season , Bayern Munich wants to complete the treble and finish the season on the high .

(A) Bundesliga

Start of 2019-2020 Bundesliga was not good for Bayern Munich as they lack the form and because of that they sacked the manager Nico Kovac and bring the new manager Hansi Flick on board and the rest is history .

Bayern Munich won the league by 13 points and their biggest rival (Borussia Dortmund) clinched the second spot with 69 points .

(B) DFB Pokal

Bayern Munich played the DFB Pokal final against Bayer Leverkusen on 4th of July 2020 . Looking at both the teams , there was a 50-50 chance of winning for both of them.

Match started and Bayern Munich scored three goals (by Alaba , Gnabry, Lewandowski) under 60 minutes and become favorites to win the title but few minutes later Bayer Leverkusen player (Bender) scored in 63rd minute of the game and tried to score more but Munich defense was rock solid and to seal the victory for Munich , Lewandowski scored again on 89th minute . Second goal came very late for Leverkusen (95th minute) by Kai Havertz .

Who’s Gonna Win Today ?

Predicting the score for today’s final is very tough because both teams have many attacking options . But , according to me , team who will defend well (not park the bus) will win today , team who will gain possession will win the match and team who will score first will win the match .

I am expecting the fire crackers today on the field because , winning UCL is a dream for any team and both the teams have different motives today .

Bayern Munich is looking forward to regain the European Giant tag from other teams Real Madrid , Liverpool , Barcelona etc.

PSG is looking forward to win their first UCL Trophy and want to remove the tag of “Farmer” from them .

At last I want to say that “May the best team win” .
