PSG won't win against Bayern.
They are not even close...

1) Their road to the this final, after group stage, was: dortmund, atalanta, leipzig. (It's maybe the easiest ever since RM's ridiculous road in 2016)
Who is the hardest they faced? Atalanta. Who they were trailing until 89th minute.
Have they faced any big club? (the ones they usually bottle against? Like Barca, Real, United etc) No!

2) From a pure squad quality and tactical pov they need a miracle.
Yes, they can hit with pace Bayern's defense. But, Bayern will not play a high line like against Barca AND
They cannot cope at all with Bayern attacking and pressing with intensity

They haven't bottled against Real.
And United game was not big, even Dortmund was better this year.

+ for what it's worth, they got 4 out of 6 points vs Real in groups while coming back from 0-2 down at Bernabeu.

It's amazing how good work rate someone like DiMaria has. Puts to shame almost any Barca player.

Pretty sure Bayern will win it. I think the argument of mental fortitude that people bring up is a valid one. How will PSG deal being behind against a team like Bayern? Cave in? Yes they overturned it against Atalanta but Atalanta didnt have legs anymore final half hour.

Bayern's defense is overrated imO. Even this barca could have scored 3-4 goals and PSG looked much better yesterday. The Overturn against Atalanta gave them huge confidence which probably became bigger because of the win yesterday. If Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria on fire everything is possible.

Yes,Bayern can be hurt by running behind their defense. Even we tried that but with one legged Suarez it won't work. Neymar and Mbappe different case. I think those two will give nightmares to Bayern defense.

Well, he hasnt been doing much so far in the knockouts, so it would be about time he did something, instead of letting Chom-pong or whatever scoring the goals he should be scoring.
Yes, he was injuried for a while, so there is always that to explain his lack of danger in the final third, i guess.

To be honest, Leipzig played like some lower/mid tier Ligue 1 club. Their first half was terrible. Lagging behind on the scoreboard but sitting in their own half of the pitch, not putting a lot of pressure on our midfield.

They made us look better than we are. Kinda disappointed by them.

Then again, they are playing Nkunku who was a bench player for us. The difference in quality was evident. Bayern has more than enough quality.

It would be tragic if Lyon won today. It would be handing PSG the CL trophy lmao.

Bayern vs PSG is a proper final. Bayern are a complete team but I actually think PSG could really expose that backline of Bayern with their pace. Hell even our shit team caused their backline problems multiple times in the match.

Still want Bayern out as early as possible. Don't see Lyon having more than a 1% chance today but would be sweet retribution for those arrogant Bavarians to go home to French farmers themselves.

I find arrogance less irritating if it can be backed up

It's one thing for fans to be arrogant. No one has an issue with that. Another for players and every level of their management to be.

Not to mention they like commenting disparagingly on the affairs of other clubs when they have the likes of Hoeness at the helm.

Barca and RM in their CL heyday didn't behave like this.
