PSG did it. For the first time in its history, the Ile-de-France club is in the 2019-2020 Champions League final, a competition which has been the main Parisian objective since 2011 and the arrival of Qatari investors at the club. Already strong in their group of the 1st round, Thomas Tuchel’s men easily took 1st place ahead of Real Madrid, Club Bruges and Galatasaray. It was in the 1/8 final that PSG had its first fear. Beaten in the first leg in Dortmund in a packed Signal Iduna Park (2-1), the Parisians had managed to reverse the trend by winning (2-0) in a Parc des Princes, however empty, because it was forbidden to spectators just before confinement in France. The second took place in the quarterfinals, 10 days ago, for the start of Final 8 in Lisbon. Deprived of Mbappé (back from injury) and Di Maria (suspended) at kickoff, the Parisians were quickly led by Atalanta. Amorphous offensively until the entry of the French prodigy, the band of a Neymar who struggled as best they could have signed a mini-remount in the last 5 minutes (2-1). With the return of Mbappé and Di Maria holders, PSG was however very strong in the semi-final against Leipzig. The Parisians won 3-0 against the German club with a goal from Marquinhos after a free kick from Neymar, a second goal from Di Maria after a poor dismissal from the Leipzig goalkeeper and a third signed Bernat on a somewhat confused action where the Parisian pressing has still served well. Nationally, PSG was perfect, signing the second quadruplet in its history (Ligue 1, Coupe de France, Coupe de la Ligue, and Trophée des Champions).
Big favorite of the Champions League since the spring, even the autumn, Bayern Munich is logically at the rendezvous of this final. After a perfect 1st round (6 wins in 6 games) in a pool including Tottenham, Olympiakos and Red Star Belgrade, the Bavarian club had fun in the final phase, whether against Chelsea, FC Barcelona or Lyon. Victorious with great authority on the lawn of the Blues in a 1 / 8th final first leg played in March before the end of European competitions (0-3), the Bavarians confirmed in a return match played on the restart at the Allianz de Münich (4-1). The Germans then destroyed Barça (8-2) in the quarter-finals, in a single match (8-2). On Wednesday, they were once again very serious (3-0) in the face of the Lyon surprise who had released Juventus and Manchester City previously. Like PSG, Bayern has (almost) been a hit on the national scene this season as the Bavarians won their 30th championship by finishing with a big victory in Wolfsburg (0-4), their 20th German Cup in s’ imposing against Bayer Leverkusen (4-2). On the other hand, the club had lost the German SuperCup to Dortmund but it was at the very start of the season.

The workforce for PSG vs Bayern Munich

Much better offensively and in his team block against Leipzig with the return of Mbappé and Di Maria in front, and the presence of 3 defensive midfielders, Thomas Tuchel should leave with the same starting 11 aligned in 4-3-3. The only uncertainties concern the goalkeeper position and one of the midfielders. Injured against Atalanta, Keylor Navas gave way to Sergio Rico against Leipzig but could return for this grand final. Returning from injury, Marco Verratti played again late in the game against Leipzig, replacing Spaniard Herrera with 10 minutes remaining. PSG medical staff are optimistic about the possibility for the two men to start. But the former Manchester United like Paredes were very good on Tuesday and Tuchel could renew his confidence in them. Remember that the executives Thomas Meunier and Edison Cavani, as well as the young Kouassi, left the club on June 30.
Bayern could be deprived for this final of its central defender Boateng who came out against Lyon following a muscle problem. This should be the only absent Bavarian side apart from the newcomer to the club Leroy Sané who is not allowed to play this end of C1. Against Lyon, Robert Lewandowski scored his 15th goal of the season in the Champions League and the Pole is only 2 lengths from the absolute record for the number of goals scored in a single edition of C1 held by Cristiano Ronaldo.
