Analysis Of PSG Vs Bayern Munich:
The way Bayern is playing at this moment, probably Paris Saint Germain are the only team who can beat this side. The only reason behind it might be the high backline of Bayern Munich. The pace of the attacking trio of PSG will surely give some trouble to the central defenders of Bayern. We have seen in the quarter-final and semifinal that the opponents have created a good number of opportunities against them. However, they have not been able to convert those chances against Bayern Munich. Otherwise, the result would have been different.
However, there are few areas where Bayern are ahead of Paris Saint-Germain in this match. The high pressing of Bayern will cause some problems to Paris Saint Germain. The midfield is the weakest area of Paris Saint-Germain. It is very much unlikely that Veratti will start in this match after missing the previous two games. Idrissa Gueye will also not be there as he is injured at this moment. So, Leandro Paredes and Ander Herrera will have to play their A-game to counter the high pressing of Bayern. Joshua Kimmich and Alphonso Davies will also test Bernat and Kehrer continuously. The bench strength of Bayern Munich can also be a crucial factor in this game.
The individual brilliance of the front three of Paris Saint Germain can change the colour of the game any day. That’s why Paris Saint Germain might have the edge over Bayern Munich in this final of the Champions League.
