It’s the big night for PSG. A few hours after celebrating its 50th anniversary, the capital club plays the first Champions League final in its history, in Lisbon (a meeting to follow live commented on FM at 9 p.m.). The task promises to be difficult since in front of it stands a giant of Europe, Bayern Munich, already winner of 5 times in the most prestigious of European competitions. To register its name for the first time on the prize list, the French club had above all to choose its eleven holders.

Paris Saint Germain
Thomas Tuchel had two alternatives, to start with or without Marco Verratti. The German technician decides to leave the Italian on the bench at kick-off. He lines up 10 of the 11 RB Leipzig winners in the previous round and can count on the return of his usual holder in the goal, Keylor Navas. In the 4-3-3, Thilo Kherer and Juan Bernat surround the hinge Thiago Silva–Presnel Kimpembe. The environment is therefore composed ofAnder Herrera, Marquinhos and Leandro Paredes. In front of, Neymar and Angel Di Maria will be responsible for supporting Kylian Mbappé.
Bayern Munich
Opposite, Bayern Munich also barely innovates. The German champion comes in 4-2-3-1 with 10 of the 11 OL winners in the middle of the week. Manuel Neuer guard the goal with a defense in front of him consisting of Joshua Kimmich, Jerome Boateng, David Alaba and Alphonso Davies. This is the duo Thiago Alcantara–Leon Goretzka which is again aligned in the middle. In the offensive sector, the surprise comes from the presence of Kingsley Coman preferred to Perisic on the left side, while the elusive Serge Gnabry is present on the right. The serial ferryman Thomas Müller is established in support of Robert Lewandowski, the current top scorer in the competition with 15 goals.
Team compositions:
PSG: Navas – Kherer, Thiago Silva, Kimpembe, Bernat – Herrera, Marquinhos, Walls – Di Maria, Mbappé, Neymar
Bayern : Neuer – Kimmich, Boateng, Alaba, Davies – Goretzka, Thiago Alcantara – Gnabry, Müller, Coman – Lewandowski
