BAYERN MUNICH VS PARIS SAINT GERMAIN : COMBINED 11



It's heating up in Lisbon as the UEFA Champions League approaches its finale. The topsy-turvy 2019-20 season is concluding and what a season it has been. We thought it’d be fun to look at Paris Saint Germain and FC Bayern Munchen, the teams fighting it out for the coveted prize, and create a best eleven of players from both teams. We are going with the popular 4-3-3 formation. This is about to spark some debate. 


GOALKEEPER


MANUEL NEUER



With Keylor Navas not having played the semi-final due to an injury, Neuer was the obvious choice in goal. He has redeemed himself after a poor 2018 World Cup and a sub-par 2018-19 season. So the German number one is between the sticks for us.


DEFENDERS


JOSHUA KIMMICH



One of the most versatile players in the squad, Kimmich can play both at Right Back and Central Midfield. He is not very pacy but is technically very sound. He chips in with goals like the one against Barcelona. Kimmich makes the right back spot his own in our team.


THIAGO SILVA



The Paris Saint Germain captain has been a rock at the back for the French champions. He is a ball playing centre back and is underrated. The Brazilian will be looking to make history come Sunday by becoming the first PSG captain to lift the Champions League. 


DAVID ALABA



David Alaba isn’t exactly a centre-back, or that’s what we thought until this season that is. Amidst a crisis of centre-backs in the Bayern setup, the Austrian has stepped up and proven his doubters wrong. This brings forth the versatility he possesses. Although he has made a few mistakes, like finding the back of his own net against Barcelona in the quarter final, but overall he has done a pretty decent job.


ALPHONSO DAVIES



If you were expecting someone else at  left back then maybe you haven’t seen this Canadian roadrunner wreck havoc. His performances speak for him.  He has laid down a very strong case to be the best left back in the world currently. Insane pace, pinpoint crosses and some brilliant tracking back is what makes him so special. 


MIDFIELDERS


MARQUINHOS



Paris’s Brazilian central defensive midfielder has been a fixed presence in the midfield for Thomas Tuchel, who has rotated the other two midfield positions as per match requirements. He has also chipped in with important goals, such as the equaliser against Atalanta. He will be one of the most important players on the pitch come Sunday, where he will come up against a star-studded Bayern attack.


THOMAS MUELLER



The Raumdeuter picks himself in our team and we don’t think his inclusion needs any explanation. The German has been on fire throughout the season. He has kept up brilliant levels of consistency in a very long and hard season. Be it setting up the ones ahead of him or be it finding the back of the net, Mueller has been involved, stacking up insane statistics.


ANGEL DI MARIA



The Manchester United flop (yes you read that right!), is back for a Champions League final in Lisbon. The last time he played a Champions League final there, he starred for Real Madrid as they won La Decima. He was the man of the match in the semi-final as well. He starts in midfield for our team.


FORWARDS


NEYMAR 



On the left wing, it was a toss-up between two of Paris’s most important players - Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe might have had a statistically better season but in the last few matches, Neymar has set fire on the pitch. He has matured as a footballer and has adjusted his game according to the requirements of the team. He drops in between the line and draws defenders out, freeing up space in the process for his teammates to run into. 


ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI



It would be a crime to leave him out, won’t it. The star man up front for the Bavarians has had a stellar season. Many fans are of the opinion that if the Ballon d’or wasn’t cancelled then the Pole would have won it, and actually they aren’t wrong. There has hardly been a match where the Polish star hasn’t hit the back of the net. His selection to this team is a no-brainer.



SERGE GNABRY



Another Premier League flop makes our team. His progression would definitely confuse the likes of Arsene Wenger and Tony Pulis. Hansi Flick has turned him into a beast. He, statistically, has had a season to remember. His consistency has been on par with the best players in the world. He will be the right winger in our team.

VAR: Boon or Bane?

  Ever since its introduction, VAR has sparked controversies all around the globe. While it was believed before its introduction that it would reduce the human errors and provide the referees a second chance to rectify their mistakes, it now has left us pondering whether technology intervention was required in the first place.      The good point is that no foul committed can possibly go unnoticed but the disadvantages are far more with the most disturbing being it stops the flow of the game every now and then and this doesn’t augur well for the beautiful game as the frequent stoppages are disturbing both for the players and the audiences. By this time, we already know there have been a record number of penalties awarded in this season’s Premier League and credit goes to VAR for awarding them without much hesitation. For the first time ever we saw a team score after the final whistle. Yes, you heard that right. Manchester United’ s game against Brighton was completed...

EL CLASICO : PREVIEW

As Camp Nou gets ready to host the first Clasico of the season, both clubs in their own rebuilding phase will look to get one over their arch rivals. Both clubs have had rather inconsistent starts to the season, by their lofty standards. With the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, this fixture has somewhat lost its glory but the political reasons behind the rivalry will continue to fuel this fixture.  FC Barcelona have come from a nightmare season,not winning any trophy and conceding 8 against Bayern Munich. With renewed hope, under Dutch boss Ronald Koeman, they have started pretty poorly in La Liga, winning two of their four matches. Although it is very early in the season, Barcelona are languishing at tenth in the table. With all the behind the scenes drama, they have coped pretty well. Lionel Messi will be their star man as usual. Coutinho has done well on his return to the club. Griezmann hasn’t yet found his feet in Catalonia. All eyes would be on Gerrard Pique, who got a red ca...

Manchester City VS Arsenal : Preview

In recent times, not too often Arsenal have had the upper hand versus Pep’s City. Given City’s inconsistency early on in the season with their solitary win from 3 games coming against Wolves, City are not too high on confidence and have been a poor reflection of themselves from their previous seasons. The loss against Leicester was embarrassing with their defenders leaking out as many as 3 penalties and Pep’s emphasis on improving the defence continuously somewhat seems justified as City spent over 100m euros only on defenders this season.          Arsenal on the other hand have looked like a well oiled machine with all their new recruits, Arsenal and Gabriel fitting in the team in no time. Their only loss came against the defending champions, Liverpool. Arsenal will look to carry the momentum from their previous win against Sheffield United. What’s more encouraging for Arsenal is that apart from their club captain and prolific goalscorer being am...
