UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL : PREVIEW

 The UEFA Champions League Final is set: Can Paris Saint Germain stop Bayern Munich? - Opera News

Bayern Munich and PSG meet in Europe's most prestigious competition final in Lisbon on Sunday. Both teams having won all domestic crowns on offer, are gunning to flaunt an illustrious treble for the season. With both squads bragging such destructive attacking talent, the game might be decided by the team who defends better. A first Champions League final for PSG, who seem to finally reap the dividends of spending millions, against an accomplished Bayern side, looking for their 6th Champions League, the stage is set for a jaw dropping game.

PLAYERS TO MISS OUT

PSG

PSG : Navas toujours aux soins, Kurzawa de retour - Le Parisien

Laywin Kurzawa is still out due to a thigh injury. First choice keeper Keylor Navas is also doubtful after straining his hamstring in the quarter final against Atalanta. Idrissa Gueye is out with a thigh injury as well, Marco Verrati looks most likely to replace him.

BAYERN MUNICH

Bayern have a full strength squad barring a thigh injury to veteran Jerome Boateng who may miss the summit clash. 

 

PLAYER TO WATCH OUT FOR

PSG

NEYMAR

Neymar joined PSG for Champions League moments like this

The world's most expensive player finally, at long long last seems to have crawled out of Messi's shadow at Barça, and has stepped up to his outrageous price tag, rolling PSG into their first continental final ever. Needless to say, he is one the best players around, but this man plays football like he's running his own show. Hollywood tricks and destroying the career of defenders are his habit. His attitude has changed, and he looks much more like a team man now, tracking back and helping out his fellow mates. The mighty Ibrahimovic, couldn't do it, but it looks the Brazilian showman might just take the French side all the way.

ANGEL DI MARIA

Angel Di Maria scores as PSG make Champions League final | Mundo ...

The man of the match of the iconic "La Decima" with Real Madrid 6 years ago, the Argentine wizard has not lost his Midas touch yet. Scoring one and setting up 2 in the semi finals victory against Leipzig, he put a postage stamp on how permanent his class is. His vision, unselfishness, and that peach of a left boot haven't faded with time. The trident of him, Neymar and Mbappe is always a nightmare for any defence in the world.

 

BAYERN MUNICH

ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI

Lewandowski makes Bundesliga history with nine-game scoring streak ...

Dubbed as "Lewan-goal-ski" by Thomas Müller, he has undoubtedly been an unparalleled force going forward. He's not just a goalscorer, he finds neat passes for his teammates and puts in a crazy shift everytime he takes the field. His numbers are even more staggering than his past seasons, with 55 goals to his name in all competitions. 15 goals in just 9 appearances in the UCL puts him on course of breaking Cristiano Ronaldo's record of 17 goals for a single campaign. Can he do it for one last time this year?

SERGE GNABRY

Is Serge Gnabry world class? Bayern Munich's ace compared to Salah ...

The German winger has found his home at Bayern. Unstoppable in the semi-final, he will be gunning to get to on the scoresheet again. Blistering pace, strength to shake off defenders while carrying the ball forward, and the ability to finish superbly with both feet make him deserving to be called one for the top wingers on the globe right now. The left footed top bins strike against Lyon? Goosebumps.

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...

Barcelona V/S Napoli : Preview

With the dishonour of going trophyless for the first time since 2007-08 looming large, winning the UCL after 5 years will easily rub off the pain of not winning the La liga and their below par performances during the later stages of the competition, over the years. Having said that, the task on hand is no piece of cake as they face a stubborn Napoli side, inspired by Gennaro Gattuso who can outrival any side on their day. Their strike force is deadly to say the least. Insigne, Mertens, Lozano, Milik, Callejon, Politano can wreck havoc across defences, more so when Barca has a very poor record defensively of late. Napoli  had the most possession(59%) and the most passes in the Serie A, were the Coppa Italia champions and they were the unbeaten team in their group despite being on the same pool with defending champions, Liverpool.  Players missing out- FC Barcelona Missing out influential midfielder, Sergio Busquets and Arturo Vidal through suspension will be a cause of headach...

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...
