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.

Manchester United VS Chelsea : Preview

    Manchester United welcome Chelsea to the Theatre of Dreams. This fixture brings back memories of Frank Lampard’s first match as Chelsea manager when Ole’s reds smashed the blues 4-0. A lot has happened since for both teams but the circumstances leading up to the game are somewhat similar. Manchester United are inconsistent as they had been. Similarly, Chelsea are a team which is trying to find their feet and sort themselves out.  Manchester United, in their midweek Champions League clash against Paris Saint Germain, won via a late Marcus Rashford goal(yes, again!). Manchester United have been wildly inconsistent in the Premier League so far, and have not won two games in a row. They destroyed Newcastle 4-1 at St. James’s Park in their last match but in their previous fixture, Tottenham decimated them 6-1 at home. Their defence, which has been suspect even after expensive reinforcements, somehow conceded only one goal at the hands of Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria, which ...

Mohun Bagan: The Champions of I-League

Mohun Bagan Athletic Club, one of the oldest clubs in Asia in the space of a calendar year, transformed subpar performances and doubt into victory and jubilation. A script, so perfectly written, that they won the I-League title in the last match before the lockdown was imposed. I remember reading a newspaper article just before the first Calcutta Football League derby, about how rivals East Bengal were the much better side and the fact that Mohun Bagan could only pin their hopes on Spaniard Joseba Beitia if they had to get anything out of the game. In front of a full-house at the Salt Lake Stadium, the Mariners turned in a performance which gave confidence to the fans. They drew the match but created chances at will. This performance made the fans believe.  The managerial genius, that was Kibu Vicuna worked wonders with players like Joseba Beita, Fran Gonzalez, Fran Morante, Papa Diawara, Komron Tursonov and the Indian players.They created magic on the pitch. They stuck to possessi...

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...
