Hoping PSG wins. Neymar deserves some recognition.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Im not convinced by Munich's defensive high line. I think they will change this tactic because of Mbappe, but that will present its own challenge, as they won't be used to it.
PSG to win 3-2
PSG to win 3-2
I think he's getting plenty lately.
Very anonymous since a long time, but ever since he dribbled past a few Atalanta players the hype train is at full speed again.
And he already won in 2015
If someone on that pitch deserves his first trophy it's Lewandowski.
Anyways, not even looking at the players, a club like PSG should never win that trophy. Chelsea was bad, but PSG would be 50x worse.
The bookies are clearly trying to take advantage of the fact Bayern are overwhelming favorites. Every man and his dog (that bets) will be putting money on a Bayern win.
Mbappe himself stated he isn't in peak condition, but he'll try his best.
Question marks over Verrati's sharpness
Keylor Navas missed the semi final, concerns if he'll be able to start tonight
Neymar's shooting boots. Could've had 7 in the last three games alone. Those misses could be decisive against an opposition of this caliber.
Have PSG win winning 4-2. Balance has always been more important in sports than offensive capabilities. Also don't see what the Bayern front 2 would have for the PSG central defence. Gnabry should have a big game because Bernat isn't a great player defensively. This is a match up nightmare for Bayern and I don't see what they can do about it.
Psg is probably the only team in the world that I could see hurting Bayern
I'm actually in an awkward position for this game. Normally I have a team I would prefer to see win but that's not the case here. I don't give a stuff who wins. Either team winning is a good story for me.
A new name on the Champions League trophy is no bad thing and I have a high regard for the job Hansi Flick has done since Niki Kovac got the flick.

Yeah I agree, I think PSG have a decent chance tonight tbf.
Liverpool, City, Real Madrid, Man United!
Agreed, there's always a chance in a final, and what better way to make history by beating Bayern whilst not at full strength
Liverpool. That high line would get destroyed. Pool were unlucky in that they came up against Atletico
Liverpool and that's about it imo.
City are too vulnerable in defense and way worse than Bayern taking their chances.
Real Madrid are very mediocre.
Manchester United? Different class.
Could hurt the defensive weakness from Bayern though. Lyon did too apart from not taking the big chances they had.
Being able to stop the Bayern attack is much harder. I don't think PSG will do that.
Prefer Bayern but have no idea who will win. Only time I've watched PSG in the past 3 or 4 years was against United, don't remember watching Bayern at all in that time.
I think Bayern are big favorite.
Just been confirmed that Verrati will not start
Here's my bets. Hoping for a big Bayern win with PSG scoring the final goal.

For me, they have to have won their domestic league, too, which both have done here.
Nice. 3/4 of those are extremely likely. Just a case if PSG can get a consolation goal to make it 4/4. Bayern don't exactly take it easy when they have a winning margin
I think this has the potential to be the best Champions League final of all time. Two clubs filled with superstars and seemingly only attack-minded systems that both play
Fancy Bayern just but should be a cracking game compared to that shite we had last season.
3-2 Bayern

Paddy power offering free five pound bet, stuck mine on the draw.
Bayern are going to destroy PSG.
I hope for penalties at last. We still have not had any penalties in any of the games so far.
Think Bayern will win it though. They are so deadly in attack both at taking the chances and creating them. Neymar waste too many chances for PSG, which is going to hurt them tonight.

I'm just happy that I can relax watching the CL final this year without worrying too much who wins it.
LIke most people I'm expecting a lot of goals, would go 4-2 Bayern.
Mbappe could punish their high line and I don't think a final is the time to change strategy so it is there for them if they can find the balls over the top.
Lewa is a force of nature this year, in the conversation for the Balon d'or, if he gets the winning goal could put him over the top.
I think the Poll needed a fifth option: Don't mind who wins it.

We can't even beat Sevilla and you think we can get past Bayern? Real Madrid has no chance against Bayern this season and Man City is still tactically too inexperienced and naive in Europe. Only team out of that 4 I see having a chance to beat Bayern is Liverpool and even that is debatable due to their loss of form and motivation after winning the league.
You’re deluded mate if you think we’re near their level yet
Do you move about? Weren't you somewhere else?
We would not be favorites at all, but our speed could really hurt the defense they have. That was the question I answered about teams that could hurt them.
Want PSG to win it. Neymar deserves one and I would be happy to see Ander going crazy.
But I think Bayern will batter them.

I want and think PSG will win it. I'm hoping it's an exciting game but have a feeling it won't be, since all the pundits are convinced it's a game for the ages and they usually always get it wrong.
Aw, disappointed about Verratti, but at least that means Herrera will play.
I did say (like every year) that as long as its not City or Liverpool winning I dont care who wins. So nice being neutral.
That being said I detest Bayern and couldnt care less about PSG so out of the two I wouldnt be against PSG winning. But then again if Bayern win they win, it will make no odds to me.
But still think Bayern will destroy them.

Bayern for definite even if it puts them on 6. Don’t want any of these oil clubs to win a single one.
Would just like a good game and may the best team win.
I don't like PSG and the like but don't want to see any team lift the trophy and really more concerned about United not getting to a final for a long time. Any team lifting the trophy while we don't take part is not good and right now it feels very open, two French and two German teams, PSG the R16 quarter final team find themselves in a final. When we had our good spell we faced probably the best team of all time and we're nowhere now it's up for grabs with Europe in a funk.
When Abu Dhabi and Chelsea win the PL it barely registers with me, rather them than Liverpool and automatically put an asterisk there. I somehow feel that with PSG now in the CL.
Will be interesting to see how Bayern play against PSG, with the Barca game it could've 3-3 or 4-4 early on.

Many people (including me) have said that PSG can hurt the Bayern defence due to their sheer star quality in attack but I'm beginning to feel that this may be more one sided than all of us want it to be. Generally the better all round team trump's individualism. And I don't think PSG are anything great as a collective. They don't across as a proper "treble" team, although their Quadrupal and Bayern's treble would be heavily influenced by the level of the league's. Still, can't shake this feeling that PSG haven't shown the quality of a top European TEAM.
Sorry mate - what do you mean?
It's the location. I just got it in my head you lived somewhere else. It's a slow day.
haha nah for my sins I'm stuck in Derby - it's a dump but we avoid the city centre (pre-COVID too!)
Bayern’s high line v Mbappe and Co....
*shudders*
Bayern may be favourites and the slightly better team, but there’s no way on earth PSG should be 2/1 (and higher in some bookies) to win tonight. PSG are capable of embarrassing any team in the world when they are on it and I strongly fancy them to win their first European Cup tonight. The fixture - and build-up to be honest - just has that history-making ‘feel’ about it for some reason. Really looking forward to it either way.
