Well deserved for Bayern. Dominated most of this one and for the entirety of the tournament.

The way they play brings back memories of 1999 and before. A simple 4-4-2 with the entire team attacking and defending in tandem. Right down to the last man.

Wingers stay wingers. None of this inverted cutting inside nonsense. They stayed wide and the first priority was to get the ball in the box to the two strikers or beat their defender in doing so. Coman just glided past his fullback beautifully.

Fullbacks also kept the width and none of this coming into midfield nonsense. They were both capable of crossing and kept their defensive discipline at all times.

Two strikers in the box and always occupying the Centrebacks. Worked hard off the ball to win it back and never gave them a chance to build from the back.

Two central midfielders (gasp) dominating and playing direct passes to the wings and upfront as quickly as possible. No need to play 300 back passes to the defence and goalie go keep possession.

Reminds me of a time when we were capable of similar on a weekly basis. Kudos to Bayern for bringing excellent football back to the champs league.

Dreadful in what sense? Theres been lots happening...
Missed chances, over hit passes, referee.... Stonewall Pen on Lewa and they didn't even review and more.

Amazing lack of quality in final third given players on display. Pressure got to all the forwards ?

What a performance by Neuer, reckon Mbappe onside as ball was played by Bayern player.

So happy PSG mega spending fell to Bayern team that cost less than €100m. Bayern show how it should be done.

Ed’s fortnightly email to Coman asking him to come on loan is going straight into the spam folder now.

“They call him King, that’s his nickname round the ground he played like a young king tonight.”

Owen they call him that because his name is Kingsley....

I know he gets judged more harshly because we know what he's capable of, Neymar though...

...right?
Didn't really care about the outcome of this final until I saw him diving two times within 5 minutes. He can do one. Little scrote.

PSG prove the old adage that at top level football, there is no point creating clear chances unless your strikers can guarantee they will score.

Given the hype and status, Neymar and Mbappe misses are unforgivable, especially when you commit such profligacy against a top level German team.

In the end, PSG didn’t deserve to win, as opposed as Munich playing a blinder and winning the game.

Thought a side of Bayerns quality and form would win by more than 1-0. A timely reminder Man United under a so called PE teacher beat PSG in Paris last year 3-1 ;)

PSG should have put at least one of the chances away. Bayern dominated possession, PSG had the better chances.

Only last year when pool beat Bayern everyone was on about how much work Bayern needs to do for a rebuild.

They brought Perisic, Coutinho, Hernandez. None started tonight.

Bayern are the better team but they weren't better in this game. But they took one of their very few chances and PSG missed all of theirs

Similar to the EL final in that way

Immature performance from Mbape and Neymar.

On the other side Kimmich and Muller were immense, they showed how final is played and won.
