Pre-buzz

There is quite a bit of buzz on Twitter about the match and the winners. "PSG vs Bayern for the Champions League and Neymar vs Lewandowski for the FIFA Best. Sunday can’t come quick enough," one tweet read and another said, "I’ve got a feeling that PSG vs Bayern will be one of the best CL finals to have ever happen."

One user posted, "I'd like to see how high Bayern will hold their line vs PSG. Neymar & Mbappe both have the perfect skill set to exploit the space behind. My guess is that Flick will note that & won't play that high up. If PSG gets the sort of start Lyon enjoyed today, it will be over quickly." Another said, "I actually waited for some team to break Bayern’s high-line & score, but no one did. If they are still staying this much high, I can see a guy running behind them breaking those lines and running riots similar to a WC scenes... Kylian Mbappe. PSG vs Bayern would be massive."

One football fan said, "After seeing Tottenham and Liverpool in last year's final, PSG vs Bayern is the final we deserve."

Who will win?

Bayern is the tournament favorite and the team has not recorded a single defeat in the 24 of their last 25 matches in all competitions and they have not lost a Champions League game all season. Going by the past record, there's a strong chance Bayern might clinch the trophy. However, Paris Saint-Germain has never won the trophy and if they are declared the winner, it will be a joyous moment for the Red Bull-owned team which also sponsors Neymar. 

While PSG has the star power and speed on their side, Bayern stands strong on the basis of better technical ability. We predict that both teams will score in the final match. Who do you think will win? Tell us in the comments below.
