Predictions
I am going for a 3-1 win for Bayern Munich, as I think they have more momentum and they are in great form compared to PSG, after beating Chelsea 7-1 on aggregate, beating Barcelona 8-2, and beating Lyon 3-0.
Robert Lewandowski will lead the way for Bayern as he is on form at the moment. If they did not cancel this year's Ballon d'Or, I think he will be the one to win it.
How about you, who do you think would win it? Let's discuss on the comment section below.
Match Details
The match will be played in Estádio da Luz in Lisbon Portugal.
All the roads to Europe's glory lead to the Champs-Elysees.
I see so you go for PSG, If their front 3 of Mbappe, Neymar, and Di Maria click on the match, PSG have a great chance to bring home the Champions League Trophy.
I'm not convinced about Neymar, because of his personality, but if PSG is inspired, let's hope he raises his cup tomorrow.
Yes, if the front 3 clicks for PSG Neymar, Di Maria, and Mbappe. I can see them win the match, let's just wait and see later, but I am leaning on Bayern winning it with Lewandowski in red hot form.
