Yeah, even Davies will have trouble catching Mbappe if he has a couple feet headstart.

Mbappe and Davies are 2 of the fastest footballers in the world. Mbappe is used to having his way with defenders. Davies is used to using his roadrunner speed if he's out of position. It's the champions league finale. It's going to be fantastic. You just have to enjoy it.

Bayern are just a machine on offense atm - and at the same time sloppy on defense.

I deffo prefer Bayern to win, but i really just want a great game. As a Liverpool fan last years final were exciting because of the magnitude and importance of the game - but for neutrals that game must have been absolutely terrible to watch. Hopefully this final doesn't turn out the same, now that i don't have the same emotions in the game.

I'm optimistic and goes for an historic game with Bayern winning 5-3. :lol:

I have a bad feeling that the false team scores...and it is not the German one.

0-0 after a pretty even first half. Lewandowski unlucky with a fantastic effort hitting post early on; Mbappe with a weak shot to the keeper that you’d have expected him to do better with.

Still think Bayern gonna win by a couple

You guys think it was a penalty?
I think PSG were lucky there, because there was a (slight) pull on the shoulder.

I wouldn’t have blamed him for calling it, but no I do not. Too soft for me

That touch from Muller to Kimmich was just brilliant.
Great goal!

Glad to see Verratti in. Now bring in Draxler and Gueye as well. I’m not a fan of the midfield trio of Herrera-Marquinhos-Paredes at all

Similar situation like the pull on Coman in the first half.
Could go either way.

Pretty weak game by Mbappe and Neymar.
