Rick 2,276 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Lyon should have one back. Really poor finishing. Dembele makes an instant impact though. Come one, push on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Profesor 1,457 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Would love to see Lyon's xG numbers for tonight. They at least are being competitive, which Barcelona wasn't. And after all those years, Neuer is still great. What a performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Profesor 1,457 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Aouar is great. Lyon probably won't be able to keep him considering they won't be in Europe next season. This is the midfielder Barcelona thought they were getting when they signed Coutinho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael 1,117 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Lovely work down the flank there by Coman, but Tolisso skies his shot from Coman's cross. He should have done much better there against his old club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted August 19, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted August 19, 2020 Bayern are going to win the whole thing. While PSG might have a great front-line this Bayern team is very good across the pitch. Tough on Lyon but if you don't take the chances presented to you it was always going to be a hard comeback.

PSG will be their biggest challenge yet, as the PSG forward line is phenomenal. We can also expect PSG to take advantage of Bayern's high line at times and even score. However, I think Bayern are stronger as a team and I think that they will just have a little too much for this great PSG side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Profesor 1,457 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 With the Lyon elimination, Ajax is now officially qualified for the 20/21 Champions League group stage. This is great news. Love Ajax's style of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this Bayern team are very good if you have someone clinical in the opposition front-line they can get goals. They were a bit suspect in the first half today and I think their only saving grace was that Lyon just didn't have the pass to push the attackers past the defense.

Yeah, such a shame because they played well, executed the game plan well, but let let down by a lack of quality in their finishing. Toko-Ekambi's work rate and speed were very important to the game plan, it's just a shame that he's not a very good finisher, and the first miss knocked his confidence.

Yes, I think that PSG will score and take advantage of Bayern's high line at times. Bayern will have to cut out a couple of the errors in midfield such as Thiago's misplaced passes which we saw tonight, that lead to chances for Lyon. Overall though, I just think that Bayern will have too much for PSG. But it is a one off match, so really, when you have two quality sides in the final, anything can happen. I feel that Bayern have the edge though, as they are so strong throughout their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Ekambi created all sorts of trouble to Bayern's defence but his finishing let him down. Considering how the season started with Sylvinho, this Champions League run was amazing. No Europe next season means that they'll probably have to sell Aouar. It's a huge loss, but their academy is great, they'll be back in Europe in 2021.

They would definitely have been near PSG in the table had the season been completed. Aouar is sure to be snapped up by a wealthier club, it's almost inevitable I'm afraid.

Apponting an inexperienced coach, whose main references were Tite and Roberto Mancini was a terrible decision and they ended up paying a huge price for that ugly season start. Brazilian football coaches are like argentinian economists. Never hire them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a very well organised, physically strong outfit, that also has creativity when they attack. They went toe to toe with PSG in the French Cup final, as well as knocking Man City and Juventus out of the Champions League this season. So they do have a lot to be proud of despite this heavy defeat to Bayern. As for the final, it promises to be an excellent matchup between two world class sides. I anticipate there being plenty of goals on show, given the firepower that both Bayern and PSG possess in attacking areas. It should be a classic!
