    So we have one team that has 9/9 wins this year in the Champions League 3 of those were 6-0(red star belgrade) and 7-2 (tottenham) both games were away + 8-2 against Barcelona and another team that managed to qualify from the group stages in the last match by equalizing in the 82nd minute against Leipzig at home, however I don't know how they did it but Lyon managed to play solid football with only 1 official game played in 5-6 months.
    Everyone will go with Bayern here, just like everyone went with City or Juventus against Lyon.
    My popcorn and Fanta are again ready to be enjoyed for today's game.

    of course not a PSG fan since it's not really a french club (that doesn't prevent me from admiring the players and knowing the club's history very well), but yeah OL has always been one of my favorite clubs and I'm so f---ing happy they got there. It's kinda weird though because they've had an awful season and we were all hoping for Rudi Garcia (awful coach) to be sacked, yet their success against Juventus and City is history of course, and he'll keep f---ing things up for years to come... so yeah, mixed feelings
    Now that they're here though, I'm supporting them with all my heart and I hope they won't get demolished. I don't think they have the slighest chance to beat the bayern, but again they didn't have any against City either, so... We'll see!

    (also Léo Dubois is from my town and was the previous captain of my team, the FC Nantes, so that's another reason for me to support them and be so amazed they got so far)

    So PSG is not a french club with 10 french players in their squad, but Lyon is with only 8. Makes sense

    pls define "squad", because psg had 2 french players on the field vs Leipzig. (Leipzig had 3)

    also lots of clubs use french players, that doesn't change the fact that psg players are paid with money from qatar

    Squad means all the players available and registered to the club, I'm not talking about the first 11 and PSG has more french players than Lyon. Doesn't matter who's paying them, Is not PSG's fault they're a bigger brand than OL.
    Let's take a look when France won the World Cup in 2018 PSG had 3 players in the squad, Lyon only 1.
    I'm not dissing Lyon, by any means there were a lot of players that played there that I enjoyed in my younger days like : Gomis, Juninho, Sidney Govou, Sonny Anderson, I'm just against people saying that money ruined football or things like that cause I simply don't agree. Some clubs are just way too big brands for investors to not put their money in and that brand it's developed by many factors like history, fans in their home country, worldwide and so on(city is an exception of this rule btw lol)

    So there we have it, PSG-Bayern final. Two explosive offenses, two dominant presences of their leagues.

    Lyon should be proud of their run; not everyone knocks out Cristiano Ronaldo & Pep Guardiola while being a “Farmers League” Club, shoutout Mbappe. They’ll regret today’s performance by missing some huge chances that otherwise would have at least made this scoreline less flattering.

    As for Bayern, they are ruthless when it came to the chances they have, Gnabry is a g.d. nightmare to defend. Yet, surely they’ll defend deeper vs PSG right? That suicidal high line is beyond risky against that team, like I’ve echoed itt, they allow too many shots against them for me to feel 100% positive. Their offense has been electric, which is something PSG have to worry about, which I’m positive will contribute to a carnage-filled final.

    This Sevilla team refuses to die :banderas:

    They’ve been a crossing machine in La Liga, shocked by Inter’s lackluster defending there. We got a game!
