Bayern – PSG, the final of the Champions League 2020 for this meeting Robert Lewandowski and his current club have waited seven years. For the Polish striker, who impresses with his efficiency in this edition, it will be the most important in his career.
Bayern scored 42 goals on his way to the final. The Champions League record belongs to Barcelona and is 45 goals. And because of the coronavirus, there were no two matches in the quarter-finals and semi-finals this year, but only one match. Three of these goals were scored by the German champion in the 3:0 semi-final with Olympique Lyon.
The French champion scored “only” 25 goals. However, the potential of PSG in offense is huge, as the Parisians showed in the semi-finals with RB Leipzig.
The first half of the Champions League final may have disappointed some fans. We did not see any goals, although Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich created some clear-cut situations. Robert Lewandowski was also close to scoring a goal.
It turns out that the Bavarians have not come down for a break with a 0:0 score for a long time.
In the 18th minute Thomas Tuchel’s charges were able to document their lead in the best possible way for themselves, but Manuel Neuer stopped Neymar’s strike from seven metres in a brilliant style
In 59 minutes it happened to Bayern it was done by Kimmicha’s Punch into the penal field, Coman came to the ball and hit his head towards the next post. Navas did not manage to reach the ball.
Coman could plunge the PSG in the 62nd minute. After his shot, the ball passed Navas, but Thiago Silva knocked it out before the goal line! The Parisians, on the other hand, were close to a straightening eight minutes later. Angel Di Maria played to Marquinhosa in the penalty area. However, Neuer defended the Brazilian by shooting with his leg.
In the 70th minute, an excellent situation was wasted to lead to a draw. Manuel Neuer defended Marquinhos’ attempt from the closest distance. Thomas Tuchel’s team could no longer afford more. The team from the Bavarian capital controlled the course of events and eventually won 1:0.
In the 74th minute Neymar tried to surprise the German goalkeeper. However, the Brazilian shot from a distance and the goal was missed at a minimum. The PSG star did not play the best game. Ten minutes before the end of regular time, he fouled Lewandowski and received a yellow card.
In the 82nd minute, he struck inexcusably, being on fire. A minute later, he took the ball and was fouled by Thiago Silva. Philippe Coutinho came up to the free throw, but the Brazilian hit was wrong.
