Nope. We got this.

I can't believe I'm saying this.
But I'm rooting for Bayern.
I want you guys to get the treble.
I really like Flick.
If only because he used to live near me and is a genuinely nice guy.

I'm not surprised
You fellow anti-Bayern Germans always bitch about us but then need us to fulfill your nationalist world domination fantasies in European competitions

Parking the bus isn't an option for Lyon. They have to adopt Mourinho tactics to win (destructive play, high ball, thuging, attacking through wings) or to go all out. I give them 30% winning chance.

Thiago is not a goal threat. He can do everything, best midfielder in the world hands down, but what he can NOT do is shoot at goal

Bayern-PSG is going to be a great finals.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'll support Bayern even though I like Lyon way more. Can't risk having PSG become the champion of Europe, and I'm pretty sure Lyon would bend over backwards to them if they met in the final.

Unless PSG loses to Leipzig then in that case I will support Lyon. Imagine if they win the CL, the reaction of PSG fans would be legendary

Yeah. This one (if it happens) will be worth the watch. Both teams will attack full-on and it will be fun.

Tbf Lyon have had their fair share of lucky moments too. Like a typical tournament luck like some teams in the past such as Greece, Chelsea etc

Bernardeschi and Sterling missed open goals in their respective games. We'd be talking a different game had those gone in.

Credit to them for making this far but this Bayern team is a machine. I'm not sure we're going to see many such 'moments' in this game. Bayern usually reserve dem choke moments in big finals.

It is admittedly a huge part of it all in the years where Germany does fuck all on the international stage.

Fucking THIS.

By far the most annoying things those key archetypes do. Similar to how Juventus fans verbally pass the torch to Inter and Milan to also fulfill Euro expectations as if they (Juve) are even relevant in Europe.

Idk about Viva but RWO did this so often.

I think I can be excused on the grounds of having always been open about this, and not really having a first flight team that plays against Bayern in the league I care a tremendous lot about. I like Frankfurt for geographical reasons, but really, until Bayern get demoted or St. Pauli promoted, my Bayern hate is mostly condensed out of my view that money ruins the game, I have nothing of actual substance against Bayern, and I am known to really support German football in Europe.

Unless it's fucking Leipzig, those guys can go eat a bag of dicks.

Greatest French President since Mitterand ffs

I c wut u did there

i still believe bayern will get that Champions league regardless of who they face ...
so Bayern to go to final and take it all

this team has a good balance, and quality all over, from starting to bench and they are getting results when it matters.
not taking it anything anyway from Lyon because they had a big time low in ligue 1 and juninho in big pressure and i like em but Bayern is too good atm

Bayern is gonna bulldoze their way to the trophy now, dont see any teams close enough to their level at all.

______ will star for Bayern tonight #UCL

Bayern relying on their usual 11 against Lyon? They are refusing to change their system for the 7th tabled team in France? What a foreign concept. I hope Bayern wins 5-0 and that baldie takes notes smh.

Weeknd - Blinding Lights.

Kimmich what a thug ffs. Should have been red clearly.

What a scrub ffs how do you miss that

Just had to R1 circle that and would have been in.

All Lyon have to do is take advantage of Bayerns high line l, like Barca tried doing. Bayerns CBs are nothing special

Definitely not ruling Lyon out in this game imo

More like L1 circle

Davies is getting exposed for the one trick pony that he is.

Lyon with the better chances so far.

Bayern are so open on counter lmao, they play like this vs PSG and they will get destroyed. They have to beat Lyon first anyway
