Lyon looked great against Bayern most of the game. Just flopped on their scoring opportunities.  Which they should have had a couple goals.

Really like this Bayern team. But the Paris shrikers are all over top Lyons. Same mistakes wont be happening. Im going with Paris in the final 3-2.

It should be a great game. Bayern has blown people out and Lewandowski hasn’t really gotten going.

PSG’s attacking talent is wild though.

Bayern win.  Treble baby!

What a ride this season was.  Never thought we would have been able to win the treble after the way we played under Niko Kovac at the start of the year.  Hansi Flick did a great job getting the most out of all his players and his tactics were spot on.

Celebrate for now and hope we can win it all again next year.

Congrats cowpoke. They are going to be great for years. Davies 19yo. His game needs to mature a little. Tries to be a bit too cute with the ball sometimes. Once he gets out of that. Be a top 5 player in Europe. Bayern has struck gold there.

Very well deserved. Best team in Europe this year.

 

btw, what was the best league in Europe this year? I’m not convinced it was the EPL.

It really depends what your looking for in terms of best league. In terms of parity, I think the EPL offers more hopefuls for the league crown in any given year than other leagues. This year Serie A was good. Juve was their very good self but Lazio, Atalanta and Inter posed a good challenge. La Liga was alright, Real won and Barca faded. BuLi and Ligue 1. Tbh even with Bayern's struggles I don't think it was ever a question of who was going to win. Kovac was their best challenger this season. Both BuLi and Ligue 1 just aren't competitive enough. Lyon made it deep into the CL but will sell off 1-2 key pieces of their squad. BVB might lose their best player. EPL I thought had a good season. Obviously Liverpool won, but lots of interesting races for top 4. We had a dire Norwich, but the mid-table teams were competitive. A few surprises too.

 

Congrats to Bayern for the CL though. Just a well oiled machine. They have a perfect mix of veterans and youth to create a team that gets the best out of both. Some of their key players are young too, so they'll be around for a while. Best team in Europe by a mile.

EPL due to balance. June ManCity beats Arsenal 3-0. Then weeks later Arsenal beats them 2-0. See that a lot with the EPL. Not just a couple teams out destroying everyone in their way like Paris and Bayern.
