and now the night everyone in the football world has been longing for
millions will be watching around the world it is of course the biggest final in club football
the uefa champions league final welcome to the commentary box
derek ray here joined by stuart robson it's paris saint-germain up against bayern munich
well derek it doesn't come any better than this does it this has the makings
of an absolute classic these are two brilliant teams and at the moment i can't separate them
and the bsg team looks like this luigi donnarumma begins in goal sergio ramos
plays alongside marquinhos in central defence marco verrazzi starts alongside ander herrera
in the engine room and the main threat in attack today should be kylie anambape
well here is the bayern side manuel neuer between the posts
nicholas zulu starts with dalio mecano in central defence leroy zane plays with
serge gnabry on the flanks and leading the attack today is robert lewandowski
this is it the champions league final they are underway who will be crowned club kings of europe
it is to be a throw in
just when we thought the goal would arrive the grim reality hitting off
target well he never looked in full control did he that's a poor finish
on the ball with alfonso davies
goretzka a very good tackle
moving into the advanced position not high quality defending
goretzka
muller
and one by veracie
oh that's a super bowl over the top
well as he hit that one it looked as though it had a chance
serge cannabini
this is mila
lewandowski
onto gohanska well-timed tackle
marquinhos
axler now
looking for that final pass looking for the goal that would put them ahead
and vape the keeper diving magnificently to make sure he got there
over it comes just the clearance that was called for
ana making sure it didn't get past him
messi
and here's herrera
the first goal of this champions league final
incredible scenes well here it is again the through ball is absolutely inch
perfect and then the finish is fairly simple in the end that's a good goal
so underway again here one nil to score
oh they have it again
versi for attacking possibilities can he play as in
he might be able to carve something out oh magnificent from the keeper fantastic stop
breaking at pace
oh nice ball over the top to chase well the flag was up in good time
bringing that move to an end well he's just got to be more patient there he's gone too early
neymar and slipped through beautifully
messy strong hand on that one
situation one minute here
and that is that half time here on the spanish capital
45 minutes separating these two sides from glory
the second half of the champions league final begins
neymar herrera has it
verasie
i just couldn't keep the ball it would have been a foul but instead advantage bayern
alfonso davies
sunny
ramos completely on top of the situation
beautifully weighted ball and it's whipped in early
and there it is but hang on the flag has gone up and it's not going to count
well it was a close call but he is just offside good finish mind you
it's a substitution for a buyer
the pass could do damage
and they deal with the threat this time well this could give bayern a chance to pull level a corner
not all that convincing defensively
time for calm on the ball
draxler oh a perfectly timed pass leonel messi's got past the defenders oh and current converts
mueller
defensive brazilians to shut them down
lewandowski
can't get past sergio ramos
herrera neymar
superb defensive judgment to end the attack
on the ball what has he got up his sleeve
a really sound goalkeeping well that's such a good save isn't it how did he keep that
one out so psg get ready for the set-piece routine hoping to increase their advantage
over it comes
and the upshot of that is offside well he needed to look elsewhere
because the flag was always going to go up and bayern will change personnel now
splendor tackle and a throw in coming up
oh no let up plenty of pressure
well the final whistle is almost upon us psg would dearly love to hear it will they get the win here
stuart your thoughts on their performance yeah just about edging it overall it's been a really
tight game hasn't it chances at a premium and you have to praise their defender in that regard
just got to see out the final few minutes now no silly mistakes at the back
while relying on the goalkeeper well there's not long left now but that just about keeps them in it
yozu are kimmies well that was a good save
and it's kept them in it but they have to do more going forward
well with five minutes remaining and just one goal between them
still the prospect of late excitement in this match they might not get too
many more opportunities bayern have got and the keeper able to hold on to it
herrera
tries his luck
it's a substitution for buyer
full time parisian pride shines through psg have cleared the final hurdle in the champions league
well just look at the emotions out there joy and relief on one side despair and heartache
on the other but we've got the right winners here they fully deserved it on the night
for these players well it's the night of their lives
and they're determined to enjoy every millisecond
well they have to make the most of this don't they it's a great feat what an achievement from them
well they don't need to be reminded about what comes next
it's the presentation of the coveted champions league trophy
well there's some tired players out there but what you can be sure of they'll find some
energy when they get their hands on the trophy they'll be going mad in the next few moments
the champions league winners paddy sanchez man
well this is what they wanted what a moment for these players they've worked so hard to
win this trophy they've been fantastic and you can feel the emotion it's natural to reflect
on this final but so much hard work has gone into the entire campaign memories memories
what would a celebration be without the chance to enjoy it with your own supporters
well these fans have certainly played their part haven't they they'll savor these moments
they've traveled far and wide to follow their team they're loving every minute of this and why not
they deserve it a performance of fire as well as ice they held their nerve when that was necessary
and these celebrations will run long into the night
well these are the moments they have to make the most of it doesn't happen very often does it
these will be photos to cherish for years to come brilliant stuff and you are looking at the best
