the wait is over there are few bigger days on the football calendar
than champions league final day fans are beginning to pour into the stadium
and the tension is palpable it's psg they face bayern munich and it's live next on ea tv
well there's nothing quite like this occasion welcome to the uefa champions league final
the best two teams in europe this season preparing to go head-to-head for the crowd this is derek ray
in the commentary position and i'm joined as always on these big occasions by stuart robson
it's paddy sanjiama up against bayern munich well what a night derek two great teams
a perfect pitch a magnificent stadium and millions watching around the world
what more could you ask for apart from maybe different commentators
luigi donnarumma stands between the posts sergio ramos plays alongside
marquinhos in central defence marco verrazzi starts alongside idrisa gay
in central midfield and the main striker today is kylian vape
well here is the bayern side manuel neuer begins in goal
lucas hernandez plays alongside nicholas zulet at the back
serge starts with leroy zane in the wide positions and leading the line today robert lewandowski
and they're underway now in the champions league final
we're about to find out which team is the best in europe
andressa gay
might be able to get in behind the defense how about the cross hakini
here and getting across to stop it
the corner courtesy of lionel messi a decisive clearance it was
well you get the feeling so many in attendance here have come just to see this man killian and
vape well it's his ability with the ball at the end oh stuart they could be in here
well that's really sound goalkeeping not letting the opposition have any scraps
no real conviction in the challenge
missy it certainly wasn't a clean tackle and the referee has got to book him i
think well he's gone into the book well he was late and he deserved a booking for that
and going short with it are really good reflexes and danger reversing
trying to deliver it accurately well very effective goalkeeping to touch it over
danger averted for now but it'll be another corner
fired over by messi that's a great stop well his reflexes are so good there that's a fantastic stop
and now the delivery
well threat about it can they do something positive on the counter attack
lewandowski and space for bayern in the wide position but they dealt with the threat post
or psg he went in so dangerously with that tackle now the referee is the man everyone's looking at
and that's going to be all for him in this game anyway stuart and if they're
not careful it could be all for the team as well they're going to be under a lot of pressure now
andres okay hakimi messi and creditors due for that good piece of defending
excellent vision lewandowski real chance and the keeper has denied
him well i've got to say derek he was always in control of that situation brilliant stuff
they favored a short one here muller in the middle
and the counter attackers on options available
will it be sufficiently imaginative fractionally offside
now can they make something happen kimmy
can he put them in front but it was a wonderful chance but the goalkeeper comes through yes derek
we have to give credit to the keeper but surely he should have scored there that's a big big chance
josue with the corner we'll dealt with that ball comfortably
and lewandowski in the thick of things it's always likely to be the goalkeeper's ball
team aria
missy
thomas mueller and bayern moving the ball with purpose
that might appeal to luna superblock now cancer attacking possibilities here
what can they do to stop him running at them di maria in the center a deft clearance
the first half story has been told then here at the estadio metropolitano
into the second half then in this battle for champions league glory
and does well to keep it in play
thomas mueller chance to play us in for the defending not the best here high quality defending
and breaking at pace with menace
they need to get bodies back in possession to give them the lead maybe
let's see about the delivery well cleared away
di maria and he's kept her down fully stretched somehow reaching it
it's a substitution for bayern
he's driven in the corner and a goal
is from panic sergio the first goal of this champions league final incredible scenes
well here's another look at it certainly delivering to the box couldn't have been
any better and then what a great finish as well good connection with the ball
leaving the keeper with little chance it's a great goal
a wake-up call for them perhaps
thomas mueller well they keep the ball moving and just like that they don't have the ball anymore
ander herrera andressa
oh that takes the wind out of their sails great defending
and that's great work to make sure it didn't go over the line
lewandowski on the ball with alfonso davies
will he play it in i'm not testing the keeper at all with that effort
20 minutes to go
missy with it
and return to him did his job to begin with well he gave it real leather but miles off target
substitution it is for psg
oh
15 minutes left for play
leonel messi
just cutting off the supply
lewandowski lucas hernandez
kimmy
well do they have a goal in their future they're giving it a go
pressing high to win the ball and lewandowski waiting for a struggle to get it away properly
but it looks so threatening but the danger averted
well offside anyway i'll be at a tight one will change personnel now
well it's not quite in the history books just yet but psg on the cusp of recording a victory
stuart how would you critique the performance of this one well they need to hold on here not
long left now but you have to say they've defended really well up to this point and i
just can't see them conceding now this would be a really good win if it stays like this
and intercepted it so two minutes of stoppage time here serge canaverty
the ball with zabita
lovely ball over the top
leonel messi 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 teddy sagerman
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 the 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 club side in europe
