WE’VE had to wait an extra 10 weeks for the Champions League Final and it could be worth it.
The one-off quarter and semi-finals provided bags of drama and loads of goals.
And Sunday’s showdown between Bayern Munich and PSG is full of promise.
It’s FC Hollywood vs the Great Sheikhs as the French try to take the prize for the first time.
Unfortunately for them they’re up against a German side who have swept past allcomers.
Hansi Flick’s exciting side have netted 15 goals in three ties since the restart but defensively they’re not rock solid.
Bayern have been hot outright favourites since battering Barcelona 8-2 and are now 21-20 with McBookie to win in 90 minutes.
PSG are 9-4 with bet365 with the draw 3-1 at Paddy Power. On the outrights it’s Bayern 4-7 with McBookie and PSG 11-8.
I’ve been tipping Bayern since they beat Chelsea in the last eight and if this is a shootout they should win.
Lyon failed to take their chances in the semi and the likes of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe aren’t likely to be so wasteful so there should be goals at both ends -although neither netted in a thrilling 3-0 semi-final cruise against Leipzig.
Flick plays a high line has a philosophy of “if you score one we’ll score four” and Bayern did that in both halves against Messi and Co.
Bayern and over 2.5 goals looks the best bet at 6-4 with McBookie while Bayern and over 3.5 pays 11-4 at Paddy Power.
Picking a first scorer is tough with Serge Gnabry, Thomas Muller and Robert Lewandowski all posing a huge threat for Bayern and Neymar and Mbappe ready to pounce for PSG.
Semi-final double hero Gnabry, possibly world football’s most under-rated player, is decent value at 8-5 with 888sport to net.
Lewandowski is just 3-4 with Mbappe 11-10, Neymar 31-20 and Muller 12-5.
Bayern usually start on the front foot and a goal in the first 15 minutes pays 5-2 while both to score in the first half is 9-4 at bet365.
