This is a neutral site battle for the Champions League trophy. This is the first-ever trip to the final for Paris Saint Germain. The pressure is on to win after a dominating campaign with a star-studded lineup, but from 2013-2016, they were stopped in the quarterfinals every year. And the following seasons brought more heartbreak, as they were eliminated in the Round of 16 three straight times. Paris Saint Germain has won five in a row but hasn't been explosive offensively, tallying seven total goals. Bayern Munchen is loaded with talent, as well, after dominating the Bundesliga and outscoring opponents 100-32 in 34 matches. They've rolled through the Champions League competition, too, blasting Chelsea, Barcelona, and Lyon by a 12-6 count. They won all three games by two goals or more. Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski is one of the best strikers in the world and is the Champions League top scorer and assist provider. Bayern Munchen has an outstanding coach in Hans-Dieter Flick, and the team has far more experience in European competitions. And with Paris Saint Germain delighted to make it this far, note that the last six first-time Champions League finalists have lost their debut finals appearance. With all the offensive star power, look for a high scoring game, and back the more experienced Germans. Play Bayern Munchen on the Asian Handicap and OVER the total.
