Charlie Nicholas is backing PSG to topple Bayern in extra time when they meet in the Champions League final on Sunday.
A mammoth clash awaits when two of the best sides in Europe battle it out for the ultimate crown. PSG and Bayern will face off as both sides hope to crown already good seasons at either ends.
It’s pretty difficult to stake a claim on who will come out on top in two days from now.
PSG edged out Atalanta in the quarter-finals before easing past Leipzig in the semis. Bayern humiliated Barcelona by that ‘8-2’ scoreline before they brushed aside Lyon on their road to the finals.
The French side have never won the competition in their history and will be all fired up to right that wrong on Sunday. Bayern might have won the competition five times but their last win came back in 2013. In a nutshell, both sides are motivated to go all out for glory.
Charlie Nicholas can’t seem to see a clear winner in the tie. He says PSG will secure the all important victory in extra-time following a 2-2 scoreline in the regular minutes.
He said to Sky Sports: “It has to be the defence for Bayern which will be their undoing. Messi should have scored against them and was furious at himself, which then changes the format of the game. Bayern killed them in the end, but they do give away chances.”
“I am not sure Jerome Boateng will make it, although I am not convinced he is a great defender, but they will miss him if he is not there. There will be little defending in this one.”
“The full-backs will bomb on, and the midfielders do not like players running off them, so Leon Goretzka will be important, but it will fall down to pace. David Alaba is quick, but he is not quick enough for these guys. PSG will be the kings of Europe.”
