Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain will battle it out for continental honors with Wayne Rooney preferring one over the other.
Wayne Rooney has played in his fair share of finals during his Manchester United playing days. He was Champions League winner in 2008 and lost twice to Barcelona on separate occasions.
The boyhood Everton fan has followed this 2019/20 edition of Champions League closely and is comfortable in getting behind one team.
Rooney is in awe of Bayern Munich but believes PSG have what it takes to defeat them. The Derby player-coach explained that the individual talents of Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria should get them over the line.
“Bayern have the advantage that most of their starting line-up have played in the Champions League final before and will know how to handle the mental side,’ Rooney told The Times. “But I have a feeling for PSG.
“It will be an open game, between two teams who are very good at attacking and will cause problems for each other.
“It will be a shoot-out and I think with Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria, PSG will exploit the high line that Bayern play. They will get chances and take them — in a way that, in the semi-finals, Lyons did not.
“PSG have the better balance. Defensively they are quite solid, more so than their opposition. For Bayern it is not as simple as just abandoning that high line for one game because it’s key to how they play.”
