PSG superstar reveals deep insights before CL final - "I cried all night"

After seven long years, FC Bayern are back in the Champions League final. Here in the final countdown you will find all important information about the final against PSG.

• The FC Bayern 's missing a win against PSG next Champions League triumph.
• Serge Gnabry, the two -goal scorer from the Lyon game, revealed inside detail about his first goal.
• Leon Goretzka could not hide his emotions from his superiors.
• PSG superstar Kylian Mbappé unpacks about his injury.

Update from August 21, 2020: Sleep twice more until the big final between Bayern and PSG - as the weekend approaches, the level of tension among most Bayern fans will also increase. With the French star ensemble around Neymar , Angel di Maria and of course Kylian Mbappé , FC Bayern has a real plank in front of its chest.

The Reds' defense will have a lot to do on Sunday evening in order to narrow the circles of the magic feet. As is well known, there was a question mark behind Mbappé's return for a long time. In the first competitive game after the long Corona break, in the French Cup final against AS Saint-Étienne , the 21-year-old was plowed off his legs so hard by opponent Loic Perrin that Mbappé was replaced and then even had to walk on crutches . In the end, Mbappé got away with a ligament stretching in his ankle reasonably well, but this foul and the possible consequences kept him busy for longer. At the time, "I cried all night," revealed Mbappé, and the next day he was also depressed and frustrated. But then I realized "that I am damaging the team."

In the quarter-finals against Atalanta Bergamo he was already back on the field - and was urgently needed. PSG were 1-0 down until he was substituted. But when he took it in, the game changed. Paris developed more traction and was ultimately able to turn the game around - Mbappé scored the 2-1 goal in the 93rd minute.

The Bayern have been warned. Mbappé is not only exceptionally fast, he can also call his own fine technique on the ball and is always able to decide a game with one action. Compared to the game against Lyon , Bayern have to improve their defensive network on Sunday . Once Mbappé escapes, with or without the ball, it will be extremely difficult to catch him again.

However, the superstar is not at 100 percent after his injury . "I have no more pain ," says Mbappe of his ankle. "The injury is not over yet, not everything is great."

After triumph over Lyon: Emotional Goretzka roars at Bayern bosses - bad memories of the final referee

Update from August 20, 4:45 p.m.: Now the referee for the final of the Champions League between FC Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday evening has been determined.

The referee has already played three international Bayern games: The first game was the second leg in the 2017/18 Champions League quarter-finals at FC Sevilla , which FC Bayern won 2-1. In the second FCB game under the direction of Orsato, the Munich team managed a 5-1 home win over Benfica Lisbon in November 2018.

But in the same season Orsato whistled another, far more memorable Bayern game. After a 0-0 first leg at the later Champions League winners Liverpool FC , Bayern were challenged in the Allianz Arena against Klopp-Elf. Orsato didn't have much to do with the 3-1 defeat, which meant the end for Munich in the round of 16 , but his name probably brings back unpleasant memories for some Bayern fans.
