- The FC Bayern * meets in the final of the Champions League * on Sunday at 21 o'clock on Paris Saint-Germain .
- Before the game, Bayern are plagued by defense concerns .
- Who does coach Hansi Flick * give the starting eleven mandate ?
Lisbon - FC Bayern * marched unstoppably into the final of the Champions Leagueand meets on Sunday at 21 o'clock on Paris Saint-Germain . Hansi Flick's eleven *won all ten games that season, scoring 42 goals . The FCB only impressed in the quarter-finals with the 8-2 gala against Barcelona and in the semifinals they made it into the final with a 3-0 win against Lyon.
At the final tournament in Lisbon * , Flick has always offered the same starting eleven . The 55-year-old will not enter into any experiments in the final either, unless he is forced to. Against PSG with the German coach Thomas Tuchel, who was last in a wheelchair *, a defender is on the brink, another pushes back into the team . Or does Flick even change his team out of respect for the offensive force of the opponent? This is how Bayern could play on Sunday:
FC Bayern versus PSG: will Boateng fit in time? Flick wants to wait for the final training
Of course, Manuel Neuer is in Bayern's goal . The captain showed a strong performance against Lyon, the French bit their teeth at the national goalkeeper. Neuer saved Bayern and led them to the final with his parades. FCB board member Oliver Kahn recently praised his successor in the Bayern goal: “A goalkeeper at Bayern Munich is not permanently employed, the team is too good for that. But: when it is brought, it has to be there. That is what makes the world class goalkeeper. Manuel is simply unique. "
In the back four, Jerome Boateng is the big problem child , David Alaba, Alphonso Davies and Joshua Kimmich have their places safe. The ex-international showed a very strong performance in the semi-finals against Lyon, but had to be replaced by Niklas Süle at the break due to muscular problems *. His use in the final is not yet assured, but the last signs were positive. “We'll wait for the final training and then think about it. We hope that he is fit, ”said Hansi Flick at the PK on Saturday evening. In training, Boateng made an agile impression in the first 30 minutes and hopes to be able to play on Sunday.

The traditional right-back Benjamin Pavard is still hoping for his final dream. The Frenchman healed the torn ligament in his left foot in record time and was substituted on for Lyon in the last ten minutes. Against PSG, the world champion could upset the whole defense with a starting eleven, because then Joshua Kimmich would move back into central midfield. “I am glad that Benjamin managed to be with us. He worked hard. You could tell against Lyon that I absolutely trust him. He is good for us with his presence and his attitude. It is an option ”, Flick praised, but added a but afterwards:“ I don't yet have the confidence that it is 100% , but we will do a test today. ”
Bayern versus PSG: will Perisic be preferred to Coman and Coutinho again?
The double six will again form Thiago and Leon Goretzka . The duo has proven itself, even if Thiago had a couple of ball losses against Lyon that could be fatal against PSG.
In the offensive, all hopes rest on Thomas Müller, Serge Gnabry and Robert Lewandowski . Müller had his finest hour against Barca, Gnabry shot Bayern against Lyon with his brace in the final and Lewandowski scored in every game of this Champions League season, except in the last group game when he was spared. The Pole has 15 goals and still has Cristiano Ronaldo's CL record in mind, who scored 17 goals in the 2013/14 season.
On the left wing, Ivan Perisic did a lot of self-promotion in the last few games and was given preference despite well-known competition. The Croatian played his way into the hearts of Bayern bosses * with his great performances and can hope for continued employment. Before the duel with PSG, however, Flick did not want to be looked at and also praised Kingsley Coman and Philippe Coutinho : “I'm waiting for the final training. With their substitutions, Coman and Coutinho have shown that they can help us. ”In addition, with a day less break than Paris, Flick could start the press and provide fresh offensive staff. "We had a lot of games now, so we have to see how it looks with the force," announced Flick. Coman will certainly be dying to play in the final, the native Parisian learned to play football at PSG.
