Before the Champions League final of FC Bayern against PSG, the question arises: Who are coach Hansi Flick's chosen ones and who is allowed to play at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon?

  • 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 ?

Update from August 23, 2020: Bayern coach Hansi Flick is said to have many good qualities in terms of the ability to train a soccer team. Flick is considered to be very tactical and is praised by the players themselves as a good communicator . In addition Flick seems so fast nothing from the rest to bring - whether during a game or subsequently during the interview - always the 55-year-old exudes a certain serenity of.

Flick has not been said to have a certain shrewdness so far, but he has not been a coach on the big football stage in Europe for that long. The impetus for the question of whether Flick is a rascal or not was given by Bayern 's final training before the CL final against Paris. There he arranged an eleven-on-eleven training game on Saturdayon - on one side the clear A-formation could be seen. So does that mean that Flick trusts the same starting eleven in the final against PSG that played Barcelona 8-2 and did a decent job against Lyon (3-0)? With Boateng in central defense, Kimmich as right-back and Thiago in defensive midfield.

Opponent Paris' scouts and analysts are sure to have taken their notes. PSG coach Thomas Tuchel said at the press conference that he is expecting the team from the quarter and semi-finals due to Bayern’s final training: “I don’t expect any changes after Bayern’s training. Before that I flirted with Benjamin Pavard that he was playing and Joshua Kimmich on the six. Not now that I've seen the pictures. "

With all the transparency on Flick's side, the question now arises whether this is all a big bluff? Does rascal Flick want to deceive his counterpart or does he simply have nothing to hide before the biggest game of the year? By 8 p.m. this evening at the latest, we will be certain. Then the lists will be announced.

Lineup of FC Bayern against PSG: Defensive worries before the final - Flick: "I still don't have 100% confidence"

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.

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 great moment against Barca, Gnabry shot Bayern against Lyon with his brace in the final * and Lewandowski scored in every game of this Champions League season, only not 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 have his cards checked 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 staff on the offensive. "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.
