Benjamin Pavard, Lucas Hernandez and Kingsley Coman on the German side.
Kylian Mbappé and Presnel Kimpembe on the French side.

.
We are rather serene.
We have two games to play and to win.
"
Holder on the right side of the defense, Pavard should take care of a good part of the time of the marking of Neymar or Kylian Mbappé.
About his compatriot, he describes: “He is a world-class player.
He proves it in Blue and in club.
He is my daily friend but he will be my opponent tomorrow.
He is very important for PSG but other players can also make the difference.
"
After Pavard, Hans-Dieter Flick, coach of Bayern Munich, presented himself at a press conference.
For the German technician, no notion of revenge for the final of the 2020 edition: “It's a new match, a new team, a new coach ... In Paris, everything is different.
We have to focus on ourselves.
We will have to close the spaces between the lines, put pressure on the ball carrier ... There is incredible quality to all the lines at PSG.
"The Munich will have to play without Robert Lewandowski," the best number 9 in the world ", according to Pavard, and without Serge Gnabry, ill and probably forfeited for this meeting.
