UEFA Champions League Final 2020

 UEFA Champions League final will be played between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich on Sunday 23 August 2020. The UEFA Champions League 2020-21 is the 66th season of Europe's premier club football tournament organised by UEFA. And it is 29th season since it was renamed from the European Champion Clubs' Cup to the UEFA Champions League.  The winners of the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League will automatically qualify for the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League group stage and also earn the right to play against the winners of the 2020–21 UEFA Europa League in the 2021 UEFA Super Cup.

Venue and Time

The final was supposed to be played at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey, but due to Covid-19 pandemic it has been moved to the Estádio Sport Lisboa e Benfica in Lisbon, Portugal. Concerning the pandemic, just a few hundred people, including the coronavirus-checked players and officials, will be allowed into the stadium. The Champions League final will kick off at 8pm tonight (UK time) and 12:30 AM IST (technically on Monday 24) broadcasting on Sony Ten 1 and Sony Ten 2.



Finalist Teams 


Paris Saint-Germain, one of Europe's biggest spenders, are through to their first Champions League final courtesy of a deserved victory over RB Leipzig in an entertaining semi-final in Lisbon. Goals from Marquinhos, Angel di Maria and Juan Bernat did the trick and finally got the French side into the showpiece final - in the three seasons prior to this one they exited in the last 16, and before that they went out in the quarter-finals four years in a row. They will face Bayern Munich in the final, who overcame Ligue 1's Lyon 3-0 in the second semi-final, thanks to two goals from Serge Gnabry and one from Robert Lewandowski. 


Predicted Line-Ups

 
PSG-  Rico, Kehrer, Silva, Kimpembe, Bernat, Marquinhos, Verratti, Paredes, Di Maria, Neymar, Mbappe.

Bayern- Neuer, Kimmich, Boateng, Alaba, Davies, Goretzka, Thiago, Gnabry, Muller, Perisic, Lewandowski.

Will Paris Saint-Germain will pick up the European Cup for the first time or will Bayern Munich become six-time winners of the continent’s premier competition?
