"Normally, my team has so much quality in the final third, but today they were lacking that final punch. Without the injured Marquinhos, Danilo started alongside Presnel Kimpembe in central defence for the French champions while Bayern were also without Leon Goretzka in the midfield. Bayern applied the pressure early on but PSG threatened on the counter with Mbappe and Neymar having the early chances in an error-strewn start. PSG came then close on a quick break as Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer denied Neymar in a one-on-one after the Brazilian had been found unmarked by Mbappe. Flick's team created danger in the box repeatedly in the closing stages but the home defence held firm as PSG avenged last year's 1-0 final defeat by Bayern.
