Looks like a Bayern Vs PSG final if you look at the Draw…
2 Strong teams coming face to face in the final…
But, the beauty of UCL is that it doesn’t work that way…
Remember last year when Madrid got unexpectedly knocked by Ajax? Ajax also knocking out Juve? 2 title favorites gone… And when we thought Ajax will qualify easily against a bottling team like Spurs… Spurs surprised us and made the final by beating them in their own stadium…
Remember when PSG got knocked out by Man United? Or that incredible comeback of Liverpool when everyone were thinking of a UCL final between Ajax and Barca? Also remember how Bayern and Atletico were favorites to qualify against Pool and Juve in Round of 16 in 2nd leg and didn’t qualify (when Bayern had a Home Game in 2nd leg after a 0-0 draw at Anfield and Atletico had a good 2-0 lead after 1st leg?)
What I am trying to say is anything can happen in Champions League and that’s the beauty of Football…
Maybe there could also be more possible surprising scenarios

  1. City Vs Atletico final?
  2. Bayern Vs Atalanta?
  3. Real Madrid Vs PSG?
  4. Juventus Vs Atletico?
  5. Barca Vs PSG
    LOL, Bayern Vs PSG/Atletico look the most predictable fixture but, other possibilities would also be fun to watch :thinking::upside_down_face::ok_woman::joy:
