Champions League 2019/2020

I’ve not renewed my BT Sport subscription since I cancelled it at the start of lockdown. Anyone know if the final is still going to be available to stream via YouTube as it has been for the last couple of years?

Yep - the CL and EL finals are both free to watch. But you'll want to avoid being on here/Twitter etc because by nature of streaming over the internet it'll be 30-90 seconds behind the TV broadcast

Champions League final 2020: When is it, what time is kick-off and what TV channel is it on?

The Champions League knockout stages will be played as a mini-tournament in Lisbon

So Nagelsmann is a bottlejob, and Leipzig are never going to win anything with Red Bull in charge. If they were truly ambitious they'd have kept Werner and invested properly to build a real winning team like PSG's owners have done - instead all they care about is making money and lining their pockets.

Am I doing this right?

On the subject of Lyon they gave me one of my worst football memories in 1967 we played them in the cup winners cup and losing one nil away but winning 4.3 at home I believe we were the first victims of the new rule on away goals . double gutted

Spursy

We weren't the first, but indeed very Spursy ( ) as it was far from common early on.. We may have been the first English team though.

The away goals rule was first applied in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup when Budapest Honvéd beat Dukla Prague in the second round in 1965–66. It was introduced in the Fairs Cup in 1966–67,[17] and in the European Cup in 1967–68 for the first round,[18] 1968–69 for the second round,[19] and 1970–71 for later rounds.[20] Previously, ties level on aggregate had gone to a playoff on neutral ground.[21]

The first all French final in history?
Can't see it myself TBH.
Also can't see PSG beating Bayern. The Germans are as close to flawless as it gets right now.

PSG are the worst matchup for Bayern though. Thiago Silva is still a top CB for these occasions and between him and Kimpembe they can make it awkward for Lewandowski and co, also add in Marquinhos who's pushed up higher into midfield for added protection.

Bayern also play a high risk game and their high line does get caught out quite often so will have to keep an eye out for any runs off the ball from PSG attackers. Everyone and their dog can easily picture Mbappe or Neymar exploiting that and it's hard to believe the latter being as wasteful again in front of goal as he's been in the last two games.

I wouldnt say flawless - they normally play such a high line and if they adopt the same approach PSG would murder them with Neymar and Mbappe especially. They would clearly have to adapt and not sure how that would play out in terms of how dangerous Bayern would be.

Would be an interesting final though

Did pep makes stones or ederson better?

I'd say he probably did yes.

Ederson has been a hell of a signing. The odd mistake doesn't change that.

John stones, meanwhile, has always had certain issues but I think he probably has also got better. His issues remain but.

I'd like Lyon to win

 

[Romulus]

Oh, big miss Memphis

 

[tobi]

He should have chipped him.

 

[delawarespur]

What. A. Ball. Caqueret has been so good in these Lyon games I’ve seen. Memphis should really score though

 

[seppo]

Lyon is just full of ballers. I'd kill for Aouar.

 

[Romulus]

fair play. Lyon are right up for this

 

[SpursD22]

‪Lyon is playing very well and has been the better team so far with their counter attacks but they need to be more clinical in their finishing and final pass ‬

 

[sebo_sek]

I am officially stunned by Lyon. Wonderful football, great strategy and determination. Let's see if they manage to go the full 90 this way.

 

[delawarespur]

Lyon well on top here. Their recruitment and academy is right up there with the best in the world.

 

[JCRD]

I mentioned earlier, Bayerns weakness is their high line. Barca didn't have the pace to really hurt. Lyon do.

Bayern score haha

 

[sebo_sek]

And that's that.
