A perfect scoreline BM:PSG....right?

The generational talent getting finer day in day out repeating a similar performance as he did against Messi’s Barcelona. A crucial away win in a repeat of last campaign’s final saw revenge inflicted on the Bavarians at their backyard. A double from the 22-year old and a strike from Marquinhos gave the French side three crucial away goals. Neymar was back into the starting line-up and produced two assists to give Mauricio Pochettino’s men a boost in the tie. PSG has improved since the Argentine took charge having seen off Barcelona in a 5-2 aggregate score in the competition and while getting a crucial result against the current champion, they seem on course to winning their first ever UCL Title. Having seeing off Manchester United in their group, Barcelona in the round 16 and Bayern Munich in the first leg; PSG have indeed proven to be a tough nut to crack in the competition.

A Pochettino Resurgence has been witnessed and seen the club rise in the ranks. Being clinical in front of goal saw them win the first semi-final leg tie registering only 6 shots, 4 on target providing them with the 3 goals as compared to the Bayern side who registered 31 shots and (12) less than half being on target. Their pressing saw them earn two goals but were not enough to win the tie. Their lack of accuracy in front goal can be attributed to their lethal Lewandowski’s absence who missed out the tie with a knee injury from the international break.

Can Bayern Munich repeat Manchester United’s comeback in the 2018/19 against the French side on their trip to Parc des Princes or will Pochettino’s men march into their consecutive semi-final in two successive seasons? With Both Pochettino and PSG having tasted defeat in the champion’s league final, this campaign provides an opportunity to heal their wounds and win their first ever UCL title.
