FYI there are now official apps to watch this free of charge. BT and YT on the app store (and whatever for non-Apple users).

I’ve always found the frame rate on the YouTube streams make it unwatchable. The Europa league final was on Virgin’s “showcase” channel. I’d check for tonight but the kids are watching Cbeebies and I don’t want to set them off playing with the remote.

Edit; For virgin customers.

Hopefully a high scoring game. Can see Bayern winning 4-2. Both not great defensively

 

[Athens]

I think Bayern are going to give them a good rogering.

 

[Dreambeliever]

Hopefully lots of goals

 

[the count]

I think Bayern are going to give them a good rogering.

I can also see Neymar and Mbappe giving Boatang a torrid time

I can also see Neymar and Mbappe giving Boatang a torrid time

I'm only going on gut feeling.

I really don't like PSG but I also don't really want Bayern to draw level with our 6 wins.

Hmmmm. Can't make me mind up.

 

[Hyena]

I really don't like PSG but I also don't really want Bayern to draw level with our 6 wins.

Hmmmm. Can't make me mind up.

Well it's certainly less shitty than when Utd played Chelsea in the finals... That was a nightmare

Bayern winning it after Pep leaving would help soothe the pain a bit. Just a bit, of course.

 

[peterhague]

It was a nightmare that Utd won. It wasn't a dilemma though, at least not for me. I was desperate for Brave JT to put that penalty away.

 

[Athens]

Your man Mbappe is one to watch for the future.

You heard it here first, kids.

 

[Bradley]

Hate both these teams, but PSG shade it on account of their murderous owners.

 

[Bradley]

Boateng off for Sule. Means nothing to me. But that old school Herrea and Di Maria link up was sweet, then he fluffed the shot.

 

[MomoWASright]

It’s been a decent game so far. Neymar got through and Neuer with a couple of stops. Di Maria Skies a shot. Lewandowski hits the post. Boateng off injured. 27 minutes in.

 

[Markeh]

Sule looks like he shouldnt be involved in football, maybe a professional Bavarian pint chugger

 

[Bradley]

That PSG front 3 arr nearly as good as ours.

 

[Athens]

Lewandowski reminds me of myself, back in my playing days.

 

[Bradley]

Munich are getting in the flow again.

 

[Athens]

Only I'm much better looking, of course.

 

[rurikbird]

PSG’s pressing is creating problems for Bayern’s build up - Neuer is trying to play playmaker, but they keep losing the ball and giving up counter-attacking opportunities.

 

[MomoWASright]

Coman is a pretty handy player.

 

[Bradley]

Lewandowski reminds me of myself, back in my playing days.

Yes, we used to call you Rodney Lewandogoalski.

 

[Athens]

Yer man Gnabry looks like a scouser with that hair and moustache combo he's got going on.

 

[MomoWASright]

That’s a pen

 

[MomoWASright]

No it’s not.

Great game. Mbappe is shit.

 

[Bradley]

Went mad for a minute there. Fantastico.

 

[tomasjj]

Both Bayern wingers are boss - Coman and Gnabry.

Mbappe fluffed a sitter there at the end, Di Maria also earlier.

 

[rurikbird]

Very even game so far. As I suspected Bayern moved their defensive line deeper and PSG’s front 3 can only find the space in front of them. Bayern is attacking in greater numbers, PSG’s trio of strikers looks cut off from their midfield and is trying to create a goal on their own. The scoreline could have been anything at this point, but so far no luck for the attacking players on either side.

 

[tomasjj]

PSG struggle to move the ball upfield.
Their keeper not being able to do a goal kick does not help at all.
Cannot believe that at this level...
