A masked Neymar leaves Paris Saint-Germain's hotel in Lisbon on Friday, as the French side prepare for the Champions League final against Bayern Munich this weekend AFP/LLUIS GENELISBON: The Paris Saint-Germain of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are one game away from winning a first UEFA Champions League that would cap their rise to the status of one of the world's most powerful clubs, but a fearsome Bayern Munich led by the prolific Robert Lewandowski stand in their way in Sunday's final.
None of that takes away from the significance of the occasion for two clubs who seek validation from the Champions League and the prestige surrounding it.AdvertisementThey can become just the second French representative to win club football's biggest prize, 27 years after Marseille won the inaugural edition of the modern Champions League.
When, in 1974, Bayern won the first of three successive European Cups, a young PSG outfit were only just winning promotion to France's top flight. They have won all 10 matches in the Champions League this season. They have scored 42 goals in those matches, including a 7-2 win away to Tottenham Hotspur and the 8-2 quarter-final demolition of Barcelona."The difference to 2013 is that we have top players across the board. Back then, we won with fewer players," says Neuer.
