Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, is much more inexperienced and is often referred to as a "rich man's team."
This year's Bayern Munich, judging from their 8-2 victory over Barcelona, clearly demonstrates their strength.
Most people believe Bayern Munich will win this match.
That's... a nicer way of putting it.
Even PSG's own fans, while supporting PSG, rationally analyze that they still can't beat Bayern Munich, and in the end, they can only console themselves with one sentence.
"Anything can happen in the finals!"
At the Stadium of Light, Lin Hao couldn't help but peek out from the players' tunnel to look at the Champions League trophy, the Big Ears Cup!
"Stop looking, it's definitely not yours!"
Lin Hao looked up and saw that the person speaking was Alphonso Davis.
He is also a gifted young man, but a year younger than Lin Hao, probably because Lin Hao's birthday is older.
"What? Want to have a competition?" Lin Hao asked again.
Alphonso Davies nodded. "Great! That's what I've been waiting for you to say. I heard you've never lost, and I also heard you haven't played in a long time!"
"Then stop talking nonsense!"
The pre-match performances have ended, and the referee led both teams' players, along with their caddies, onto the field for the pre-match ceremony.
Lin Hao had long heard that the Champions League theme song gave people a very different feeling, but Lin Hao felt that it wasn't that good.
Now he understands a little better. It's not that it sounds nice, it's that it tells a story. Whenever this melody plays, you can remember the hard work and struggles you've put in behind the melody.
Fans can also recall the tension they felt while watching the game.
After the pre-match ceremony, the players from both sides lined up on either side, and the captains played a coin toss.
Commentators from around the world introduced the starting players for both sides in their respective languages.
For Paris Saint-Germain, Keylor Navas remains in goal.
The formation deployed is 4-3-3.
Thiago Silva will partner Kimpembe at center-back, Bertner will play at left-back, and Kehrer will play at right-back.
The midfield trio consists of Marquinhos, Paredes, and Herrera.
The attacking trident, a combination of exceptional talent, consists of the unrestrained Neymar and Mbappe, and Lin Hao, whose bargain price has brought tears to the eyes of countless teams.
It's worth noting that Lin Hao has only started in these few Champions League matches, and his performance has truly lived up to expectations. In fact, one could say he's no worse than Mbappe.
Lin Hao's partnership with Neymar is a pleasure to watch, but his partnership with others is indeed not good enough. The main reason for this is that he is a very talented player who should be able to create very beautiful combinations, but he fails to do so.
In addition, PSG's tactics have indeed been criticized.
As for Lin Hao personally, there's a saying that perfectly describes him: he may not be number one in any one thing, but when you put them all together, he's number one!
This is something fans only recently discovered, and of course it's a bit of an exaggeration; he's not the best in the world at all.
The main point is that he has great talent in many areas, but if you look at each individual aspect, you can definitely find someone better than him, but no one is as well-rounded as him.
Especially this season, fans have clearly noticed that he has improved in terms of physical strength. Some say that Ligue 1 is not as physically demanding as the Premier League, but we'll have to wait until Lin Hao returns to see if that will become more pronounced.
Your speed can still increase! You're so young! You're still at the age where you can develop your speed.
In short, Lin Hao has clearly improved his skills this season, but like his talent, his improvement is only a little bit at a time!
Bayern's starting lineup, without a doubt, is guarding the goal with someone who can compete for the title of the greatest goalkeeper in history, Neuer! It gives you the feeling that history is just around the corner!
Even if he isn't the greatest goalkeeper of all time, he certainly deserves a prominent place in the history of goalkeepers. The attacking goalkeeper style originated with him.
There are also words like "gatekeeper".
Bayern Munich used a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Center-back, Arab, Boateng!
The left-back was Alphonso Davies, and Lin Hao played right winger, directly opposite Davies, a true clash of titans.
Right-back, Kimmich.
Thiago and Goretzka will play as the two defensive midfielders.
Kingsley Coman, Gnabry, one left winger and one right winger.
In the middle is the team's soul, young Müller!
Leading the pack is undoubtedly the biggest weapon in the top five leagues this season: Lewandowski!
The decision was made by flipping a coin; Bayern Munich went first.
Bayern's greatest strength right now is their momentum.
And everyone played their part perfectly. On both flanks, Gnabry and Coman shone brightly, while Kimmich, Alphonso Davies were both offensive and defensively capable.
Lewandowski is firing on all cylinders, and Müller is getting more and more unpredictable.
Müller dropped back in midfield to help organize the attack, combining with Goretzka and Thiago, along with Kimmich.
PSG pressed hard, and Müller seized the opportunity to pass the ball to Gnabry on the right wing.
Gnabry received the ball with a light touch and was already prepared to move forward. The ball continued to the right, and Kimmich came over to take it. At this moment, Gnabry and Kimmich were moving forward together, leaving Bertner with no idea how to defend.
Kimmich passed the ball back to Gnabry, who swept it across the goal.
Navas quickly caught the ball.
Lin Hao, watching from the front, couldn't help but twitch the muscles on his face. Gnabry, did he pull off a clever move? This is too amazing, just like a master in a martial arts novel. Bayern is specifically targeting the most dangerous spots.
Navas was a little slow, and Lewandowski arrived.
Navas signaled for Bayern to quickly stabilize the pace, while Bayern's posture seemed to be telling PSG, "Go ahead and play, and see if I can take you down."
From the very beginning, Bayern Munich completely overwhelmed Paris Saint-Germain in terms of momentum.
At times like these, the most important thing is to project confidence. What hasn't Navas seen? He knows exactly what to do in situations like this.
When you need Neymar, it's crucial for a star player to step up, stabilize the situation, and show his teammates that while they are strong, we are not to be underestimated either.
Navas first threw the ball powerfully to Kehrer on the wing. Kehrer immediately passed the ball forward to Mbappe, who gently passed it across to Neymar, who dropped back to receive it. Neymar then performed a Marseille turn.
Before he could go back, he was taken down by Goretzka.
Neymar was actually a bit unsteady, not to the point of being knocked down, but when it comes to football, you can't be too honest. If you don't fall down and someone steals the ball, the referee won't even give you a foul.
Whistle blows, free kick.
Neymar took the free kick himself, and after the kick, he ran forward to receive the ball, this time facing the goal directly.
It was Goretzka again. Neymar slowed down, then suddenly started, stopped, and changed direction again to get past Goretzka. But behind Goretzka, a flying tackle came!
