Bayern Munich will square off with Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup and the Champions League titleists are going to be the toughest test to date for the Bavarians.
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma can steal a game, while defenders like Willian Pacho, Marquinhos, and Lucas Hernández are all capable to playing staunch defense. In the midfield, João Neves appears to be what João Palhinha was supposed to be for Bayern Munich and Vitinha controls play just about as well anyone at the moment.
PSG’s attack, though, is where the team’s quick striker prowess could be game-changing. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembélé, and Désiré Doué are playmaking threats surrounding Goncalo Ramos.
So...which player most concerns you?
Bayern Munich could be getting serious about Liverpool FC attacker Luis Díaz. Would the left-wing be a fit...and affordable? Transfermarkt values the attacker at €70 million, but how much would Bayern Munich pay? Where do things stand with Bayern Munich and VfB Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade? Why did Bayern Munich — allegedly — pitch a last minute offer to Borussia Dortmund for Jamie Gittens. Bayern Munich will take on Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup and there is...bad blood? Let’s talk about why this match up will tell us about the mettle of the Bavarians at this stage of the season.
