All you need to know: the final!

The stakes, the stats, the keys to the game: all you need to know about Sunday's UEFA Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich in Lisbon.

A little history...

It's the duo's 13th meeting (incl. all competitions and friendlies). That puts Bayern in the top five of the club's continental opponents after Barcelona, Benfica and Real Madrid (15 games). In eight competitive matches, the Parisians boast five wins to three losses.

This will be the pair's ninth UEFA Champions League fixture, putting Bayern just one encounter behind Barcelona.

Only two players have played for both teams: Juan Bernat and Kingsley Coman.

This is Paris' third European final: a 1-0 win over Rapid Vienna (08/05/1996) and a 1-0 defeat to Barcelona (14/05/1997), both in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, came before.

It will be Paris Saint-Germain's 115th UEFA Champions League game. Their record: 63 wins, 22 draws, 29 defeats.

It is their 227th European game* (119 wins 52 draws, 55 defeats).

The stakes...

The 2019-20 season ends against Bayern Munich, and it's already been an historic campaign for the Rouge-et-Bleu: with 40 wins, only four draws and as many defeats, Paris Saint-Germain have passed the 80% 'win ratio' milestone, pipping their previous best of 79.66% in 2015-16 to set a new record for French football. 

Paris Saint-Germain are on course to complete an historic quintuple having already won the Trophée des Champions, Ligue 1, the Coupe de France and the Coupe de la Ligue. The capital club is the only side able to make a clean sweep of trophies after Bayern Munich - the Bundesliga and German cup winners - lost the German Supercup against Borussia Dortmund (2-0, 03/08/2019).

The Rouge-et-Bleu would like to continue their fabulous scoring streak in the UEFA Champions League having found the net at least once in their last 34 games in the competition, equalling Real Madrid's record set between 2011 and 2014. The last time they failed to score was in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester City on 12 April 2016.

The keys to the game...

Paris Saint-Germain can rely on the competition's best defence, which has conceded just five goals this season.

Marquinhos, who scored key goals against both Atalanta and RB Leipzig, could equal his PB with a third strike in successive games. The Brazilian last achieved the feat in 2016-17 with goals against Monaco in the Coupe de France semi-final (5-0, 26/04/2017), vs. Nice (1-3, 30/04/2017) and against Bastia (5-0, 06/05/2017).

With six assists, Angel Di Maria leads the 2019-20 competition ahead of Bayern's Robert Lewandowski (5). The Argentine has already equalled his personal record for a single season in the competition as he registered six in Madrid's successful 2013-14 campaign.

The Rouge-et-Bleu no.11 could also emulate Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who became the only Paris Saint-Germain player to date to top the UEFA Champions League assists ranking in 2012-13 (7 assists).
