PSG vs Bayern: A Game For The Ages
4/30/202631 min
Did we just witness one of the greatest football matches in recent memory as PSG edged Bayern 5–4? And after a season of cautious, passive Premier League football, how refreshing was it to see two elite sides go all-out attack? In Madrid, Arsenal head back to the Emirates with a result, but was the game defined more by VAR controversy than football? Were Arsenal unlucky not to go into the second leg with an advantage? Plus, Gary, Alan and Micah break down the electric front threes of PSG and Bayern Munich, how do they stack up against each other, and where do they rank among the best attacking trios of the modern era?
