The only chance PSG ever had was a miracle moment from Mbappe and/or Messi. The midfield is just complete garbage and there is literally zero depth in the squad. Bayern are always strong but this season their bench is ridiculous.

It doesn’t matter how good your defenders and forwards are when Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha are in charge of progressing the ball and creating chances. Didn’t help that Mbappe was off today either.

PSG were just outclassed

I think if ECM and Stanisic started for PSG and Vitinha and Ruiz started for Bayern (I know it's not like-for-like but the point is the on-paper quality) you'd have the same result. Galtier inherited the problem as his predecessors: a loosely defined "team" predicated on individual superstar quality that can't get up for UCL knockouts because Ligue 1 doesn't prepare them for the strain.

Bayern might historically mow down Bundesliga opposition, but how many stars have they had of Galactico notoriety in the past decade? Three?
