Tuchel's men began to press as Bayern were keeping more of the ball. But, in some situations, Bayern tended to press when the French side was holding the ball. PSG's first final was looking promising with the deadly trio looking in form while the Bundesliga outfit was also in good shape after thumping Barca in the quarter 8-2 and a semi-final victory against Lyon.
