Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich meet tonight in the 2020 Champions League final.

Perhaps the strangest and certainly the longest season on memory will come to a close with it, but both these sides have been fiercely chasing European glory over the past few seasons so the focus is only on the 90 minutes at hand.

French champions PSG beat Atalanta in incredible circumstances in the quarters, before cruising past Leipzig in the semis.

Bayern crushed Barcelona in embarrassing fashion in the last eight, then dispatched with Lyon in style in the last four.
