Really fun match. The first 20 minutes played out remarkably similar to the Barca match, with the difference being that Lyon never shit all over themselves in horrifying fashion. It would've been real fun if Lyon could've buried a chance or 2 early on. After that, they really struggled to generate offense and Bayern were mostly happy to tighten the vice.
I thought Cornet had an outstanding tournament, but he got dragged out of position and fell asleep on the first goal. Even after the goal, Bayern continued many of the same patterns and Cornet didn't adjust. This may have been intentional and at the direction of Garcia, but I don't think that was the case.
Bayern are insanely deep and talented. The fact that they have Coman, Tolisso, Pavard, and yes Coutinho coming off the bench is just madness. However, they have now shown the same weakness twice and PSG are one of the best teams in the world at exploiting that weakness.
PSG's attack versus Bayern's defense is an incredibly fun matchup. Mbappe should be able to create tons of chances running in behind, and even if he's not 100%, he's still so skilled that he will create problems if he can't run full speed all match. Neymar is the best outlet in the world and can turn an outlet pass into a counter lightning quick. Moreover, he's still the best dribbling wing in the world. Di Maria is super intelligent with positioning and should be able to find the gaps created by Bayern's press while complimenting his mates' positions. However, the question I have is whether PSG's MF can cope with the pressure and can the backline stay focused and mistake free.
Marquinhos, Herrera, and perhaps Gueye (I don't know him well enough) do not have the technical ability to break the press with a quick turn. I also don't know that they have the vision to pick out one-time balls to the forwards to beat Bayern's press. Tuchel's MF selection will be very telling because he needs at least one if not both of Paredes and Verratti to help advance the ball thru the MF.
As I watched Bayern yesterday, I thought their opponents could study their defensive patterns and figure out combinations to create a plan to counterpress. What I mean by that is Bayern's front 4 can be seen pressing clearly every time the opposition's keeper or backline has the ball. However and more importantly, the interesting thing that Bayern do is that they then have 1 of the 2 pivots and 1 of the 2 FB join the press. In other words, the front 4 will always be pressing, but it's usually 2 of Goretzka, Thiago, Kimmich, or Davies that actually puts in the tackle or wins the ball. I noticed this yesterday when Davies pressed up high and Kimmich came all the way across the field to cover the opposite side.
Bayern are obviously very fucking good at this and it's not like beating their D is easy. But if PSG can rehearse some patterns where Di Maria, Paredes, Neymar, and Verratti (if healthy) can beat Bayern's trap on the second pass out of the back, they should be able to attack on the break where it's then up to Mbappe, Neymar, Di Maria, and maybe Icardi and EMCM as subs.
