Former England captain Wayne Rooney: "Bayern have the advantage that most of their starting line-up have played in the Champions League final before. But I have a feeling for PSG.

"It will be a shoot-out and I think with Neymar, Mbappe and Di Maria, PSG will exploit the high line that Bayern play. They will get chances and take them.

"I have no doubt that press will create chances for Bayern but PSG are good enough in possession to deal with it and once they play through it there will be opportunities for their attackers."
