UCL: Bayern must tighten defence against PSG in final, warns Flick
Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick insists treble-chasing Germans must tighten their defence against Paris Saint-Germain in Sunday’s Champions League final after some nervous early moments in their 3-0 semi-final win over Lyon.
Flick’s side made a shaky start on Wednesday in Lisbon as Lyon captain Memphis Depay fired wide, then Karl Ekambi hit the post before man-of-the-match Serge Gnabry settled Bayern’s nerves with two first-half goals.

Robert Lewandowski headed home his 15th Champions League goal of the season two minutes from the final whistle as Bayern claimed a record-equalling 10th straight win in Europe.
“Lyon fought hard and made things hard for us, we know PSG have quick players and we will have to organise our defence differently,” said Flick, whose side scored 42 goals in 10 Champions League games to reach the final.

“Paris are a great team, they fought their way into the semi-final and then reached the final.
“We know they have quick players, but we know our biggest strength is putting our opponents under pressure.”
