21:52(UTC)/02:22(IST):

21:50(UTC)/02:20(IST): What a Chance! PSG almost had their leveler on the night. Mbappe played in Neymar whose shot went wide off the post with subsititute Chupo-Moting scrambling to finish. Golden chance squandered.

1 big chance created

21:20(UTC)/01:20(IST): Half-Time at Lisbon! What an end to that first half! Enthralling end with both sides inches away from scoring the opener. Coman had a penalty appeal towards the end but it was rightly judged as a dive.

20:47(UTC)/01:17(IST): What a chance! Bayern made a mess at the back. Mbappe finished lamely into Neuer’s hand playing a quick one two with Di Maria. Real chance ponder by PSG.

20:42(UTC)/01:12(IST): Marquinhos becoming the hero for PSG. Made some decent clearances to put off Bayern’s searching crosses inside the box. No way through the middle for Bayern.

20:38(UTC)/01:08(IST):

20:36(UTC)/01:05(IST): Save! Navas called into action this time to keep out a fine header from Robert Lewandowski. Both teams desperate to get on the scoresheet early.

20:34(UTC)/01:04(IST): Ander Herrera tried a volley but unfortunate enough to not get a corner out of it. It clearly struck a Bayern Man before going out.

20:32 (UTC)/01:02(UTC): Injured Boateng replaced by Nicolas Sule

20:30(UTC)/01:00(IST): Chances falling for PSG! Angel Di Maria ballooning over from close range.

20:26(UTC)/00:56(IST): off the post! Lewandowski did well to get his shot away but unlucky for him it skimmed the upright.

20:00(UTC)/00:30(IST): Kick-off! The moment everyone was waiting for. 90 minutes or extra time or even penalty shootout needed to crown the new European Champions.
