Right, let’s get started – the season finale, the climax to the 2019-2020 European season, the Champion League final took place on Sunday at the Estádio da Luz, Lisbon, in Portugal. And we should congratulate Bayern Munich, who Damian tipped to win 3-1, on becoming European champions with a 1-0 win. The final was a rarity, slightly unusual, as the two finalists – PSG and Bayer Munich were the champions of their respective leagues. This hadn’t happened since 1998, over 20 years ago! That time it was La Liga champions Real Madrid and Serie A champions Juventus. So congratulations again to Bayern for winning this unusual all-champions Champions League final!
