#3 Manuel Neuer

PSG have two dangerous attacking players in Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. The duo wreaked havoc against RB Leipzig and played a role in the quarterfinal victory against Atalanta. It’s likely chances to score will come their way. The player that will be standing between them and the back of the net is Manuel Neuer.

Along with his ability to make saves in pressure situations, Neuer is also important in the build-up play for Die Roten. The German international can initiate counter-attacks with his precise passing and long throw. Moreover, he commands the box with authority, imparting confidence into defenders ahead of him.

As one of the best goalkeepers in the world, Neuer has the opportunity to do his part in getting Bayern the Champions League title. He will have to be at his best against PSG as players such as Neymar will be testing the German goalkeeper. If Paris Saint-Germain can get in behind Bayern’s defense, Neuer’s sweeper-keeper skills may be called upon.

Against a side such as PSG, there isn’t a better goalkeeper Bayern would want in the net than Neuer. The veteran could be in for another memorable performance that leads Bayern to a major title.
