Welcome to the final match of the 2019-20 (men’s football) season! This technically has nothing to do with Chelsea, though potential future Chelsea center back Thiago Silva is captaining PSG as they attempt to vanquish this seemingly invincible Bayern Munich team, who summarily dispatched us in the Round of 16, then made quick work of Barcelona and Lyon.

Many/most of us will be watching however, and it’s also a chance for us to test a new live blogging platform that we might be deploying for next season — if all goes well.

So, here we go! Will Bayern finish the job? Will PSG make history? Could be fun!
