00:00Big occasions by Stuart Robson.
00:02It's Paris Saint-Germain taking on Chelsea.
00:06Well, Derek, this is magnificent.
00:07The atmosphere inside this stadium is electric.
00:10Let's just hope the tension doesn't affect the players.
00:12It shouldn't do. Just look at the quality down there.
00:41This is it. The Champions League final.
00:44They are underway.
00:46Who will be crowned club kings of Europe?
01:00And a goal for Chelsea.
01:03They've hit the front of the Champions League final.
01:09Well, here we can see it again.
01:10Look at the way he glides past the defender to create space for himself.
01:14And then through on goal, he just goes for power and smashes it past the keeper.
01:17But there's no stopping that.
01:19What a great finish.
01:21Now they get the ball moving again.
01:23What effect will that goal have on PSG?
01:25We're going to find out here.
01:28Well, he's thwarted him almost effortlessly.
01:37Poor attempt at a pass, really.
01:50And they need to get tighter here.
01:52But ultimately, up a cul-de-sac.
02:02Neymar.
02:06This could be the equaliser.
02:08Oh, but he's missed it.
02:09He's completely failed the test.
02:12Well, that was a big opportunity.
02:13And they really should be level now.
02:15They have to be more clinical in front of goal.
02:25Jorginho.
02:26Not much time to make up his mind.
02:33Hudson-Odoi.
02:36Well, they're on the scent of something positive.
02:45Well, making high-pressing work for them here.
02:48Can he put it in?
02:49Oh, tremendous block.
02:51And he's lost custody of the ball here.
02:57And a tidy tackle.
03:02Good use of advantage in favour of PSG.
03:05Well, he's gone back and awarded the free kick
03:08because there really wasn't much of a tangible advantage.
03:11Well, not deemed to be a bookable offence,
03:13but still it probably entered the referee's mind.
03:22Hakimi.
03:36Hakimi.
03:41He's in behind.
03:46Well, courage has to be part of every keeper's make-up.
03:49Well, it's so easy to commit a foul there,
03:51but he's got that absolutely right.
04:00And dispossessed.
04:05Moving forward effectively.
04:08Oh, great defending.
04:12And wilting under the pressure.
04:14And now they try to go forward.
04:22And no luck keeping possession.
04:28Messi.
04:32And it will be goalkeeper's ball.
04:45Ball lost by Chelsea.
04:55See some progress with the ball at his feet.
04:58But really sticking to the task defensively.
05:03And almost at the interval,
05:04and a story of PSG chasing the game.
05:07Stewart, what have you made of their first-half performance?
05:10Well, it's been a tight first-half so far,
05:12but they haven't quite shown enough guile in the attack in third.
05:15If, however, they can be more dynamic in the 1v1 situations,
05:18they have the quality to turn this around.
05:23And threaded through by Mbappe.
05:25And Neymar's lost the defenders.
05:28Well, a shame that he couldn't find the target from there.
05:54Well, pressing really high.
05:59Throw-in's given.
06:09Well, PSG doing well to regain control of the ball.
06:15Couldn't find a teammate.
06:17Throw-in here.
06:27Alert defending.
06:40Well, far from the ideal pass, you've got to say.
06:45Conte.
06:55And we will have just one additional minute applying vigorous pressure.
07:05And so it is.
07:06The first-half story has been rated.
07:2745 minutes separating these two sides from glory.
07:32The second half of the Champions League final begins.
07:43A very good tackle.
07:47Now deciding to test the keeper, but no problems, really.
07:54A lovely first touch.
07:55That wasn't easy.
07:57It might be perfectly set up for the counter-attack, you know.
08:05Well, it looks highly promising, but it came to nothing in the end.
08:09No real conviction in the challenge.
08:21Lukaku.
08:24Lukaku.
08:25Lukaku.
08:26A very effective challenge put in.
08:49Making progress.
08:58Again, again, again there to take it away.
09:02Mbappe.
09:04And he's in.
09:06Can they slot it home?
09:08Oh, and he comes away at the second chance.
09:11But the goalkeeper, angry with himself here.
09:18Well, when you look at this again, there's two things wrong defensively about this.
09:22First of all, the goalkeeper should not be parrying it into a dangerous area.
09:25And the defenders have to be sharp to get to the knockdown.
09:27It's not good defending all round.
09:39So underway again, following the goal that made things level.
09:50The outcome is a goal kick here.
10:04Well, a really single-minded piece of defending to make sure nothing untoward happened.
10:11Useful looking ball.
10:12Oh, a goal!
10:14As they forge ahead on this massive occasion.
10:18Feel the passion.
10:23Well, let's take another look.
10:25If you lose the ball in those areas, you're going to get punished.
10:28And that's exactly what happened there.
10:46Having Poland behind, let's see what sort of response we get from Chelsea in this game.
11:00Good tackle.
11:03Well, those stats tell us that PSG haven't dominated the ball.
11:06But that won't bother them because when they win it in deep areas,
11:08they've got forward with pace and with numbers.
11:11It's been a great counter-attacking display.
11:12Hang on a minute, Stuart.
11:14Opportunity unfolding.
11:15And a goal!
11:16To increase the lead in this final.
11:19Will they be stopped now?
11:26Well, here we can see it again.
11:27Look at the way he glides past the defender to create space for himself.
11:31And the timing of the run is just as good.
11:33As for the finish, it was never in doubt.
11:49So, back underway.
11:513-1 the score.
11:55Into the final 20 minutes.
11:58Read it magnificently.
12:00And, oh, and that challenge carried with it.
12:02Quite the element of risk.
12:03Now, what's the referee going to do next?
12:07And it's difficult to visualise a way back into the game for them now.
12:11Well, how bad can it get?
12:12That's sealed their fight for sure.
12:32Oh, showing excellent vision.
12:34Oh, it almost did the trick for them.
12:36Great defending.
12:41Breaking at pace.
13:02What can they do from here?
13:04But ultimately, up a cul-de-sac.
13:13Keeper's ball every day of the week.
13:17Well, in the closing phase here.
13:20And PSG excelling, Stuart.
13:22Yeah, this has been a good performance.
13:23They've looked really sharp going forward.
13:25And they've shown a lot of energy.
13:26They'll certainly be pleased with their overall display up to now.
13:36Well, he might be expelled from the game.
13:54Well, under those circumstances, any referee would really be put to the test.
13:58And in this case, a booking, Stuart.
14:00Well, it's a difficult decision.
14:01But I'm with the ref here.
14:03No red card for me.
14:05And they're making a change.
14:26He'll try his luck here.
14:28Well, not quite the tantalising free kick he was hoping for.
14:32Goalkeeper's ball.
14:38Aspili Cueta.
14:41And just five minutes remaining.
14:49Mateo Kovacic.
14:51Korte now.
14:54Lukaku.
14:58Here's Kovacic.
15:00Romelu Lukaku now.
15:03Might be able to set up the chance.
15:07And a goal!
15:08They've cut into the lead!
15:10It's not settled yet!
15:16Well, here it is again.
15:17And it was never really in doubt, was it?
15:19He was always going to score from there.
15:24Well, the action underway once more.
15:27And no shortage of entertainment.
15:283-2.
15:31That piece of play very easy on the eye.
15:34Can he finish them off?
15:36And under pressure.
15:37That was a fine claim.
15:41Using his physical strength to make sure he doesn't lose the ball.
15:44Full-time!
15:46Parisian pride shines through!
15:49PSG have cleared the final hurdle in the Champions League.
15:54Well, just look at the emotions out there.
15:56Joy and relief on one side.
15:58Despair and heartache on the other.
16:00See you soon!
16:00I don't even know what you're going to be in the future!
16:00Bye!
16:00Bye!
16:00Bye!
