Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) attempt to clinch their first-ever Champions League title on Sunday.

They will have to get past the in-form, five-time winners Bayern Munich in the final in Lisbon.

PSG are the first French side to get this far since Monaco in 2004 and can become just the second Ligue 1 team to win the competition, after Marseille in 1993.

Meanwhile, for Bayern, this is their 11th final.

The match, which kicks-off at 11:00 pm UAE time will be played behind closed doors.

The competition was suspended for five months before resuming earlier this month, with the traditional two-legged ties scrapped in the quarter-finals and semi-finals.
