Former England skipper Wayne Rooney believes Paris St Germain have the speed and skill to exploit Bayern Munich's high defensive line in Sunday's Uefa Champions League final and punish them in a way Olympique Lyonnais could not.
Lyon forwards Memphis Depay and Karl Toko Ekambi missed gilt-edged opportunities in the opening 16 minutes of their 3-0 defeat by Bayern in the semi-final on Wednesday and Rooney has warned that Paris St Germain's front three of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Angel Di Maria will not be so wasteful.
"But I have a feeling forParis St Germain," Rooney, who won the Champions League with Manchester United in 2008, wrote in his column for the Sunday Times.
