5 amazing footballers who look to have played their last games for Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain locked horns in a star-studded UEFA Champions League final at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon. In what was an enthralling encounter, the Bundesliga outfit secured a narrow 1-0 victory and got their hands on club football's biggest prize for the sixth time in their history.

Both sides completed a clean sweep of domestic trophies and produced stunning displays on their way to the final, with Bayern Munich recording one of the most famous victories in the history of the game in the quarterfinals.

Hansi Flick's devastating Bavarians were at their rampant best, as they brushed aside a hapless Barcelona side with a comprehensive 8-2 victory. Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, put away Atalanta and RB Leipzig in the single-legged knockout stage ties in Portugal, as they reached the final for the first time in their history.

While the final was expected to have goals aplenty, it was decided by a solitary second-half goal by Kingsley Coman. The winger, who incidentally started his career with PSG, came back to haunt his old club, as he produced the decisive moment on the night.

As the longest European football season finally drew to a close after nearly 13 months, several players breathed a huge sigh of relief to be returning to their families, while some have the small matter of getting their futures sorted in the coming days.

Here are five players from Bayern Munich and PSG who have potentially played their last games for their respective clubs, as they look to find themselves a new home in the coming weeks.

#5 Sven Ulreich | Bayern Munich

Paris Saint-Germain v Bayern Munich - UEFA Champions League Final

Having spent the entirety of his Bayern Munich career as Manuel Neuer's understudy, Sven Ulreich could finally leave the club this summer. The German has proved that he is more than capable of being a first-choice goalkeeper, as he deputized ably for Neuer for a sizable part of the 2018-19 season.

The former Stuttgart man is 32 years old, due to which he will look to leave the club this summer in search of regular game time. His situation is also complicated by the arrival of Alexander Nubel, who has already agreed a deal to join Bayern Munich.

Nubel is set to serve as Neuer's understudy, leaving Ulreich in the fringes of the squad. After five years at the Allianz Arena, the 32-year-old could finally leave the club in the coming weeks after winning as many as 12 trophies at the club.

#4 Jerome Boateng | Bayern Munich

Much like Ulreich, Jerome Boateng is approaching the twilight years of his career and is edging closer to his departure from the club. The German international looked all set to be sold last summer after the arrivals of Benjamin Pavard and Lucas Hernandez, who can both serve as central defenders if needed.

Nevertheless, Boateng stayed on with the Bavarian giants as a suitable offer did not arrive and attempted to force his way back into the club's plans. The decision paid dividends, as he played a key role under Hansi Flick and won his second treble as a Bayern Munich player.

Boateng featured a lot more than he expected due injuries to Lucas and Sule, as he rolled back the years and produced a string of top-class performances. However, with his contract set to expire next summer, the World Cup winner could finally be moved in the current transfer window to free up funds for potential incomings.

#3 Javi Martinez | Bayern Munich

Another long-serving member who was a part of Bayern Munich's previous treble-winning side, Javi Martinez will reportedly be moved on this summer. The Spanish midfielder was the most expensive purchase in the club's history when he arrived from Athletic Bilbao in 2012 for a fee believed to be in the region of €40 million.

Since then, Martinez has established himself as one of the leaders of the squad and is one of the most decorated players of his generation. A defensive midfielder by trade, the Spaniard is also capable of slotting in as a central defender if needed thanks to his versatility.

At the age of 31, Bayern Munich cannot offer Martinez regular playing time, due to which he looks set to depart the club this summer. Fiorentina are frontrunners for his signature as things stand, as the Serie A club look to reunite him with his former teammate Franck Ribery.

#2 Thiago Silva | Paris Saint-Germain

Veteran defender Thiago Silva is a living embodiment of the fact that form is temporary, but class is permanent. Despite being just a month away from his 36th birthday, the Brazilian central defender is still capable of delivering the goods for a top European side, as he showed with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League this season.

Alongside Presnel Kimpembe, Silva was rock-solid at the back for the Parisian side and spearheaded them to the final, before they were eventually beaten by Bayern Munich.

Having been signed as one of the cornerstones of Nasser Al Khelaifi's PSG project, the former AC Milan man is one of the greatest defenders of his generation. Silva has been linked with moves to Fiorentina and Chelsea, as he looks set to carry on playing despite edging closer to his 40s.

#1 Thiago Alcantara | Bayern Munich

Midfield maestro Thiago Alcantara has been a loyal servant for Bayern Munich since joining the club in 2013. However, with a year left on his current deal, he is reportedly looking for a new challenge and could depart the Bavarian giants this summer.

Blessed with a wide array of passes and outstanding ball control, the Spaniard graduated from the La Masia academy and was hailed as Xaxi's heir. Thiago established himself as a first-team player at Barcelona and followed Pep Guardiola to Bayern Munich in 2013, where he became one of the best players in the world in his position.

The 29-year-old was it his brilliant best for Bayern in the Champions League and ran the show from the centre of the park, as the Bundesliga side completed the treble.

While Hansi Flick is a massive fan of the player and is desperate to keep hold of him, reports suggest that the Spaniard is keen on a move to Premier League champions Liverpool this summer, having agreed personal terms with the Reds.
