The narrative of the past three Champions League finals has been similar, with one team really coming out, dominating and profiting from their goalscoring opportunities early on. It is the chance to gain momentum and give the opponents a game they maybe hadn’t prepared for.
In last year’s final, Barcelona were on the receiving end of a fast start from Lyon. In Saturday’s final, between Barcelona and Wolfsburg, we will probably see both teams attempt to start aggressively.
