PSG vs Bayern: Match preview
PSG once again failed to qualify directly for the Champions League Round of 16 and had to come through the preliminary knockout round, just as they did last season. In this campaign, they collected 14 points and finished 11th in the table. In the previous round, they edged Monaco 5-4, before thrashing Chelsea 8-2 on aggregate in the Round of 16.
PSG also swept aside Liverpool 4-0 across two matches. Domestically, the side remain in the title race and could soon secure another trophy. They currently have 69 points and a gap over second place, meaning the championship crown could soon be confirmed.
Bayern Munich have already wrapped up matters on the domestic front in the Bundesliga. The team claimed their 35th German league title and have been able to focus fully on cup competitions. Last week, the Bavarians beat Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 in the German Cup semi-final to reach the final of that tournament for the first time since 2020.
Attention now turns to the UEFA Champions League, where things have also gone very well. In the league phase, Bayern collected 21 points from eight rounds and finished second. That secured direct passage to the Round of 16. The team demolished Atalanta 10-2 on aggregate, then overcame Real Madrid 6-4 across two quarter-final matches.
Earlier in this Champions League campaign, these two sides had already faced each other. Bayern managed to beat PSG 2-1 away from home, despite playing with ten men after the dismissal of Luis Díaz.
Probable lineups
- Paris Saint-Germain: Safonov; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Zaire-Emery, Neves; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
- Bayern Munich: Neuer; Stanisic, Upamecano, Tah, Laimer; Pavlovic, Kimmich; Olise, Musiala, Diaz; Kane
Prediction
We are set for a sensational encounter in the first semi-final clash of the UEFA Champions League between PSG and Bayern. I expect an entertaining contest, and my pick is over 3 total goals.
