Bayern Munich and PSG to face off in Champions League semi-finals

In the semi-final stage of the UEFA Champions League, two of the continent's strongest teams—PSG and Bayern Munich—will face each other. The first leg will take place at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, while the return match will be held in Munich. Goal.com reports on this.

The winner of this tie will compete against either Arsenal or Atletico Madrid in the final to be held in Budapest.


In the Bayern Munich squad, Jamal Musiala has returned to his best form and is expected to replace the injured Serge Gnabry. Rotation players such as Lennart Karl, Tom Bischof, and Raphael Guerreiro are also sidelined for the Munich side.

Despite this, Alphonso Davies remains a dangerous weapon capable of changing the tempo of the game coming off the bench.


PSG head coach Luis Enrique announced that squad issues have been resolved. Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, and Vitinha have returned to training following minor injuries.

Additionally, Fabian Ruiz, who suffered a knee injury, has also returned to the squad. The presence of strong performers like Lucas Hernandez, Warren Zaire-Emery, and Bradley Barcola on the Parisian bench provides Enrique with extensive options.

According to statistical data, Bayern Munich is currently the most efficient team in Europe. The Munich side is averaging 2.71 points per game.

The team's attacking trio—Michael Olise, Luis Diaz, and Harry Kane—have scored a combined 167 goals across all competitions. Kane alone is the clear leader in the Golden Shoe race with 53 goals.

In the Parisian attack, Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are the primary sources of danger, though each has scored 16 goals this season. Defensively, the statistics for both teams are nearly equal: Bayern Munich has conceded 52 goals, while PSG has conceded 53.

The Munich side arrives in Paris on the back of nine consecutive victories.
