Ahead of the UEFA Champions League semifinal match, which is at the center of European football, French President Emmanuel Macron shared his prediction. The head of state, speaking about the clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern, expressed his confidence in the Parisian side.
In an interview with L’Équipe, Macron did not hide that his personal club is another team:
“I am a Marseille fan, but today PSG are playing. Therefore, I will support them. I think they will win 3:1,” he said.
As известно, the first match of this semifinal took place in Paris at the Parc des Princes stadium. The return leg will be held on May 6 at the Munich Arena in Germany.
Both teams reached the semifinal through confident performances. The Parisians defeated Liverpool 4:0 on aggregate in the quarterfinals, demonstrating their strength. The Munich side, meanwhile, overcame Real Madrid with a 6:4 aggregate victory to advance.
According to experts, this pairing was regarded as a final-level clash. Both teams have high-level players and are capable of deciding matches in crucial moments.
In short, the first game in Paris was expected to be full of intrigue and intense battles — and it indeed was. Macron, in turn, was right about PSG’s victory, only missing the exact score. In a goal-filled and tense encounter, PSG defeated Bayern 5:4 and secured an important win.
