Bayern Munich vs. PSG would have made an amazing Champions League final, but we should be happy that we’re getting two matchups between these electric teams. The first leg finished 5-4 to PSG. We’re not expecting the same again, because that was probably one of the best games of all time.

Prediction
Bayern wins 4-2 and advances on 8-7 aggregate. Buckle up for another wild ride! The cardiac kids will deliver an encore performance to last week’s high-flying first leg. PSG’s high press will be completely negated by Bayern’s dominant possession in the early action. Jamal Musiala will score a brace in the first half and Harry Kane will add a penalty kick on an ironic PSG handball right before halftime. Ousmane Dembélé will score in the first half and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia will drag one back early in the second half. In the dying moments of the game, Michael Olise will strike again and send Bayern to the final in Budapest.
Latest news from Bayern
Bayern go into the return game with a narrow deficit, but are well aware of their comeback qualities. In four out of 16 cases, the German record champions have managed to overturn a first-leg defeat in the Champions League era – although they’ve yet to do it in a semi-final. What’s more, they’ll have the backing of a packed Allianz Arena all in red. “You certainly notice when everyone’s in red,” revealed Jonathan Tah at Tuesday’s pre-match conference. “What I notice most is that special atmosphere. Everyone was more involved against Real. It gives a huge push when the whole stadium is behind us, that can’t be underestimated.”
Paris also know they’re stepping into a special atmosphere, but coach Luis Enrique maintained that would motivate his team more than anything: “We admire Bayern, they play brilliant football. We have to play against the crowd, that’s an extra motivation for us. We want to beat great opponents, that entices us to get the absolute best out of ourselves.”
Head-to-Head History
Bayern had won five successive H2Hs before losing last week’s first leg, and have emerged victorious from five of the last seven meetings they hosted (L2). PSG have just four wins from their last 12 matches against German sides (D2, L6), while Bayern have 14 wins from their last 17 games against French opponents (L3).
