The PSG-Bayern Munich match promised to be an interesting clash, but what happened in the first leg was beyond anything anyone could have imagined. The game was a true spectacle, with the Parisians managing to secure a narrow 5-4 victory. The return leg will be played at the Allianz Arena. The Bundesliga champions are the bookmakers' favorites to win the second leg in regulation time against Luis Enrique's team.
Some football purists, a few of them, were not satisfied. They argued that the first leg between PSG and Bayern lacked defense and physical play. However, that would be to underestimate the fact that the nine goals in the first leg were entirely due to the unpredictable attacking play of both teams and their defensive commitment. Both teams bravely went out in search of a place in the Champions League final.
In the second half, Kvaratskhelia scored her second goal of the match. She finished off a low cross that traveled across the entire penalty area. Two minutes later, Dembélé scored his second goal, the ball hitting the post and going in past Neuer. This increased Paris' lead to 5-2, and it seemed the tie was over. However, Vincent Kompany's team is never truly finished; Upamecano headed in a goal to reduce the deficit, and Luis Díaz scored a spectacular goal two minutes later. The match then ended 5-4, and the tie is wide open, with the final score in Germany.

Bayern Munich - PSG: Form Analysis
In April, the average number of goals in matches involving Bayern Munich has been remarkably high; in the Champions League quarterfinals, they eliminated Real Madrid with a 4-3 victory in the second leg. But domestically, they've had all sorts of similar results: 4-2 against Stuttgart, 4-3 against Mainz, and Kompany fielded a reserve team against the Bundesliga's bottom-placed side, Heidenheim, in their final match of a league title already secured for the Bavarians. The result? Another goal fest: 3-3.
Although Luis Enrique's PSG are the current champions of the competition, sportsbooks are yielding to the idea that Bayern will continue to dominate at home; after all, they have one of the most impressive records there: they've only lost 1 of their last 29 matches.
Like Bayern, PSG drew their Ligue 1 match against Lorient at the weekend; the difference is that the Parisians haven't yet completely secured their new Ligue 1 title. In the Champions League, PSG are the competition's top scorers with 43 goals; They aim to be the first reigning champion since the 2017/2018 season to reach the Champions League final again next year, and they're looking to win for the third consecutive time against Bundesliga opponents.

Bayern Munich & PSG Squad Analysis
It's tempting to compare the attacking prowess of these incredibly talented squads, but a closer look reveals how difficult it is to decide which is better.
"Bayern's attacking trio that dominates Europe"
Olise remains the player of the moment; the Frenchman is arguably the best player on the planet in the past three months of the season. He scored Bayern's second goal in the first leg, and Kompany gave him 45 minutes in the Bundesliga match this past weekend, where he once again tore apart the opposing defense, scoring and assisting.
On the other wing, Colombian Luis Díaz oozes talent, and his goal in the first leg, leaving the defense sprawling with a feint, is proof of that. Between them is Harry Kane, who made history with his goal against PSG, becoming the first Englishman to score in six consecutive Champions League matches.
But if we're talking about chemistry, it's PSG's forward line that understands each other perfectly; launching counterattacks, they almost always seem to make the right decision. Doué, Ballon d'Or winner Dembélé, and Kvaratskhelia were the trio of forwards Luis Enrique used in the first leg and will likely use again in the second.

Our Bayern Munich vs PSG Prediction
Once again, this match promises to be a visual treat for the neutral spectator, as it also looks like a back-and-forth battle between the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 leaders, with several lead changes possible. Bayern has made a bad habit of starting behind, but they always seem to have the composure to come back from behind in the second half.
Meanwhile, and despite PSG winning their most recent matches against Bundesliga teams, history shows how difficult it has been for them to prevail against German opponents; they have only won 4 of their last 12, while Bayern has won 14 of their previous 17 against Ligue 1 rivals.
Our prediction for Bayern Munich vs PSG is: Over 4.5 goals.
