The clash between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain next Tuesday in the Champions League is particularly anticipated in France, but also across the Rhine. While the two teams are currently poorly ranked in the competition – the Roten are in a surprising 17th place, synonymous with the play-offs, and the Rouge et Bleu in 25th, synonymous with elimination – they are approaching this meeting with positive momentum.
On the Parisian side, the capital club remains on two victories in Ligue 1, against Angers (4-2) and Toulouse (3-0), after its defeat against Atlético Madrid (2-1) in the Champions League. For his part, the Rekordmeister, undefeated for six matches in all competitions, recently won with authority against Augsburg (3-0) on Friday in the Bundesliga.
Luis Enrique and Kompany, two confident coaches
Like the Parisian coach
Luis Enriquewho spoke with serenity during his press conference on Friday, his Bavarian counterpart Vincent Kompany also displays great confidence before this shock. He approaches this meeting as a key stage in an intense week, which will continue with a Klassiker on the pitch at Borussia Dortmund on November 30.
“We always want to face the best teams. PSG is a big match, and then there will be a classic against Dortmund. But I always focus on the match ahead. So it is important to approach the match against Paris with freshness. We managed to gain confidence,” declared the Belgian technician this Friday for DAZN. The fact remains that the latest clashes between the two clubs turned to the advantage of Bayern, winner of both legs (1-0, 2-0) in the round of 16 of the Champions League in 2023.
