It’s a meeting that will stay in memories for a long time. Last Tuesday at the Parc des Princes, PSG and Bayern Munich gave us a high-flying spectacle, with a shower of goals, which ended with a 5-4 success in favor of Luis Enrique’s men.
This Wednesday evening at the Allianz Arena, Bavarians and Parisians will meet for the semi-final. And listening to the two coaches, this second act promises to be just as spectacular. This is also the opinion of Laurent Blanc, who expects a new epic battle between these two attacking teams.
“ I know Luis Enrique well, less Kompany but he seems to be made of the same wood. Neither will change his view of football. And that is a strength. Of course, in the end, only one club will reach the final. But I expect a second meeting at very high levels. Both coaches were extraordinary”declared the former PSG coach in the columns of Parisian.
Laurent Blanc: “It’s football that I love”
And to add: “ When it was 5-2, Luis Enrique perhaps said to himself: “We can win 6 or 7 to 2”, he knew that at any moment he could score. The only problem is that Bayern were also able to score a goal in each offensive. The Germans deserved to come back, because they were also very good. Considering the match, this 5-4 seems fairer to me than 5-2. Some will say: “We saw too many goals”. I never see enough of it. It’s football that I love. »
The winner of this already historic duel between Bayern and PSG will face Arsenal in the Champions League final on May 30 in Budapest (Hungary). The Gunners dismissed Antoine Griezmann’s Atlético Madrid in the semi-final (1-1 in the first leg, 1-0 in the return).
