PSG can certainly have regrets given the scenario of the first round. Although it was tossed around during the first half hour and conceded the opener, the capital club in fact led 5-2 against Bayern Munich before slowing down and seeing the Bavarians return to 5-4.
However, this success necessarily constitutes an advantage when going to Munich for the second round. The Football Meets Data statisticians also consider that Luis Enrique’s men now have a 58% chance of qualifying for the final.
Despite the impressive season delivered by Bayern Munich, still in the running for a quadruple, PSG would now be the favorite in this semi-final which looks like a final before its time. An opinion shared by Valérien Ismaël, former player for the German giant. Blame it on Bayern’s defensive shortcomings.
“The Parisians can hurt them very badly”
“Bayern concedes a lot of goals (11 in the last three matches). They also took three against Real. The question is whether they will manage to remain airtight to qualify, he confided to the microphone of RMC.
I hope it will be a fantastic match like the first leg. »
“They are so dominant in the league that they force the opponent to defend very low. The defenders are very high. There are many spaces behind, he explained.
The Parisians can hurt them very badly. This is where Paris has evolved compared to last year. They are capable of suffering, of defending everyone. They are very bad, we saw it in Liverpool. In this match, Paris will be the favorite even if Bayern is a formidable team, especially at home. With the Parisian attack, it will be difficult for the defense. »
