Tuesday evening, the Parc des Princes will be white hot for the reception of Bayern Munich, and it is an understatement to say that the date of November 4 has already been marked on the calendar of Parisian fans for quite a while. On the continental scene, the two teams are not swimming in the same waters as the competition: Leverkusen, Chelsea, or Barça have all paid the price.
The Bavarians even have the advantage of their dynamic, which has a rare insolence: 15 victories in as many matches, which gradually brings them closer to the club record in 2020 under the orders of Hansi Flick (23 victories). This Saturday, it was Leverkusen who once again suffered the law of the Rekordmeister (3-0), ruthless even with a remodeled team deprived of Kane, Olise, Upamecano and even Luis Diaz. At the final whistle, Serge Gnabry admitted having sent a strong signal to PSG: “It’s definitely a message that we sent», Confided the German international.
An opposition between the two best teams in Europe
Joshua Kimmich added on the microphone of Sky Sports : “we are on the right track, both in the game and as a team. This is the mix you need to win titles. The first phase of the season is used to position yourself. We are doing it very well currently, but we also know that no title will be awarded in November. If we are the best team in Europe? Paris isn’t bad at the moment either. Arsenal are in very good form. Real looks like they are winning almost all their matches, except against AtlĂ©tico. There are a few teams that are doing very well at the moment.”
Munich leader Max Eberl got more involved: “When we play at our best, it’s very difficult to beat us”. Opposite, Luis Enrique played the card of humility and the outsider following the Parisian victory against Nice: “we are calm, with our heads turned towards the next match which is, like the one in Barcelona (2-1), one of the best matches we can play and see at the moment. They remain on fifteen victories, it’s not badsmiled the Asturian. It will be great to meet the best team in Europe. But we are confident and we know the atmosphere that our supporters will create.” Plug in the TVs and bring out the popcorn, the show promises.
