Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are in the same category. That of the European heavyweights. Opposed in the 1/2 final, the two teams went blow for blow during the first round in the ring at the Parc des Princes. Marquinhos’ teammates won on points with a score of 5 to 4. But everything is still possible during the final round at the Allianz Arena. In the red corner, the Bavarians know that Paris is coming to fight and win in this clash of the titans. In Germany, we are aware that we will have to bring out the perfect match. On Monday, the German press also mentioned the great concern of the Bavarians, little reassured by their defense in recent days. The Munich residents have conceded 11 goals in their last 3 outings, including 5 in the French capital.
Despite this, there are also elements that make one believe in a qualification. Kicker revealed the reasons why the Recorder can be confident in bringing Paris to its knees. First of all, there is its offensive armada. “Kane, Olise and Luis Diaz will have to lead the charge”writes the German media. CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen is also convinced of this. The boss explained on the club’s official website that Bayern Munich must approach this match with “humility, because Paris has an exceptional team, but also with confidence” while adding: “We cannot relax our efforts for a single second. What gives me confidence is that we have already scored 85 goals at the Allianz Arena this season, including 20 in the Champions League alone. We want to reach the final and, to do that, we must once again thrill the football world against this immensely strong Parisian team.
Bayern Munich has reason to believe it
But the Bavarians should not rely only on that. On Sky GermanyLothar Matthäus explained: “I expect more ball domination from the team as they play at home and have to come from behind. Against Real Madrid, the situation was different. Bayern simply couldn’t afford to lose by more than one goal. Against PSG, victory is imperative. In the first leg, both teams displayed their offensive qualities, but PSG also revealed defensive weaknesses. Bayern must exploit these weaknesses. Bayern conceded 3 goals against Heidenheim, while Paris Saint-Germain conceded 2 against Lorient. It will be important not only to focus on attacking play, but also to work regularly without the ball.
The locals will therefore have to exploit the defensive weaknesses of the Parisians. Kicker then mentioned “the freshness factor and what can give Bayern hope against Paris”. If PSG can count on elements who have sometimes been slow this season due to injuries, like Ousmane Dembélé or Fabian Ruiz, the German club will be able to do the same with Tom Bischof, who returned to the group against Heidenheim after a calf injury. Kicker specifies that this is good news since he can help out at left-back. Regarding Lennart Karl, on the flank, there is hope regarding his presence against Paris. Both of these options are a good thing for Kompany.
The Bavarians promise hell to PSG
Kicker adds that if the match lasts more than 90 minutes, Bayern Munich, who will benefit from the absence of Achraf Hakimi, will have a definite advantage. “Not only is Achraf Hakimi unavailable for the away team, but the first leg impressively demonstrated the fitness of Kompany’s team, even as the end of the season approaches. While several PSG players struggled to run, the visitors did everything to equalize at 5-5. There is a glimmer of hope for Wednesday, where the question is whether Kompany will again favor the speed of Alphonso Davies at left-back or whether he will bring him in later. For MatthaĂĽs, Kompany must play Laimer.
“I would never do without Konrad Laimer, because he has always been reliable. This is why I was surprised that he did not start in Paris. Laimer and Dayot Upamecano, with their tackling and body language, are the kind of players a team needs.” Finally, Germany is convinced that the Allianz Arena will be a major asset tomorrow evening. Jan-Christian Dreesen also recognized this. “We need all the votes on Wednesday. We need 100% “Mia san Mia”, the total unity of our Bavarian family, and ideally all the supporters in red. The Allianz Arena is difficult to storm – and that’s exactly how Paris must feel from the moment it kicks off. It’s only halftime. Now we need a big European evening together in Munich. » Bayern therefore wants to focus on its offensive power, returns from injury and the Allianz Arena. The club also believes that it has a superior physical form to that of PSG and wants to exploit the Parisian defensive flaws and the talents of Luis Diaz to take advantage of the absence of Achraf Hakimi to win this fight. But that will not stop PSG, who also have reasons to believe in it.
