Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich

Competition – Champions League

Stadium: Parc des Princes

Date: 28th April 2026

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

Tuesday’s Champions League semi-final first leg brings Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich together at the Parc des Princes, with a place in the final the reward for whichever side can prevail across two legs. Both clubs arrive in outstanding form and carrying genuine belief, and this collision between two of European football’s most celebrated institutions has all the makings of a landmark tie.

PSG head into the match with real momentum behind them. Their most recent outing produced a composed 3–0 away win at Angers in Ligue 1 — a clean, efficient performance that kept their domestic campaign rolling while providing a timely confidence boost ahead of Tuesday night. Prior to that, they were equally commanding at the Parc des Princes, where Nantes were comfortably seen off 3–0. Before that, a 2–1 home loss to Lyon served as a brief disruption, though it did little lasting damage to what has been a strong overall run. Earlier in this sequence, PSG put in a masterclass across two legs to eliminate Liverpool in the quarter-finals, winning 2–0 at home and then securing a controlled 2–0 result at Anfield — a performance that announced them as serious contenders for the final.

Bayern Munich, meanwhile, have been simply relentless. Five wins from five matches across all competitions heading into this tie, and the calibre of opposition faced in that run only adds to the weight of it. Their most recent outing saw them overturn a deficit to win 4–3 at Mainz in the Bundesliga — a result that speaks to a team with fierce attacking depth and an unshakeable will. Prior to that, they put in a professional 2–0 away display at Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB-Pokal, and before that Stuttgart were dispatched 4–2 at the Allianz Arena. Earlier in this run, Bayern produced arguably the performance of the quarter-final round, beating Real Madrid 4–3 at home in a breathless European tie that confirmed their credentials as the competition’s most dangerous side. Before that, St. Pauli were swept aside 5–0 away in the Bundesliga.

The head-to-head record across the last five meetings leans in Bayern’s favour. They have won four of those encounters, with PSG claiming one victory and no draws on record. Most recently, Bayern took all three points at the Parc des Princes during this season’s Champions League, winning 2–1 on 4th November 2025 — a result PSG will be keen to avenge on their own ground. In the previous meeting, PSG emerged 2–0 winners at home against Bayern during the Club World Cup in July 2025, which demonstrates they are more than capable of getting the better of their German rivals when conditions align.

With expectation finely balanced, much will come down to how PSG’s attack operates against Bayern’s high defensive line, and whether the hosts can contain the visitors’ extraordinary firepower across 90 minutes. A Parc des Princes crowd in full voice could prove a decisive factor.
