Bayern: Bayern and PSG will collide again in a matchup that seems to be becoming a classic in Europe in recent years.
The Bavarians, who lifted their last Champions League trophy against the Parisian club in 2020 thanks to a Coman goal, have defeated PSG by the same scoreline in three of their last four meetings.
Bayern, who have been eliminated only once from their last 12 UCL round of 16 appearances, will be looking to record their 16th win in their last 18 top-tier European games at the Allianz Arena.
Julian Nagelsmann comfortably topped Group C, winning all of their six games for a total of 18 points. In the Bundesliga, they have also been a rock-solid team, as they are leading the standings, tied to Borussia Dortmund with 49 points, having lost only two games so far.
PSG: The French giants will go into the game at Allianz Arena hoping to see the best Kylian Mbappé, who made history last weekend in the 4-2 team’s win over Nantes by becoming the club’s top-scorer ever, netting the fourth and final goal of the game.
Christophe Gaultier’s men will try to avoid being kicked out of this round for their fifth time in seven campaigns and will certainly need the Messi and Mbappé that shocked the world with their impressive performances at the World Cup if they want to stand a chance of progressing.
PSG’s dominance in the Ligue 1 is once again unquestionable, commanding the table with 63 points, eight points clear of the second-placed Olympique Marseille, but they now have the hard task of translating their superiority in the domestic competition into the UCL.
