“The two best teams in Europe”, according to Parisian coach Luis Enrique, will meet face to face on Tuesday April 28 in the Champions League semi-final. PSG and Bayern Munich will challenge each other in a Parc des Princes which risks being in meltdown.
Paris, defending champion, has regained its best level to chart the path to its glory and its destiny. To once again experience the thrills and dizziness of major European events. Thanks to its men of the big nights - Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who shine at the right moment - PSG is on course to conquer a second consecutive supreme title, as Zidane's Real Madrid did for the last time, ultimately crowned three seasons in a row (2016, 2017, 2018).

But before seeing Budapest, scene of the final on May 30, a huge challenge faces the Parisians, that of eliminating Bayern Munich and their 167 goals in 49 matches, all competitions combined this season (including 38 in the Champions League). A Bavarian team carried by an incredible offensive trident: Michael Olise, Luis Diaz and Harry Kane (92 goals between them).
“All the players are ready, it’s the magic of the Champions League, which gives a special energy to the players, they want to be there,” reassured Luis Enrique. “We must not motivate, it’s quite the opposite, (we must) calm down. It’s a balance,” he insisted.
