It’s still the battle for the last 8 slots of the 2922/2023 UEFA Champions League stage. The competition has witnessed some mouth-watering games as only two clubs booked their ticket to the quarter-finals (Chelsea and Benfica) after an impressive performance last night.
The action continues in Germany, as the five times UEFA Champions League Champions will host French-based club Paris Saint-German at home, with The Bavarians heading into this game as the favourite, after an impressive win away from home, with former PSG player Kingsley Coman scoring against his former club, standing as the only goal that separates the two sides.
Bayern has been impressive on the European stage this season, with an unblemished seven wins from as many UCL games this term representing their best showing at this stage since lifting the trophy back in 2019/20, when they defeated Paris Saint-Germain in the final.
PSG can certainly take heart from their impressive return of five progressions from six overall knockout ties against German opponents, but that perhaps doesn’t tell the full story of the size of the task that awaits them. While PSG have been eliminated in four of their last six round of 16 ties and they’ve only ever come back from a first-leg deficit to progress once in 19 such UCL ties.
With the absence of Neymar Jr and Kimpembe P, the French giant will have to rise above themselves as they face the Bavarians in front of their home fans while Bayern will have to deal with PSG in the absence of Pavard, Neuer, and Lucaz Hernandez.
Will join Chelsea and Benfica in the quarter-finals?
