Team News and Key Battles to Watch
For PSG, Quentin Ndjantou is ruled out with a thigh injury, but Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Hernández, Fabián Ruiz, and Vitinha are all expected to be fit to return. Luis Enrique’s attacking trio of Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Désiré Doué will be the ones to watch going forward.
Bayern travel to Paris without Raphaël Guerreiro (hamstring), Serge Gnabry (adductor), Lennart Karl (hamstring), and Tom Bischof (calf). Despite the injury list, Vincent Kompany’s side have been in scintillating attacking form, with Harry Kane poised to lead the line against a PSG defense that will need to be at its very best.
Fans who have been following injuries across Europe’s top clubs this week will know the sentiment well — as we have covered in our recent look at the Kylian Mbappe injury scare against Real Betis, staying fit into the business end of the season is a challenge even for the very best. That piece of fortune will also decide much of how this semifinal unfolds.
Head-to-Head Record
Historically, Bayern hold the edge in this fixture, having won nine of 15 meetings with no draws ever recorded between these two giants. Their most recent encounter saw Bayern win 2-1 at the Parc des Princes during the 2025-26 league phase. PSG did however beat Bayern 2-0 in the Club World Cup last July, showing they are more than capable of turning the tide. This history of drama, goals, and one-sided scorelines makes the PSG vs Bayern Munich live encounter tonight one of the most anticipated European nights in years.
