Bayern Munich vs PSG Match Details, Date, Time, Predictions, Lineups & More
- Tournament: UEFA Champions League semi-final, second leg.
- Match Date: Wednesday, 6 May 2026.
- Time: 21:00 CET.
- Venue: Fußball Arena München.
- Location: Munich, Germany.
- First leg: PSG 5-4 Bayern Munich.
This tie has already produced one of the wildest games of the season. UEFA notes that Paris and Bayern are the two top scorers in this 2025-26 Champions League campaign with 43 and 42 goals respectively, which is why another open, high-scoring night would not be a surprise in Munich.
Team News and Analysis
Bayern Munich
Bayern go into the second leg with a powerful squad built around Manuel Neuer, Dayot Upamecano, Jonathan Tah, Josip Stanišić, Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Jamal Musiala, Michael Olise, Serge Gnabry, Luis Díaz, Harry Kane, and Vincent Kompany’s coaching staff.
Bayern have plenty of experience, control in midfield, and enough attacking quality to overturn a one-goal deficit at home.
The first leg also showed Bayern’s firepower. Remain one of only two teams to have scored 40+ goals in a single Champions League season, and that Harry Kane is still in the race for the scoring title with 13 goals in the competition. That makes Bayern dangerous even when they are chasing the game.
PSG
Paris arrive in Munich as the holders and with huge confidence despite being away from home. Their UEFA squad page lists Lucas Chevalier, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, João Neves, Warren Zaïre-Emery, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembélé, Gonçalo Ramos, and Fabián Ruiz among their key options.
Paris is the reigning champion and one of the most complete sides in Europe right now.
PSG’s biggest strength is their attack. UEFA highlighted that the club has reached 43 Champions League goals this season, and that Kvaratskhelia, Dembélé and the midfield runners give them a constant threat in transition and possession.
Paris also know they do not need to change their identity just because they are away from home, as Luis Enrique said the team will keep attacking.
Head-to-Head Record
Bayern have won 9 of the 16 Champions League meetings between the clubs, while Paris have won 7.
Bayern also beat PSG 2-1 in the league phase earlier this season, but Paris answered with the massive 5-4 first-leg win in this semi-final. That leaves the overall tie finely balanced and gives both sides real belief.
Total Wins:
- Bayern Munich: 9 Wins
- Paris Saint-Germain: 8 Wins
Total Goals Scored:
- Bayern Munich: 25 Goals
- Paris Saint-Germain: 21 Goals

Key Players to Watch
For Bayern, Harry Kane is the obvious headline name after reaching 13 Champions League goals, while Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala can unlock a defense in a tight game.
For PSG, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembélé are the biggest threats, and Vitinha is key to controlling the game in midfield.
Match Prediction
The first leg was so open that the second leg could easily go either way. Bayern have home advantage and the kind of attacking quality that can quickly flip the tie, but PSG have already shown they can hurt Bayern in every phase of play.
This should be another high-tempo, chance-filled match, and the first team to lose control may be punished badly.
- Prediction: Bayern Munich 4-2 PSG.
