Bayern Munich will be taking on PSG in a crucial Champions League round of 16 tie on Wednesday.
Bayern, after a 1-0 advantage in the first leg in Paris thanks to a Kingsley Coman goal, will be hoping to make a place in the quarterfinals while PSG aim to bounce back at the Allianz Arena.
History favours the German outfit overwhelmingly as they have never been eliminated in the Champions League after winning the first leg of a tie since 2011. Bayern, currently leading the Bundesliga table, have a strong record at their home ground as well.
But PSG will gain confidence that they won at the Allianz arena in 2021 by 3-2 and the same scoreline will take them to the quarterfinals. In the 2020-21 season, Bayern were ousted by PSG in the quarter-finals stage as the French club advanced due to the away goals rule. But there will be no away goals rule this season as it was scraped off. Hence any parity in the aggregate score will take the game to extra time and subsequently penalties.
Here is the team news, injury update for the Champions League match between Bayern Munich and PSG-
Bayern have Benjamin Pavard unavailable as he was sent off in the last match. Apart from that, Manuel Neuer and Noussair Mazraoui are also out with injuries along with Lucas Hernandez, whose ACL injury has already ruled him out for the season.
Julian Nagelsmann can go with a three-man backline and Thomas Muller and Jamal Musiala will be the attacking duo just behind lone striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. The 33-year-old Cameroonian has scored 16 goals this season so far, by far his most prolific season.
PSG star Neymar injured his ankle and is now ruled out for the remainder of the season. Centre-back Presnel Kimpembe is also out for the season with an Achilles injury.
Christophe Galtier's side will have to show urgency and play the aggressor role in the match to overcome the deficit and may go with a traditional back four in the match. Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi will be the double striker up front and behind them will be the creativity of Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz.
