Bayern Munich vs PSG Stats
PSG and Bayern are the top scorers in this season’s Champions League with 43 and 42 goals respectively.
It is the first time in the competition’s history that two different clubs have each reached 40+ goals in a single edition. Barcelona hold the single-season record with 45 in 1999/2000.
Bayern have won five of their seven previous UEFA two-legged ties against French opposition and have also won all three of their single-leg knockout meetings with French sides.
Bayern have overturned a first-leg deficit four times in 16 previous ties in the Champions League (since 1992-93).
However, they’ve not done so in any of their previous such semi-final ties, going out on all five occasions.
Only one team has ever scored five goals in a Champions League knockout match and been eliminated in that tie: Manchester City against Monaco in the 2016-17 last 16, though that was due to the now defunct away goals rule (5-3 win first leg, 1-3 loss second leg).
They are in their fourth European Cup/Champions League semifinal against Ligue 1 opponents, having won each of the previous three ties.
PSG have lost their last two UEFA two-legged ties against German opposition, though their overall record in such encounters remains positive at four wins and two defeats.
Luis Enrique’s men are aiming to become the first defending champions to reach the Champions League final since Real Madrid did so in 2016/17 and 2017/18 – both seasons in which they went on to win the title.
PSG have won 36 of their 43 UEFA two-legged ties in which they won the first leg, and have been successful on 14 of 17 occasions when that first-leg lead was a single goal.
