Match details:

Tournament: UCL 2020/21
Venue: Parc des Princes, Paris
Date: Wednesday, 14th April 2021
Time: 12:30 AM IST

Preview:

Paris Saint-Germain were splendid in the first leg in Germany and won by 2-3 after an inspiring performance from Mbappe and Neymar. Bayern Munich were the dominant side in that game but failed to convert their chances and the absence of Lewandowski is clearly diminishing their offensive potency. PSG will be eyeing a 2md consecutive semi-final appearance in the UCL and have the clear advantage heading into this match thanks to their 3 away goals in Munich. Both teams finished at the top of their respective groups. PSG average 2.17 goals per match and have kept 3 clean sheets while scoring in all of their matches while Bayern average 3.23 goals per match and have kept 3 clean sheets while scoring in all of their matches.

Probable starting lineup:

Paris Saint-Germain:

Keylor Navas (gk), Abdou Diallo, Danilo Pereira, Presnel Kimpembe, Colin Dagba, Idrissa Gueye, Leandro Paredes, Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Angel di Maria, Julian Draxler.

Bayern Munich:  

Manuel Neuer (gk), Benjamin Pavard, Jerome Boateng, David Alaba, Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, Leroy Sane, Jamal Musiala, Kingsley Coman, Eric Maxim Choupo Moting, Thomas Muller.
