PSG vs. Bayern Munich: How & When to Watch Champions League Semifinal
Paris Saint-Germain welcome Bayern Munich to the Parc des Princes for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.
PSG come into this tie in control domestically, sitting top of Ligue 1 with a six-point lead and building momentum after their latest 3-0 win over Angers. Luis Enrique’s squad look balanced, fresh, and increasingly confident at the right moment of the season.
Bayern arrive with even stronger momentum. Already crowned Bundesliga champions, they are unbeaten in 19 matches across all competitions and just pulled off a huge 4-3 comeback against Mainz. Confidence is high, but their physical toll is real.
Recent history leans heavily in Bayern’s favor. The German side have won 4 out of their last 5 matches against PSG, including a 1–2 win in November 2025.
