Bayern Munich have issued a rallying cry ahead of the second leg: they are relying on the full backing of the 75,000 fans inside the Allianz Arena to create an electric atmosphere that can help them beat PSG and reach the next round.
Despite trailing, FC Bayern retain unwavering belief in their ability to advance. In the dressing room, the conviction is clear: they can beat PSG in the second leg. Rather than waiting for a miracle, the Munich side are focused on securing a home win to force extra time or, better yet, direct qualification.
PSG felt they were heading to Budapest after their 5-2 win, yet Bayern smell an opportunity. Despite the slim margin, the record champions are banking on their famed comeback mindset and are determined to overturn the tie in their fortress of a home ground.
Stuck between frustration and praise, Bayern’s coach watched the Champions League first leg against PSG from the stands due to a yellow-card suspension—an experience he called a “disaster”. Despite that, he underlined his side’s steely mentality and knack for comebacks.
Joshua Kimmich has called for a rule change following Bayern Munich’s 4–5 defeat at Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.
Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League semi-final first-leg showdown with Bayern Munich always had the look of a potential classic, but it ended up surpassing all expectations thanks in no small part to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele, both of whom scored twice in an absolutely thrilling 5-4 victory for Luis Enrique's men at Parc des Princes.
Apart from the UEFA Champions League final, you cannot buy tickets for the Champions League directly through UEFA itself.
Instead, they are sold club-by-club among the teams competing in this year's edition. You must visit the individual club’s website for the fixture you want to attend and buy your seat from there.
Capacity is always limited for these Champions League knockout matches, and demand often exceeds available allocation.
