Bayern specializes in winning over the residents of the French capital.
Between disappointing numbers and optimistic numbers, Bayern Munich enter their match against fellow Paris Saint-Germain… UEFA Champions League In search of turning the result in his favor, which will allow him to go to the finals.
The two teams played one of the most entertaining matches in modern Champions League history in the first leg in Paris last week, ending 5-4 in favor of the hosts.
The two sides meet at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night in a game that remains open to all possibilities despite France’s advantage as a result.
The winner of today’s match will meet “Arsenal”, which defeated “Atletico” Madrid.In the final match to be held on May 30 in Budapest.
New historical no.
Nine goals were scored in the first leg, which was the highest score in a Champions League semi-final in its modern form (since 1992).
But the match equaled the all-time record for most goals scored in a single semi-final game (the competition in its old and modern forms), set by Eintracht Frankfurt’s 6-3 win over Rangers in 1959-60.
When it comes to two-way matches, the historic clash between Frankfurt and Rangers holds the record for most goals (16 goals) as it ended 12-4 on aggregate in favor of the German side, according to Opta statistics.
After the attacking play between Bayern and Paris in the first leg, both teams need to score 7 goals in the second leg to tie the historic tally.
“Bayern’s” remontada does not work in the semi-finals
Although Bayern Munich have managed to overcome first-leg deficits in the second leg of the knockout stages 4 times since the round of 16 in the competition (since 1992-1993), all of those occasions have been in the round of 16 (3 times) and in the quarter-finals (once).
As for the semi-finals, they have lost the first leg 5 times before and were eliminated in all of them, which raises pessimism for the Bavarian team ahead of today’s game.
Are Paris dismissed after scoring five goals?
While Bayern Munich will be hoping to topple Paris Saint-Germain, Champions League history has seen one instance of a team being sent off after scoring five goals in the first leg.
Such was the case with Manchester City against Monaco in the last 16 of the 2016–17 season, where the English side won the first leg 5–3 but lost the second leg 1–3 and were sent off on away goals, a rule that no longer applies.
Monaco’s win over Manchester City gives Bayern Munich hope of defeating PSG tonight.
“Bavaria” is a Parisian hub
In turn, Paris Saint-Germain have suffered more away defeats against Bayern Munich (5 matches) than any other opponent in the competition, reports Opta.
Of the teams he has faced more than once away from home, only Manchester City (100% – 3 of 3) and Real Madrid (75% – 3 of 4) have a higher losing percentage against Bayern Munich (71% (5 of 7).
“Barcelona’s” number is under threat
The two teams top the list of the most potent attacks in the competition this season, with PSG scoring 43 goals to Bayern Munich’s 42.
The record for the most goals in one game of the tournament (since 1955) is still held by Barcelona with 45 goals in the 1999-2000 season.
Final 12 or third?
In terms of finals, only Real have 18 more than Bayern Munich (11 finals), while the German side are aiming for a 12th final.
On the other hand, Paris Saint-Germain could become the most French club to reach the finals (3 times), as they are currently tied with Marseille and Stade Reims twice each.
