European football has an unmissable event this Tuesday, April 28. Paris Saint-Germain hosts Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League semi-finals, in what is shaping up to be the most attractive duel of the phase.
The current Champions League champion faces the current Bundesliga champion in a clash of giants that promises goals, intense pace and individual duels of the highest level in the 90 minutes of the first leg.
Both teams already know each other from this Champions League cycle. In the league phase, Bayern visited Paris and won 2-1 thanks to a stellar performance by Luis Díaz, who scored a double but was also sent off for a kick on Hakimi in what was a night of contrasting emotions for the Colombian. Now in the semifinals the context is completely different, with both teams knowing that the overall 180 minutes will define the finalist who will travel to Budapest on May 30.
The most anticipated duel within the game is the one between the wingers on the left. Luis Díaz, Bayern figure and key scorer in the tie against Real Madrid, will face Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a fundamental piece of Luis Enrique’s scheme at PSG and one of the most unbalancing players in the competition. Meanwhile, PSG will have the current Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembélé as another of its great offensive arguments against a Bayern that arrives with the confidence of being the fittest team in Europe at the moment.
