Tonight at the "Parc des Princes" one of the biggest matches of the season in European football will take place.

Paris Saint-Germain will host Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.

The two teams, champions in their respective leagues and among the strongest in Europe, will face off in what is considered a "premature final".

The reigning European champions come into this match in excellent form. Luis Enrique's team has won 8 of their last 9 matches, scoring 26 goals and keeping 6 clean sheets.

In the Champions League, the Parisians have recorded 9 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses this season, writes "Gazeta Express".

On the other hand, the Bavarian giant is also in fantastic form, with 11 wins in 12 matches in the Champions League and only one defeat.

The team led by Vincent Kompany has won 9 matches in a row and is coming off a spectacular 4-3 comeback against Mainz in the German championship.

In terms of statistics, Bayern historically has the advantage in head-to-head matches, with 9 wins to PSG's 7.

Statistics show that the matches between them are tight and often low-scoring, but current form suggests a spectacular duel with goals from both sides.

At PSG, Kvaratskhelia, Dembele and Hakimi are in spectacular form.

On the other hand, Bayern has their attacking players, Kane and Oliseh, in top form.

PSG enters this match with almost a full squad.

On the other hand, Bayern will not be able to count on striker Gnabry.

The Parisians' coach, Luis Enrique, expressed himself with great confidence: "There are no favorites in this match, but we are the best team in Europe and we want to prove that once again."

Meanwhile, the German team's coach, Vincent Kompany, praised the opponent, but remained optimistic: "PSG deserves respect, but we want to reach that level and show it on the pitch."

So, a very balanced match is expected tonight with goals from both teams.

PSG is considered a slight favorite at home, but Bayern remains the favorite to qualify for the final.

This match is expected to be a real spectacle, where two of the strongest attacks in Europe will clash for a place in the grand final of the Champions League. /Express newspaper
