2025-26 UEFA Champions League
Semifinal, second leg
Bayern Munich v Paris Saint-Germain
Allianz Arena, Munich
Wednesday 6 May, 20:00
Aggregate score: 4-5
Bayern Munich will look to claim a comeback triumph over Paris Saint-Germain when the teams meet in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal tie, set for the Allianz Arena in Munich on the evening of Wednesday 6 May 2026. Kick-off at 20:00.
What happened in the first leg?
An astonishing clash at the Parc des Princes in Paris on Tuesday 28 April ended in a 5-4 win for PSG. Bayern’s Harry Kane opened the scoring via a 17th minute penalty, before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia quickly equalised. Joao Neves then put the French champions in front just after the half-hour mark, but Michael Olise made it 2-2 in the 41st minute. However, PSG went into the break 3-2 up after a penalty from Ousmane Dembele, and further second-half strikes from Kvara and Dembele saw the hosts flying 5-2 in the lead before the hour mark. Yet Bayern kept up an attacking threat and pulled two goals back via Dayot Upemecano and Luis Diaz to leave the tie 5-4 in favour of the Parisians... and with all neutrals hoping for another goal-laden thriller in the return game.
What do Bayern need to triumph?
Bayern need to win by two clear goals or more to take the tie on aggregate. A win by one goal will send this semifinal to extra time and possibly penalties. Bayern are looking to return to the Champions League final for the first time since 2019-20, when they defeated PSG 1-0 to claim their sixth European crown (adding to 1973-74, 1974-75, 1975-76, 2000-01 and 2012-13).
What’s the prize on offer?
A place in the UEFA Champions League final, set for the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary, on Saturday 30 May against either Arsenal or Atletico Madrid – neither of which has won the tournament before.
Team news
Bayern will be without Serge Gnabry (adductor) and Raphael Guerreiro (hamstring) due to injury, while Lennart Karl is doubtful due to a hamstring issue.
Bayern quotes
“We’re against the best side in Europe, because they’re the reigning champions. The result is still in the balance. But we need the stadium to have an impact; it’s a legendary place, where this club has achieved so many great things. We can’t hope for anything better.” - Head coach Vincent Kompany.
“It'll be who takes their moments [in the return leg]. There were a lot of moments out there [in the first leg], and it's probably going to be the same [in the return leg]. So, us being at home with the crowd behind us, we hope that can push us over the line.” - Forward Harry Kane.
