The Germans and French are competing in a great European classic and they need to win. Or they will move away from the G8 in the Champions League
Big match alert for the Champions League, Bayern and PSG. The two giants will face each other this Tuesday, 26/11, in the fifth round of the Champions League phase. The duel will take place at the Allianz Arena, at 5pm (Brasilia time).
Despite their economic strength and stellar teams, both Bayern and PSG are poorly ranked. In this way, they need the reaction. Bayern has six points and a modest 17th place, which would currently place them only in the play-off zone (between 9th and 24th place). PSG, with four points, is in 25th place. In other words: even if he won, he would play in the playoffs and be eliminated.
Where to look
The match between Bayern and PSG will be broadcast on SBT, as well as TNT (closed) and Max (Streaming).
How Bayern arrives
Coach Vincent Kompany’s team is missing in midfield. João Palhinha suffered an injury to his left thigh. Thus the veteran Goretzka wins a place next to Kimmich, forming the midfield pair. Gnabry, who rested a bit in the Bundesliga match against Augsburg, returns to the starting lineup and, together with Olise and Musiala, will have the task of supporting top scorer Kane, who is going through a great phase: in the 3-0 against ‘Augsburg, scored the three goals. The Englishman is one of the top scorers in the Champions League (5 goals) and the German Championship (14 goals in 11 games).
Kane recalled that in one week Bayern will face three big challenges: PSG in the Champions League, arch-rivals Dortmund on Saturday in the Bundesliga and next Tuesday the German Cup round of 16 match against the reigning champion. national team, Bayer Leverkusen.
A week of great challenges will begin. But in the last few games we have played very well and we want this victory to keep the good momentum going,” Kane said.
How PSG arrives
PSG remains without long-term injured players – Lukas Hernández, Gonçalo Ramos and Kimpembe – but has the return of Nuno Mendes, who will start from the bench, as he is not 100%. Coach Luis Enrique should use the team with a 4-3-3, taking advantage of the qualities of Dembélé, Asensio and Barcola to seek the second victory in the competition and get closer to the G8. He said that the pressure for the result is on Bayern, but that no one expects a closed PSG.
“Bayern are favorites every time they play, in all competitions. This is true today and will also be true in ten years’ time. It is a club that has a lot of weight in Germany and in Europe. But, like Bayern, we have similarities especially in terms of attack We always want the ball and we press hard,” said Luis Enrique.
