PSG vs Bayern Munich form
PSG and Bayern Munich are of course no strangers to each other. Over the past 5 years, the two have continuously clashed in the prestigious Champions League.
The odds of winning in those confrontations mostly went to the German giants. Specifically, in the last 6 encounters, Bayern won 5 and lost only 1.
In the 2024/25 Champions League classification stage, Bayern Munich also defeated the rich French team with a score of 1-0.
However, times have changed. PSG is now at the top of Europe with a very high-quality squad. Under the leadership of captain Luis Enrique, that battle-hardened army is increasingly united and has become a very difficult team to defeat.
Therefore, in contrast to previous encounters, PSG will enter the match with the mentality of the top team in the next 90 minutes. The current strength of the Paris giants really makes every opponent somewhat respectful.
After winning the Champions League by "destroying" Inter Milan 5-0, PSG continued to demonstrate their strength in the opening match of the FIFA Club World Cup by crushing Atletico Madrid 4-0.
In the round of 16, Luis Enrique's team continued to reproduce the same score, sending Lionel Messi and his teammates out of the tournament.
Facing PSG at this point is clearly a big challenge for Bayern Munich. But that doesn't mean we should underestimate the Bundesliga champions. Bayern are still among the top European players, with countless quality names.
The most prominent of these is the attack. The return of Jamal Musiala certainly helps the front line of the Munich giants become more flexible and fearsome.
Combined with the agility and speed of Olise, Coman and a top striker like Harry Kane, Bayern's attacking ability promises to make opposing defenses have a hard day's work.
The 4-2 win over Flamengo, who beat Chelsea to top Group D, in the round of 16 was a testament to the German champions' strength. They only had 8 shots in total, but all 4 of Kane and his teammates' shots on goal turned into goals.
The match in Atlanta will not be easy to predict the outcome of the ticket to the next round. PSG is a team that loves to control the ball, pressuring the opponent to the point of suffocation. Since the beginning of the tournament, the rich French team has had an average ball possession rate of up to 72%, the highest in the tournament, and has conceded the fewest goals (1 goal).
Meanwhile, on the opposite side, Bayern is the team with the strongest attack (16 goals). But the worrying problem for Vincent Kompany's team lies in the defense aspect, where Tah, Upamecano, Laimer find it difficult to bring confidence to stand firm against the firepower of the opposite side.
