2025-26 UEFA Champions League
Semi-finals, first leg
Paris Saint-Germain v Bayern Munich
Parc des Princes
Paris, France
Tuesday, 28 April 2026
Kick-off is at 21h00
History is on Bayern Munich's side as they prepare to lock horns with Paris Saint-Germain at Parc des Princes in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals on Tuesday, April 28.
Bayern have won each of their last five meetings with PSG in the competition, including a 2-1 victory in the league phase this season and a 1-0 triumph at the same stage last term.
However, Vincent Kompany's side were beaten 2-0 by Les Parisiens in the 2025 Club World Cup quarter-finals - the first time in five matches they had conceded a goal against the French giants.

The newly-crowned Bundesliga champions finished second in the league phase after winning seven of their eight games - their only defeat coming at the hands of Arsenal (3-1) on matchday 1.
Bayern cruised past Atalanta 10-2 on aggregate in the round of 16, but they were made to work for their victory over Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
The Reds ran out 2-1 victors in Madrid and they battled back from an early goal down in the opening minute to win 4-3 in Munich.

Kompany hailed the mentality of his players as they overturned a 3-0 deficit against Mainz at half-time to claim a 4-3 success on Saturday, April 25.
"We weren't that bad in terms of our enthusiasm and energy in the first 20 minutes, but we didn't get into the penalty box. That can happen sometimes, but then you shouldn't concede," the Belgian said.
"It felt like it could've been four or five before the break. Then it's about quality and mentality. The way the team rose to the challenge in the second half… We celebrated like we'd saved ourselves from relegation.
"I love this kind of mentality. When you need a miracle at the end of the season, you can't start from nothing. You have to gain the feeling and the belief, and that was always there today. That's the basis for me."
