UEFA Champions League All competitions All competitions All competitions Bayern Munich and Paris SG have met on 13 previous occasions in the UEFA Champions League, with this being the most-played fixture between German and French sides in the competition. Bayern Munich have won each of their last three games against Paris SG in the UEFA Champions League, played between 2021 and 2023. The only team to have ever won more consecutive matches against Paris SG in European competition is Juventus, who beat them in six in a row between 1989 and 1997. Paris SG have failed to score in each of their last three games against Bayern Munich, with this being their longest run of games without a goal against an opponent in European competition. This will be Luis Enrique’s 50th game as a manager in the UEFA Champions League (currently W30 D6 L13). Should Paris SG win this game, the Spaniard would be joint-third on the all-time list of most wins in a manager’s first 50 games in the competition (31 – level with Zinedine Zidane), and behind only Jupp Heynckes and Thomas Tuchel (32 each). In the 276 minutes they’ve been level on the scoreboard in the UEFA Champions League this season, Paris SG have had 56 more shots than their opponents (70 for, 14 against). Despite that, they’ve conceded more goals (3) than they’ve scored (2) in those minutes of play. Bayern Munich rank first in the UEFA Champions League this season for fewest opposition passes allowed per defensive action (PPDA). On average, Vincent Kompany’s side have allowed just 7. 4 passes by their opponent before intervening with a defensive action. Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich has made more line-breaking passes than any other midfielder in the UEFA Champions League this season (59). 20 of those have been line-breaking passes into the final third, which is also the most by a midfielder so far this term. Since the start of last season, Paris SG’s Achraf Hakimi has created more chances (37) and chances from open play (36) than any other player in the UEFA Champions League. Despite that, Hakimi only has one assist to his name from the 37 times he’s assisted a teammate’s shot (Vitinha v Barcelona in April). Manuel Neuer has only saved one of the six shots on target he’s faced for Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League this season (17%). Indeed, based on the quality of shots on target faced using expected goals, the Bayern Munich goalkeeper has conceded two more goals than expected (five from 2. 9 x G on target). No player has had more shots (16) or touches in the opposition box (36) without scoring in the UEFA Champions League this season than Paris SG’s Ousmane Dembélé. The Frenchman has only hit the target with three of his 16 shots so far, while he’s also hit the woodwork on the joint-most occasions (2). © 2024 BBC.
