The stage is set for another Champions League classic. After a breathtaking 5-4 thriller in the first leg, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are ready to do battle once more in the second leg of the semifinals. If you thought last week's goal-fest was electric, get ready for the encore.
That first leg had everything—lead changes, defensive lapses, and non-stop drama. It was a stark contrast to the other semifinal between Arsenal and Atlético Madrid, which ended in a cagey 1-1 draw. But this tie? It's been all-out attack from the opening whistle.
Here's the key twist: since 2022, the away goals rule is no longer in effect. That means Bayern can't just sit back and rely on a single-goal win. To advance, they need to win by two goals or more—or win by one and take PSG to a penalty shootout. A draw or a loss sends PSG straight to the final in Budapest.
The Prediction: Bayern wins 4-2, advancing 8-7 on aggregate. Buckle up—the cardiac kids are about to deliver an encore. Expect Bayern's dominant possession to neutralize PSG's high press early on. Jamal Musiala bags a brace in the first half, and Harry Kane adds a penalty after a cheeky PSG handball just before the break. Ousmane Dembélé pulls one back for PSG, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia drags another goal home early in the second half. But in the dying moments, Michael Olise strikes again to send the Allianz Arena into a frenzy and Bayern to the final.
