Bayern Munich has made it to the last eight teams of the FIFA Club World Cup, and the team standing in the way of a semifinal berth is French and European champions Paris Saint-Germain. Luis Enrique has put together a well-drilled side that can beat anyone on their day. Like Bayern, PSG has only lost once in the CWC so far, with that anomaly being a 1-0 loss to Botafogo. That game aside, however, the Parisians have not conceded a goal in any of their other matches, scoring 10 goals including 4-0 wins over Atletico Madrid and Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami.
Bayern on the other hand has scored 16, 10 of which came in the first game against Auckland City but let in four which is not bad in itself but given the format of the knockouts (one-off), any goal conceded may prove costly.
This is one of the most anticipated matchups in this CWC knockout round, with the other one being Real Madrid vs. Borussia Dortmund. The winner of both these matches will meet in the semifinals. Can Bayern make the next step?
It’s Bayern time.
