PSG vs Bayern Munich: Team news, lineup, prediction

In a blockbuster Champions League clash, holder Paris Saint-Germain welcome high-flying Bayern Munich to the Parc des Princes.

Both teams have made a perfect start to their 2025-26 Champions League campaign, and are strong contenders to lift the prestigious trophy.

Bayern have won 15 games in a row in all competitions, while PSG are heading into this game on the back of an eight-game unbeaten run.

Luis Enrique’s side have regained the top spot in the French league, two points ahead of Marseille after 11 games, after a recent improvement in form.

Since their 1-0 defeat against Marseille, they have won five out of eight games, with the other three ending in draws.

On Saturday, they picked up all three points to beat Nice 1-0, although the home side required a 94th-minute winner from Goncalo Ramos.

In their previous Champions League fixture, they defeated another German side, Bayer Leverkusen, 7-2 away from home, and should enter this game with full confidence.

Bayern, on the other hand, are unbeatable at the moment. They have been flawless, and look the most balanced side in Europe at the moment.

In defence, they have conceded only four goals all season. Konrad Laimer has been outstanding this season, and young Tom Bischof has stepped up whenever Kompany needed him.

Where Bayern have been really dangerous is in their attacking department, with Harry Kane leading the scoring chart with 22 goals in all competitions.

The likes of Michel Olise, Luis Diaz, Serge Gnabry, and Lennart Karl have been equally brilliant.

In their previous Champions League fixture, Kompany’s men won 4-0 against Club Brugge.

This was followed by a routine 3-0 win against Borussia Monchengladbach, a 4-1 win against Cologne, and a 3-0 win against Bayer Leverkusen.

Bayern won 1-0 against PSG at Allianz Arena last season in the group phase. PSG won 2-0 against them in the FIFA Club World Cup.
