On current form, FC Bayern are Europe’s leading side. Across 49 competitive fixtures, the Munich club have averaged 2.71 points per game, a continental high. No major-league rival has bettered that mark. PSG, by comparison, have recorded 2.27 points over the same number of outings. Bayern have lost only twice—to Arsenal and Augsburg—while PSG have already suffered eight defeats, including one against the Bavarians in the league.
Their greatest strength is an attacking trident featuring Michael Olise, Luis Diaz and Harry Kane, which has fired 167 goals across all competitions (PSG: 125), with new records falling almost every week. Kane alone has 53 goals and the Golden Boot is effectively already his. By contrast, PSG’s two most dangerous forwards, World Player of the Year Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, have each found the net only 16 times.
FC Bayern Paris Saint-Germain
Harry Kane (53 goals) Ousmane Dembélé (16 goals)
Luis Díaz (25 goals) Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (16 goals)
Michael Olise (19 goals) Gonçalo Ramos (12 goals)
Serge Gnabry (10 goals) Bradley Barcola (12 goals)
Nicolas Jackson (10 goals) Desire Doué (12 goals)
Bayern’s attack is clearly superior, yet the two sides are defensively comparable: Munich have shipped 52 goals, PSG 53.
PSG have yet to clinch the Ligue 1 title, but with four rounds left they enjoy a six-point cushion over RC Lens. The club won the League Cup in January yet exited the Coupe de France in the round of 32, losing to city rivals Paris FC. Bayern, meanwhile, will meet VfB Stuttgart in the DFB-Pokal final.
