On current form, FC Bayern are Europe’s leading side. Across 49 competitive fixtures, the Munich club average 2.71 points per game—a continental high. No major-league rival has bettered that mark. PSG, by comparison, average 2.27 points over the same sample. 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 attack spearheaded by 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, meaning the Golden Boot for Europe’s top scorer is virtually mine. By contrast, PSG’s two most dangerous forwards, World Footballer 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 Parisians began 2024 by lifting the League Cup yet exited the Coupe de France in the round of 32 at the hands of city rivals Paris FC. Bayern, meanwhile, are set to face VfB Stuttgart in the DFB-Pokal final.
