• The last time Bayern was held scoreless was the FIFA Club World Cup quarterfinals in a 2-0 defeat at the hands of PSG
• Bayern exacted some revenge in November, handing PSG a 2-1 loss in France despite a first half red card awarded to Luis Díaz after he scored both goals
• Bayern has not lost in France since September 2017, a 3-0 loss to PSG **Three things to know about PSG**
• **Leading Scorer:** Ousmane Dembélé, 16 goals
• **Player to watch:** Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, winger
• **Form:** WWLWW, 1st place (Ligue 1) **Prediction** Bayern draws 2-2. Both teams will play it conservative in the first half, resulting in an awkward scoreless draw at halftime. Michael Olise will break the ice with one of his patented left-footed curlers. PSG will answer back with a pair of incredible team goals. When things are looking very bleak, Jamal Musiala and Luis Díaz will team up for a highlight reel goal to even the match. Both teams will be exhausted and content for the last 10 minutes, taking a draw into the second leg next week. *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on Acast, Spotify, Apple, or any leading podcast distributor…*
