PREVIEW: Champions League holders PSG host Bayern in semi final first leg

Former Liverpool winger Diaz has been hugely impressive in front of goal too, 15 goals and 13 assists means the front three have contributed to 53% of all of Bayern’s goals this season.

A 10-2 aggregate victory over Atalanta in the round of 16 further showed their attacking prowess as is their incredible goalscoring record in the Bundesliga.

The Bavarians have netted an incredible 113 goals in their 31 league games, having wrapped up the league already, their focus will turn entirely to completing this Champions League and league double.

Yet a double over 15 time winners Real Madrid in the last round put both Bayern’s strengths and weaknesses on full display, showing some frailty at the back that the pace of Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr were able to get some joy out of.

Bayern’s high press proved too much for Madrid as it has been for almost any side at the moment.

PSG’s left hand side took a heavy toll in their previous game when Désiré Doué and Nuno Mendes both went off injured in the first half, but they returned to first team training and are expected to feature for the Parisians on Tuesday night.

PSG will potentially be without two of their midfield starlets in Fabian Ruiz and Vintinha as the latter sustained a heel injury and has yet to return to first team training. Ruiz could be on his way to the first team again having missed the sides last league game but Enrique hasn’t ruled out the possibility of the Spaniard returning to the squad.

As for Bayern, the newest absentee will be manager Vincent Kompany after the Belgian received his third yellow card of the competition meaning he will be absent from the dugout for the first leg in Paris.

Teenage sensation Lennart Karl is expected to return from his injury that’s kept the German out for the last month, it’s unclear whether he’s fit to face PSG. Winger Serge Gnabry is still out with a thigh issue as is full-back Tom Bischof who has a muscle issue, the German duo will miss the action in Paris.

Tuesday’s game is a chance for PSG to put themselves firmly in the driving seat on their quest to retain the Champions League title being the first team since Real Madrid almost 10 years ago to do so.

For Bayern, it’s the perfect chance to them to once again display their attacking power and continue on their way to a seventh Champions League title.

The tie kicks off at 20:00 (GMT) on Tuesday with live coverage on TNT Sports.
