A few hours before a semifinal eagerly awaited by all of Europe, PSG finds itself in an almost ideal position.

The Parc des Princes is preparing to host Bayern Munich in an atmosphere expected to be electric, with huge stakes: taking an advantage before the return leg scheduled for May 6 at the Allianz Arena.

With this prestigious matchup in view, one element gives Paris a real reason to believe.

This advantage comes first from the state of the squad. While Bayern has to deal with several absences, PSG is expected to recover most of its key players for the first leg of this semifinal.

Achraf Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, and Vitinha are expected despite recent minor physical issues, while the only clearly identified absence for Paris concerns Quentin Ndjantou. An important factor for head coach Luis Enrique who can prepare for this match with an almost full squad.

The situation is different on the German side. Bayern will be without several players, including Serge Gnabry, Raphael Guerreiro, Tom Bischof, Lennart Karl, and Sven Ulreich, according to the latest trends from Germany.

Added to this is Vincent Kompany's suspension, forced to watch the match from the stands after his accumulation of yellow cards in the Champions League. For a match of this level, the coach's absence from the technical area is not insignificant.
