This Tuesday, April 28, 2026, in the Champions League semifinal first leg, Paris Saint-Germain hosts Bayern Munich. With the latest information and probable lineups, here is everything you need to know before this PSG vs. Bayern match that promises fireworks.

Can Paris Saint-Germain retain its two titles in Ligue 1 and the Champions League? For the moment, it is on track. In the league, PSG seems to have shaken off RC Lens for good.

In the Champions League, after dominating Chelsea and Liverpool without flinching, the capital club will now take on a true armada, Bayern Munich. Not enough to play into the hands of the bookmakers, assuredly.

If we look more closely at the history of confrontations between PSG and Bayern Munich, we see that no draws are recorded. Thus, PSG has won nine times, while the Bavarians have won six. In the recent past, the Rekordmeister has not left a very good memory for the French giant.

Thus, we recall the 2020 Champions League final, won by Bayern, on a goal by former Parisian Kingsley Coman. But also the two defeats in the 2023 round of 16. The same outcome last year, during the league phase, with a Parisian loss at the Allianz Arena (1-0), marked by the ejection of Ballon d'Or winner Ousmane Dembele. But water has flowed under the bridge.

The big question in PSG's ranks is whether Vitinha will be at the heart of the game. The Portuguese midfielder was injured in the match against and is not yet at 100%. He should start this Champions League semifinal first leg on the bench. For to prove that he is back in great form.
