Thomas Müller predicts Bayern Munich will beat Paris Saint-Germain, reach Champions League finale

My take: the second leg will be different. From the 60th minute onward, both teams will have the result in mind, and that’s when the adjustments come. Whoever is in the lead will be willing to sit a bit deeper, while the other takes control. That dynamic will shape the return leg

5-4 is not a disaster. There are more comfortable situations, of course. But Paris only have a one-goal advantage, and the second leg is at home.

I actually liked Bayern’s performance in Paris even more than in the Madrid matches. That consistency in their own game and that level of belief – it matters, because mentally you first have to process going 5–2 down.

Bayern kept playing their football. No reckless, all-out chaos – just a confident push for a comeback. If Bayern deliver another 90 minutes like they did in Paris, they’ll win this by one or two goals

Let’s do this!” Surely, Bayern Munich fans would take an aggregate win by one or two goals. Will it happen? There is no reason to think that it cannot play out exactly as Müller mentioned. Despite the defensive struggles that the team faced in the first leg vs. PSG, Bayern Munich has room for improvement. In short, PSG did not withstand Bayern Munich’s best shot. Meanwhile, that could have been the best that *Les Parisiens* can offer to the Bavarians. Buckle up, it’s almost time for some action. *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…*
