Overview
- Kickoff is at 21:00 CET at the Parc des Princes, with Italian referee Maurizio Mariani in charge and full coverage on Canal+ Foot.
- Luis Enrique named a 21‑player PSG squad that includes Ousmane Dembélé, while Désiré Doué (thigh) is out and Illia Zabarnyi is suspended; Dembélé’s minutes remain uncertain.
- Bayern travel unbeaten this season with 15 wins in 15 matches and three goals per game on average, led by Harry Kane’s 22 goals in 15 outings.
- Pre‑match messaging set a confident tone: Manuel Neuer said Bayern have no fear and aim to hurt PSG, while Vincent Kompany praised Paris’s collective strength under Luis Enrique.
- Both clubs sit among the early leaders in the 36‑team table, and a victory would strongly improve positioning toward the playoff places given near‑level goal metrics.
