Bayern Munich take on the visitors PSG in the second leg of UEFA Champions League 1/8-finals. First leg result: 1-0. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 8th at Allianz Arena (Munich).
Bayern Munich won the treble in 2020, meaning they not only won the domestic double but also the Champions League. However, their coach Hansi Flick fell out with the management, particularly with Salihamidzic. As a result, they released Hansi to the national team, and he was replaced by Nagelsmann, the country's main young coaching talent. However, Nagelsmann's first year in Munich was at least mediocre - they were eliminated early and even embarrassingly from the Champions League and the cup, and it's hard to imagine how any coach could not have won the "silver salad bowl." Although there are now questions about this. The favorite has made too many mistakes, particularly in the winter, in January-February, and in the end, Borussia Dortmund caught up. At the same time, the team is currently going well in Champions League. Not only was the group stage traditionally successful in the fall, when the Germans proved stronger than Barcelona and Inter, but there was also a minimal victory in Paris.

PSG, or rather their board, have long dreamed of winning the Champions League. Successes on the domestic arena have long been tiresome. It is clear that top stars like Neymar and Messi were not brought in for that reason, and they are keeping Mbappe from leaving for Real Madrid. Despite an abundance of winter failures, they manage to keep all their pursuers at an impressive distance in the French League 1. They can concentrate all their forces on the fight in the European Cup. But at the same time, the Champions League cannot be considered successful for Galtier's star wards. Yes, in the fall, they confidently won all matches against not only Maccabi but also Juventus. However, the Parisian team did not manage to beat Benfica even once - twice 1-1. As a result, the Portuguese took first place in the group and received Brugge as their opponent in the round of 16 - and it seems they will pass it without problems. The Parisians, on the other hand, face a giants just like in 2021, when they faced Real, and now it's Bayern. And they lost to the Germans again.
It was Bayern in 2020, when PSG finally made it to the final, that won. By the way, as in February, the only goal was scored by Coman, a former “Parisian”. However, the French already took revenge when, in the spring of 2021, the sides exchanged victories in the quarter-finals, and Mbappe and the company went further due to the still valid away goal advantage rule. It will be an interesting fight, and it is far from certain that the Germans will justify the status of the pair's favorite. But still, you should not expect outrageous entertainment - we are waiting for “total less than 3.5 goals”.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 scored goals.
