PSG v Bayern Munich – likely line-ups for the first-leg semi-final | OneFootball

This Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain face Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League semi-final (return leg on May 6) (kick-off at 9 p.m., broadcast on Canal+). This Monday, L’Equipe revealed the likely lineup for each side.

PSG (4-3-3) –

Kvaratskhelia – Dembélé – Doué

Neves – Vitinha – Zaïre-Emery

Mendes – Pacho – Marquinhos – Hakimi

Safonov

Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1) –

Kane

Diaz – Musiala – Olise

Pavlovic – Kimmich

Laimer – Tah – Upamecano – Stanisic

Neuer

These two lineups seem highly likely, even if surprises are always possible. A degree of caution remains, as coaches Luis Enrique (PSG) and Vincent Kompany (Bayern) are not going to give away any clues to the press. But the first-choice teams have taken shape over the course of the matches, and no rotation is expected in the starting lineups.

There is still a little suspense on the PSG side in particular. Vitinha is due to test himself today as he returns from a minor injury (heel inflammation), while it is unclear how ready Fabian Ruiz would be to start in such a big clash. There is also the option of Bradley Barcola in attack, more likely in place of Désiré Doué. But the fact that the latter was rested on Saturday in Angers seems to indicate that he will start.
