Heavyweight clash headlines round as the revamped competition returns
Bayern Munich tonight welcome Paris Saint-Germain in a huge Champions League clash.
While both sides will no doubt have had eyes on winning the ultimate prize in the European club game, things have not worked out as planned thus far.
Bayern have already lost twice in the new-look league phase, while PSG have won only once.
With each side top of their domestic leagues, attention turns to trying to make inroads in Europe. Failure to reach the knockout rounds would be a disaster for both.
Bayern Munich vs PSG is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off time tonight on Tuesday November 26, 2024.
The Allianz Arena in Munich will host the match.

Harry Kane comes into the game off the back of another hat-trick, and will again lead the line, supported by the likes of Serge Gnabry and Michael Olise.
The game will likely come too soon for Aleksandar Pavlovic and Josip Stanisic, but the pair are back in training. Former Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha is out.
PSG are sweating on the fitness of Nuno Mendes, and will certainly be without the likes of Goncalo Ramos and Lucas Hernandez. Marquinhos is available again after suspension.
With Kane in fine form at club level and PSG having struggled in Europe so far this season, a Bayern win looks likely.
Bayern Munich to win, 2-1.
Bayern Munich wins: 7
Draws: 0
PSG wins: 6
Bayern Munich to win: 4/7
Draw: 7/2
PSG to win: 4/1
