Hernandez compares Bayern Munich and PSG

Lucas Hernandez already has a significant career at 29, with notably 2 Champions League titles among his 22 trophies. In an interview with Le Parisien, he was asked to compare the two clubs with which he reached the pinnacle of Europe: Bayern Munich in 2020 and Paris Saint-Germain, where he still plays, in 2025. It was also an opportunity to identify the better team between the two.

Hernandez: "We focused more on the medium term with a rejuvenated squad"

What are the similarities and differences in building a winning culture at PSG and Bayern? The goal is the same, but when I arrived at PSG, we focused more on the medium term with a rejuvenated squad and a sports project that emphasized young players with enormous potential. Two years later, we could see the quality of the choices made in light of our successes in France and Europe. When I joined Munich, the squad was more experienced. (...) In both cases, winning permeates every level of the club.

Hernandez: "PSG will continue to write its legend."

Is the current PSG team the strongest you've played in? The Bayern team that won the Champions League in 2020 was really not bad. We had 18 extraordinary players. We could substitute guys without losing any effectiveness. The same goes for the PSG European champion in May. The choice is not obvious. I might say, perhaps due to experience, Bayern 2020, but PSG will continue to write its legend and establish itself as an incredible collective over time."

Indeed, PSG was still more in the building phase when Lucas Hernandez arrived in 2023. While Bayern Munich already had very solid foundations and had already won 5 Champions Leagues before 2020. These are different projects, between one that still needs to make its mark and one that needs to defend it.

But, as the French international points out, the overall ideal is the same: to seek victories and titles. PSG has made good progress in this direction and does not plan to relax. A very strong team has been built, and some may be disappointed to see Hernandez place Bayern 2020 above. Even though there was a superb group.

The essential thing is that PSG is now equipped to have the ambition to win everything. Which will not be easy, of course. There is strong competition. Including Bayern Munich, but not only.
