This Monday, April 27, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused, on the Paris Saint-Germain side, on Tuesday’s upcoming home match against Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 9 p.m., broadcast on Canal+) in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final (return leg on May 6). In particular, there is Parisian defender and captain Marquinhos (31), as well as Bayern attacking midfielder/winger Michael Olise (24).

L’Equipe –

A huge match is coming up, with several storylines surrounding an exceptional football occasion. One can think of the childhood friendship between Ousmane Dembélé (the 28-year-old Paris forward) and Bayern defender Dayot Upamecano (27), or possible transfer links. Harry Kane (Bayern’s 32-year-old striker) was targeted by Paris in the past, and there was also the battle between PSG and the German club for Désiré Doué (the 20-year-old midfielder/forward) in the summer of 2024.

More concretely, there are the upcoming duels on the pitch. PSG must find solutions against Munich’s attacking armada, including Olise. But Bayern also need to find a formula to stop Paris’ attack, or break down its defense. In particular Marquinhos, who continues to be criticized in France despite outstanding performances. Especially in Europe, since he is, as last season, rested in Ligue 1.

Above all, bring on this match. There is a lot to say, plenty of scenarios to imagine, but in the end only what happens on the pitch will matter. With two of the best and most entertaining teams in the world facing off.
