PSG vs Bayern Munich LIVE: Team news and updates from blockbuster Champions League semi-final | OneFootball

What the managers have said

PSG boss Luis Enrique said in his pre-match press conference that his side and Bayern “are the two best teams in Europe, even if Arsenal have also had a great season”.

“In terms of consistency, maybe Bayern are a little bit above us. But we have shown that no team is better than us,” he explained.

“It is a real pleasure and it is deserved. You need to be ambitious to get to this stage and I think we are. We still want to go that bit further,” added the Spaniard.

Premier League has clinched fifth Champions League spot - but could get another

The Premier League could boast six clubs in the Champions League for a second season running if all the right pieces fall into place.

The extra fifth place was sealed after Arsenal reached the Champions League quarter-finals. It is the second consecutive year that the Premier League has earned an additional spot, with the English top flight at the top of the European Performance Standings (EPS).

Last term saw an unprecedented six English clubs qualify for the Champions League; five by their league position, and with Tottenham earning their place in the league phase after winning the Europa League.

The same could happen again this term, with the Premier League appearing as one of the more prominent beneficiaries to the competition’s expansion to 36 teams that came into effect at the beginning of 2024/25.

Bayern Munich plot new Harry Kane contract talks to secure star striker

Bayern Munich are poised to initiate contract negotiations with star striker Harry Kane at the end of the season, according to supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

The England captain, who arrived from Tottenham in a £100m deal in 2023, has been a revelation for the German giants, netting 138 goals in 141 appearances.

With just one year remaining on his current deal by summer, the 32-year-old has consistently expressed his contentment in Munich, where his family is understood to be well-settled.

The stark reality facing Liverpool after PSG cause Champions League deja vu

And this is the story of how holders PSG overcame Liverpool once more to book their place in the final four...

Déjà vu all over again for Liverpool, eliminated by the French champions for a second successive season, but this time without the drama of penalties or the sense of what might have been. A Paris rematch brought the same scoreline as last week, another 2-0 win. Ousmane Dembele, who got an Anfield winner last season, added a brace. Compared to last year, the margin of victory was bigger as Paris Saint-Germain secured a semi-final against Real Madrid or, more probably, Bayern Munich. This trophy may remain in their grasp for another year.

Liverpool can reflect on the damage done in Paris last week though the broader conclusion might be that, after £450m of spending, they have slipped further away from the European elite. They finished third in the league phase this year but they have rarely looked plausible winners of the competition. PSG, 11th in a large league table, are in the last four, their blend of defiant defending, electric attacking and midfield finesse looking them a class apart from the English champions.

What is the team news?

Bayern will be without Serge Gnabry for the rest of the season and Lennart Karl is a doubt. Vincent Kompany also made several changes on Saturday but turned to the likes of Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Jamal Musiala when the second-string were 3-0 down at half-time to Mainz. Bayern promptly won 4-3, with Kane, Olise and Musiala all scoring.
