PSG/Bayern Munich – Kroos gives his semi-final verdict

Toni Kroos, the former outstanding midfielder for Bayern Munich (205 appearances), Real Madrid (465), and Germany (114), was invited on Sky Sport to give his thoughts on the Champions League semi-final between the German club and Paris Saint-Germain (April 28 and May 6).

Kroos: “Bayern and PSG are the two best teams.”

“I think Bayern will have to defend a little better than they did against Real. I think Paris can be a bit more clinical than Real. Bayern defended with a lot of risk in both matches, which Real could have punished even more in the second leg. If they adjust a few small things, Bayern have a good chance. For me, it’s a 50/50 match. Paris are the defending champions. Based on current form, I think Bayern and PSG are the two best teams.”

Those are fairly clear remarks from Kroos, with each team of course having its strengths and a few weaknesses. Bayern Munich will probably have to defend better than they did against Real Madrid, but these are obviously different matches. Paris will also have to do better than they did against Liverpool or Chelsea, since the German side tends to know how to punish even the slightest defensive mistakes.

Above all, as the former Germany international points out, these are two impressive teams that are about to face each other. Only one of them will be able to go through, likely after two spectacular high-level matches. Everything can turn on a single detail, and everyone can have their favorite. We can’t wait for these football nights.
