PSG v Bayern Munich, Hernandez expects an even fiercer second leg | OneFootball

Lucas Hernandez, the 23-year-old Paris Saint-Germain defender, stopped in the mixed zone after Paris’ 5-4 win over Bayern Munich (PSG/Bayern Munich highlights) this Tuesday at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League semi-final (second leg on Wednesday, May 6). 

Hernandez: “A very complicated match, with a lot of intensity, maybe even more than today.”

How would you describe the match?

It was an extraordinary match, for all the supporters and football fans. I think they really enjoyed themselves today. There were two teams that love to attack and push forward. It was a fantastic match. In the end, we managed to get the win. Even though we know that over there it will be a very complicated match, with a lot of intensity, maybe even more than today. It’s up to us to be ready and do everything possible to reach the final.

Any regrets about finishing with only a 1-goal lead?

No, I think the team in front of us is also in great form, with excellent players who can make the difference at any moment. Just like us, they did it in a few minutes. They came back. The most important thing is to really enjoy the win and recover well so we can move on to the Ligue 1 match and then the one over there, which will be very intense.

Hernandez: “We’re not a team that’s going to sit back. We’re going to go for the win.”

What should we expect and how should you prepare?

Everyone is aware of the kind of match it will be, with a lot of intensity. We’re not a team that’s going to sit back. We’re going to go for the win. It’s up to us to recover well. It will be a complicated match, like tonight’s.
