Top 5 reasons to watch PSG v Bayern Munich | OneFootball

Here is our saga. The 5 good reasons to follow a match (with a few adaptations at times). Before each game, we’ll go over the attractive aspects with a mix of seriousness and humor. Please note, this is not meant to be an exhaustive overview. We continue here with the match between Paris Saint-Germain (1st) this Tuesday against Bayern Munich (2nd) at the Parc des Princes during the 4th matchday of the 2025-2026 Champions League (kick-off at 9pm, PSG/Bayern Munich broadcast on Canal+).

5. The return of the “magic trio”?

Vitinha (25 years old) will start, João Neves (21 years old) as well. There’s still some doubt about Fabian Ruiz (29 years old), who played 30 minutes against Nice on Saturday. This would mark the big return of the midfield trio that shone so brightly last season. Even if not absolutely at 100%, we know that’s a strong argument against Bayern Munich.

Good news, Warren Zaïre-Emery (19 years old) has been in good form lately. We could almost talk about a quartet. But the Titi still needs to prove himself in this clash, whether as a starter or a substitute. Because he will undoubtedly get some playing time.

4. Mayulu in the big leagues.

Senny Mayulu (19 years old) should also play, “benefiting” notably from the fact that Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old forward) will likely struggle to play the whole match. The Titi is even being announced in the press as the starting false 9. Another chance to prove he’s now established among the big names, as he did against FC Barcelona.

3. First place at stake.

These two teams are among those who have won their first 3 matches (along with Arsenal, Inter Milan, and Real Madrid) and, thanks to goal difference, are in the top two spots. The winner can therefore remain in 1st place, and even distance a serious contender for the top 8. It’s important to qualify as soon as possible and to be ranked as high as possible to secure home advantage in the knockout stage.

2. Two top teams in 2025.

PSG and Bayern Munich have clear attacking ideas, impressive offenses, and above-average quality in their play. They have been some of the best teams in the world in recent months (let’s avoid a precise ranking and an endless debate). We expect a high level and goals. The World Cup match this summer was already thrilling, despite the fatigue and a competition that inspires less dreaminess.

1. There’s almost nothing better.

We feel like we’ve already presented this top-level encounter well, and we hope not to disappoint anyone. However, it’s hard not to get excited about such a fixture. Otherwise, what more could we ask for? The only thing missing is that it’s decisive, like in the knockout stage, or even a final.

Here, even though it’s important for the standings, there are still other matches and a whole ranking to play for. But it’s hard to find a more enticing football match this season.
