UCL Semi-final - Leg 1: April 28, 2:00pm
Where: Parc des Princes, Paris
- PSG and FCB are meeting in the Champions League for the 15th time already. This is the ninth in the last nine seasons alone.
- Bayern have come out on top in each of the last five encounters with the club from the French capital, including the 2-1 win in Paris in November in the league phase.
- No other club have managed such a winning run against PSG in Europe’s premier club competition. In addition, FCB have won 14 of their last 16 European matches against teams from Ligue 1 (two defeats).
- After a one-year absence, Bayern are back among the best four teams in Europe. It’s their 14th appearance in total in the UCL semi-finals, moving them above FC Barcelona (13 semi-finals) and with only Real above them. The Madrid club have reached the semis no fewer than 17 times.
- Such is the attacking quality on both sides, both Bayern and Paris have scored 38 goals so far in this Champions League season, the joint most in the competition.
- PSG have already set a new club record, while the Munich men are chasing their best tally of 43 from the 2019/20 campaign.
- The Parisens have scored at least two goals in each of their last eight Champions League knockout games.
- Harry Kane has 12 goals in this year's tournament. No other English player has ever scored so many goals in a Champions League or European Cup campaign.
- Kane has also scored in five consecutive games in the competition, equalling his countryman Steven Gerrard’s record from the 2007/08 season.
- Kane has netted in each of Bayern’s four knockout matches this season and is now going after Robert Lewandowski’s record as the only Bayern player to score in five games in the knockout stages (from 2016 to 2018).
- The English striker has provided one assist this season too and become only the second player after Cristiano Ronaldo to register 12 or more goal involvements in three successive seasons.
- Luis Enrique (PSG) will become the fastest manager to reach 50 UCL wins (in 77 games) if PSG wins tomorrow, beating Pep Guardiola's record of 80 games.
- Vincent Kompany is suspended for this match and will not be on the touchline.
- Luis Díaz has scored in three successive UCL matches, with a habit of striking late. Seven of his last 9 club goals have come after the 60th minute.
- Michael Olise has recorded 29 assists across all competitions this season. He is just three assists away from breaking Lionel Messi’s all-time record of 31 assists in a single season (2011/12).
