Champions League semi-finals: Bayern face PSG in first leg

sportsApr 27, 2026107

Bayern Munich meet Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-final first leg on April 28, with referee Sandro Schärer appointed for the match. Bayern enter the tie averaging 3.5 goals per game across the Bundesliga and Champions League this season, about 22 percent more than a typical Premier League game. Paris Saint-Germain come in as the defending Champions League holders, so the fixture pits Bayern's red-hot scoring form against PSG's title experience. Jonathan Wilson notes German and French clubs often benefit from lighter domestic schedules, making this tie a key test of which club model can reach the final.
