PSG 0-0 Bayern Munich (first half): PSG dominates opponents

PSG vs Bayern Munich Prediction (11pm July 5): Healing the pain

In the quarterfinals, PSG just “taught” Inter Miami how to play football when they won 4-0 in a match where they played like they were walking around. Every combination of the Paris team was at a very high level, making Inter Miami unable to react.

Many people even believe that if they had played at their best, PSG could have crushed Inter Miami by a much bigger score. Overall, apart from the extremely confusing loss to Botafogo, coach Luis Enrique's team is still on the right track.

The defeat against Botafogo was a valuable lesson for PSG in their journey. They need to be really careful and avoid getting drunk against opponents who are willing to lift the entire bus and park it in front of the goal.

Bayern Munich is not that team. Under coach Kompany, the “Gray Tigers” still play freely and attack. They once scored 10 goals against the “tiny” Auckland City. However, the Bavarian club’s defense still leaves many concerns.

In this tournament, Bayern Munich only kept a clean sheet in one match (against Auckland City). In the round of 16 match, the German representative conceded 2 goals against Flamengo but it is worth noting that their xG (expected goals) index was worse than their opponent. That means, Bayern Munich only took advantage of their opportunities better, not really better than Flamengo.

Over the years, Bayern Munich has always brought pain to PSG. Statistics show that the Bavarian team has won 5/6 of the most recent matches against PSG. After losing in the 2020 Champions League final, PSG met Bayern Munich 5 more times. As a result, the French team lost 4 matches.

Coach Luis Enrique also experienced the pain of defeat against Bayern Munich when leading PSG. That was a match in the Champions League group stage this season when the Paris team lost 0-1. That was the only match in which PSG both lost and had less possession (42.9%) than their opponents under the Spanish coach's reign.

Of course, after so much pain (especially against Bayern Munich), PSG has matured and become an invincible team. The 0-1 loss to Bayern Munich last November was also the turning point that helped PSG transform. After that match, the French team won all 3 of their last group stage matches and squeezed through the narrow door to continue. Finally, they excellently won the Champions League.

Now, PSG want to prove to everyone that they are no longer afraid of Bayern Munich.
