Bayern Munich 2-0 PSG - UCL 2022-23 Replay

23:30 PM: Hello everyone and welcome to Khel Now’s LIVE COVERAGE of the Bayern Munich vs Paris Saint-Germain match in the UEFA Champions League 2022-23. I’m your host Subham Mukherjee, and I’ll be keeping you company through what promises a fascinating evening of football. Please wait for 30 Seconds for the Live blog to load.

PSG and Bayern Munich have played each other several times in recent years. They are two of the best football teams in Europe. In the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, PSG defeated Bayern 3-2 on aggregate to progress to the semifinals. This was their most recent meeting.

The encounter may be extremely competitive because both teams’ squads contain highly talented players. The form of the players, the coaches’ tactical strategy, and even the officials’ performance will all have an impact on how the game turns out. Therefore, it is challenging to forecast the precise result of a Bayern Munich vs. PSG encounter. Bayern will go with a one goal lead and try to hit back more with their attacking style of play. On the other hand, PSG will look for Messi and Mbappe magic to turn this tie around and go through the Round of 16 tie.

Player to watch

Bayern Munich: Kingsley Coman

The Frenchman appears to have finally solved his ongoing injury problems, which have dogged him for the majority of his career. In his last six games across all categories, he has five goals and an assist. As a wingback and wide player, Coman has been Julian Nagelesmann’s most significant artistic release. Coman already had two goals against PSG, with the most recent coming last week in the Champions League. This week, he will be the one to watch.

PSG: Kylian Mbappe

Mbappe has scored 17 goals in 21 games this season, making him unbeatable when it comes to goal scoring. He is a strong candidate to score in the forthcoming game thanks to his outstanding form. His display against Bayern in the first game after being substituted was crucial in giving PSG opportunities to make a comeback. He has lately surpassed all previous PSG scorers.

Team & Injury News

Bayern Munich is without the typical suspects as defender Hernandez and club skipper Neuer are both out with long-term leg injuries. Sane hurt himself during practise this week and might not play, and Mazraoui, who has heart issues, will also miss the game.

Achraf Hakimi, Renato Sanches, and injured defender Presnel Kimpembe won’t be available for PSG boss Christophe Galtier. Neymar’s absence from the second leg of the UCL match against the German giants will be PSG’s greatest issue. PSG will be hoping for something miraculous so that he can play a few minutes and have an impact.
