Bayern Munich v Paris Saint-Germain
Bayern Munich ended Wolfsburg’s four-year stranglehold on the German league title last season. The team’s route to the Champions League quarter-finals was straightforward, but a surprise 0-0 draw with Benfica prevented the German champions from topping Group D ahead of seven-time Champions League winners Lyon. Former Lyon midfielder Saki Kumagai helped the German side to a 1-0 home win against Lyon and the team’s only defeat of the group stage was a 2-1 defeat in the reverse fixture. To reach this tie, PSG emerged from the weakest group in this season’s competition with six wins from six, 25 goals and 13 different goalscorers. Both teams have lived in the shadows of their domestic rivals in the Champions League, but last season PSG knocked out Lyon and Bayern reached the semi-finals while Wolfsburg exited at the quarter finals stage.
