Bayern München vs Paris Saint Germain: UEFA Champions League Semi-Final Preview
Bayern München host Paris Saint Germain at Allianz Arena, Munich, on 2026-05-06 (19:00 UTC) in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Bayern arrive as group phase high-flyers with 21 points and a +14 goal difference, while Paris Saint Germain come in with 14 points and a +10 differential. This is a last‑four tie, not a 1/8 final.
Bayern München Availability
Bayern are hit by multiple absences.
- M. Cardozo (Thigh Injury) is sidelined.
- S. Gnabry (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.
- C. Kiala (Ankle Injury) is sidelined.
- W. Mike (Hip Injury) is sidelined.
- B. Ndiaye (Inactive) is sidelined.
Gnabry’s absence removes 2 goals and 5 assists in this competition, a notable creative loss. However, top scorer H. Kane (13 goals, 2 assists) and L. Díaz (7 goals, 3 assists) are available to lead the attack, supported by top assist provider M. Olise (5 goals, 6 assists).
Paris Saint Germain Availability
Paris Saint Germain also face key losses.
- L. Chevalier (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.
- A. Hakimi (Thigh Injury) is sidelined.
- Q. Ndjantou (Muscle Injury) is sidelined.
Hakimi’s 6 assists from full-back make this a major blow for their build-up and wide threat.
Impact Summary
Bayern’s missing players cost them mainly depth and Gnabry’s 7 direct goal contributions, but their core firepower (Kane, Díaz, Olise) remains intact. Paris Saint Germain lose a crucial supply line in Hakimi, placing even more creative responsibility on K. Kvaratskhelia (10 goals, 5 assists), Vitinha (6 goals, 1 assist), and D. Doué (5 goals, 4 assists) to sustain their attacking output.
