PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN VS BAYERN MUNICH [5-4] - CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI-FINAL FIRST LEG 2025/2026 - TACTICAL ANALYSIS
Paris Saint-Germain hosted Bayern Munich for the first leg of the 2025/2026 UEFA Champions League semi-final at Parc des Princes.
Widely gaining popularity as one of the most entertaining games in football history, this fixture had it all, with the hosts edging past their competitors with a 5-4 win.
PSG and Bayern have two of the most ruthless attacking trios in Europe this season, as evidenced by the quality, speed, and effectiveness of their attacking moves on the night.
Both sides, on several occasions, opened up their opponents with ease, which made for a nerve-wracking game overall.
Through this tactical analysis, we aim to discuss Paris Saint-Germain’s and Bayern Munich’s approach to the game, areas both sides struggled in, and find out where Bayern can hurt PSG in the second leg.
Paris Saint-Germain Vs Bayern Munich Lineups & Formations
Let's look at how Luis Enrique and Vincent Kompany fielded their squads.
PSG Lineup Vs Bayern Munich
PSG played in a 4-3-3 formation.
Matvey Safonov started between the sticks.
The back four were Achraf Hakimi (right-back), skipper Marquinhos (right centre-back), Willian Pacho (left centre-back), and Nuno Mendes (left-back).
The latter was replaced by Lucas Hernández (84’).
João Neves, Vitinha, and Warren Zaïre-Emery were the midfield three.
The latter was substituted by Fabián Ruiz at the 64th minute.
Désiré Doué (right) and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (left) were the two wingers, with Ousmane Dembélé as the striker.
Bradley Barcola came on for Doué (70’) and Senny Mayulu for Kvaratskhelia (84’).
Bayern Munich Lineup Vs PSG
Bayern played in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Skipper Manuel Neuer started in goal.
Josip Stanišić (right-back), Dayot Upamecano (right centre-back), Jonathan Tah (left centre-back), and Alphonso Davies (left-back) were the back four.
Konrad Laimer replaced the latter at 46 minutes.
Joshua Kimmich and Aleksandar Pavlović played as the double pivot.
The latter made way for Nicolas Jackson (90’ +3).
Michael Olise (right) and Luis Díaz (left) were the two wingers, with Jamal Musiala as the attacking midfielder.
Musiala came off for Leon Goretzka (79’).
Harry Kane played as the lone striker.
Paris Saint-Germain & Bayern Munich Style Of Play
PSG and Bayern share similar identities in their approach to the game.
Both sides are brilliant examples of total football, showcasing frequent positional rotations both in and out of possession.
An example: Vitinha, a centre-midfielder, operates in the wide channel.
He attracts multiple opponents before moving the ball to the half-space.
Meanwhile, the winger moves into the half-space.
For Bayern, Kane frequently dropped deep into midfield to offer an additional option for progression.
Whenever the centre-backs followed him, other teammates exploited the space higher up the pitch.
This was the case with Bayern’s defenders as well.
During a build-up situation for PSG, both Bayern centre-backs (Upamecano and Tah) follow an opponent each deep into the mid-third, while Stanisić also follows an opponent in the half-space.
With defenders from both sides jumping in this manner, there were multiple instances when they delayed the opposition’s progression or even won the ball.
However, there were also scenarios where the opponent bypassed the pressure and went straight to a counterattack.

ARSENAL SUBMIT OFFER TO SIGN WORLD CLASS BAYERN MÜNCHEN STAR
 |
| Bayern Munich stars Harry Kane and Joshua Kimmich |
Arsenal have made their move for an elite Bayern Munich star, with two reports in Germany providing full details on the proposed move.
The need for a potent new striker is hoovering up many of the headlines regarding Arsenal and their transfer plans for the summer. However, additions in other areas are being sought by the club ahead of potential exits.
Midfielders Jorginho (33) and Thomas Partey (31) are both out of contract at season’s end. According to the latest out of Germany, Arsenal want Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich to replace Jorginho specifically.
Kimmich is in his tenth season in Munich and despite being 30 years of age, is a world class operator in two positions. Indeed, the versatile German is equally at home playing at right-back or in central midfield.
Kimmich has lifted 20 major honours during his time with Bayern including eight league titles and a Champions League, though his storied spell with the Bundesliga’s biggest club looks to be coming to an end.
Kimmich is out of contract in the summer and had been engaged in talks over an extension with Bayern. But per BILD chief Christian Falk, Bayern recently rescinded the offer they’d put to Kimmich.
Falk wrote on X: ‘FC Bayern has withdrawn its offer for a new contract for Joshua Kimmich.’
A subsequent update from Sky Germany has shed light on precisely why talks between Bayern and Kimmich broke down.
They revealed Kimmich informed Bayern he had received two ‘official and written offers’ from clubs outside of Germany.
With those offers in his mind, Kimmich continued to stall on penning fresh terms in Munich, much to the club’s annoyance.
Arsenal are claimed to be one of the two clubs who’ve made a move, with the report stating they’ve ‘intensified its efforts to sign Joshua Kimmich in recent days and has held concrete talks.’
What will Joshua Kimmich decide?
It’s important to note that while Bayern have withdrawn the offer they had made, Sky Germany insisted Bayern could still attempt to forge an extension.
The final offer Bayern made contained a gross salary offer of €20m per season that would run until the end of the 2027/28 season (three-year deal). €20m per year equates to a pre-tax weekly wage of around £315,000.
Bayern officials are said to have become ‘astonished and angry’ that this sizeable offer was not enough to convince Kimmich to sign.
As such, any new offer they put on the table will either be at that same amount or even lower.
With relations between the parties appearing to be souring, the door is ajar for rival clubs like Arsenal to strike.
And given Kimmich has thus far resisted the temptation to re-sign with Bayern despite their sizeable offer, there appears to be a willingness to explore a move away.
The identity of the other team to put an official contract offer to Kimmich is believed to be PSG.
