A blockbuster European showdown awaits as Paris Saint-Germain host Bayern Munich in matchday four of the UEFA Champions League league phase. Both sides, serial winners in their respective domestic leagues, currently occupy the top two spots in the group and enter the clash in formidable form.
PSG, fresh off a dramatic 1-0 win over Nice courtesy of a 94th-minute strike, remain unbeaten in eight games across all competitions W5, D3. Their attacking firepower was on full display during the 7-2 demolition of Bayer Leverkusen on matchday three that sent fans wild in disbelief , and another win here would see them achieve their longest-ever winning run in the Champions League. However, Softfootball understands that they've failed to win their fourth group-stage game in each of the last four editions, leaving fans cautiously optimistic.
Bayern, meanwhile, continue to operate like a well-oiled machine. A 3-0 triumph over Leverkusen at the weekend maintained their perfect Bundesliga record, nine wins from nine, and their European campaign has been equally ruthless. Having already dispatched Chelsea, Pafos, and recently Club Brugge in a 4-nil victory , Vicent Kompanyl's men are on a 15-game winning streak across all competitions. Yet, they haven't won any of their last five Champions League matches against the competition's reigning champions D1, L4, a record they'll be eager to amend in Paris.
