Key Players:
Analysis:
Bayern Munich are coming on the back off a 1-0 victory over RB Leipzig and would have a lot of momentum on their side. Leon Goretzka scored the goal for them and they are currently at the top of the Bundesliga table with 64 points and have solidified their chances of winning the title. They had also topped their Group A Champions League standing with 5 wins and 1 loss. Bayern also had a 6-2 aggregate against Lazio in the last 16 and will certainly be on cloud nine. However, the absence of Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry may hamper their confidence a bit.
On the other hand, 22-year-old Kylian Mbappe will be the marquee player for PSG. He is the youngest to score 25 goals in the UEFA Champions League and is a vital cog in the wheels of PSG. PSG are presently second in the Ligue-1 standings and had topped their group in the Champions League standings with 4 wins and 2 losses. In the round of 16, they won by an aggregate of 5-2 against Catalan giants, Barcelona.
