Bayern famously defeated PSG in the pandemic-era 2020 Champions League final in Lisbon, in what is still the closest the Ligue 1 powerhouse has come to the famous trophy.
Curiously, that was the first time the two sides had ever met in the Champions League beyond the group stage, though they have faced off in the knockout rounds twice since.
PSG eliminated Bayern 3-3 on away goals in the 2021 quarter-finals, but a Julian Nagelsmann-coached side got their revenge two years later, knocking the Parisians out 3-0 on aggregate in the 2023 Round of 16, in what was likely Lionel Messi’s final career Champions League appearance.
Overall, the history between these teams is even except, curiously, in the matches themselves. None of their 13 meetings have actually ended in a draw. Bayern lead the head-to-head record with seven wins — including the last three — compared to PSG’s six.
