Key Takeaways
- Paris Saint-Germain hold a narrow 5-4 aggregate lead after winning the first leg 5-2 but conceding twice in the final minutes
- Manager Luis Enrique says his team must attack and score at least three goals at the Allianz Arena to reach the final
- The French champions lifted the trophy at this same stadium last season with a 5-0 victory over Inter Milan
Paris Saint-Germain looked comfortable when they led 5-2 with around 60 minutes played. However, two quick goals from Bayern Munich in the closing stages changed everything. The German side now trail by just one goal ahead of the second leg in Munich next week.
Despite this nervous finish, manager Luis Enrique says his team will not change their attacking approach. Bayern Munich already defeated PSG at the Allianz Arena during the group stage earlier this season. Even so, the Spanish coach believes his side must score goals rather than defend their slim advantage.
Speaking after the match, Enrique explained his thinking. He asked his coaching staff how many goals they would need in Munich. Their answer was clear: at least three. This aggressive strategy reflects confidence in his forward line.
The venue holds special memories for the French club. Last season, they won the Champions League final at this same ground, beating Inter Milan 5-0. To repeat that success and reach another final, they may need a similar performance next Wednesday.
