This will be the 10th UEFA Champions League meeting between Bayern Munich and Paris SG (four Munich wins, five Paris wins previously) and only the second in the knockout phase, after last season’s final - a 1-0 Bayern Munich win.
Bayern Munich have only lost more UEFA Champions League matches against Real Madrid (10) than Paris SG (5), while Paris’ five wins against Munich are their most against any opponent in the competition.
Bayern Munich will be missing Robert Lewandowski, who has scored in 10 of his 13 games in the UEFA Champions League under Hans-Dieter Flick, with the Pole’s 15 goals under Flick being the most of any player in the competition since the manager took charge in November 2019.
The two players with the most ball carries with a take-on in the UEFA Champions League this season are PSG duo Neymar and Kylian Mbappe (29 each), while Mbappe has had the most ball carries ending with a shot (11).
Kylian Mbappe has been directly involved in 35 goals in 33 games for Paris SG in the UEFA Champions League (19 goals, 16 assists), while he’s scored six in seven games in the competition this season - already his joint-best goal tally in a single campaign (also 6 in 2016-17).
Paris SG manager Mauricio Pochettino’s only previous UEFA Champions League match against Bayern Munich was with Spurs in October 2019, losing 7-2. The record for goals conceded in a manager’s first two games against an opponent in the competition is 12 - Aleksandr Yermakovich vs Shakhtar Donetsk and Brendan Rodgers vs Paris SG.
This is the third time Paris SG have drawn the reigning champions of the UEFA Champions League in the knockout stages, losing both legs on both previous occasions: the 1994-95 semi-final against AC Milan and 2017-18 last 16 against Real Madrid.
2 - Thomas Tuchel could become just the second Chelsea manager to win his first three games in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League. The previous manager to do this was Roberto Di Matteo in 2011-12, the last time Chelsea won the competition.
Kylian Mbappé has just become the second player (after Haaland) to score 7 #UCL goals this season.
This is also the first time he’s scored 7 goals in a single Champions League campaign, and he’s now scored 20 goals in the competition as a PSG player!
149 - Kylian Mbappé’s opener after just 149 seconds is the earliest that Bayern Munich have conceded a goal from the start of a UEFA Champions League knockout stage match since March 2010, when Wayne Rooney scored past them after 63 seconds. Lightning.
