The UEFA Champions League returns to the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night with holders Paris Saint-Germain taking a slender advantage into a high-stakes second leg against six-time winners Bayern Munich.
PSG’s French international, Ousmane Dembélé has already set the tone for what promises to be a high-octane UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain in Munich.
“We’re two sides that want to attack. We won’t change our philosophy.
“We want to attack and so do they, so I think a great game is in the offing,” he was quoted to have said according to a preview ahead of the clash in Germany as obtained from the UCL website on Monday.
Yet Harry Kane offered a sharper, more decisive counterpoint ahead of the clash at the Allianz Arena: “It’ll be who takes their moments. There were a lot of moments out there [in the first leg], and it’s probably going to be the same next week.
“So, us being at home with the crowd behind us, we hope that can push us over the line.”
Even before kickoff, both managers have framed the tie as finely balanced and emotionally charged.
Vincent Kompany said: “[The second leg] can’t come quick enough. We can’t ask for more. We’re against the best side in Europe, because they’re the reigning champions.
“The result is still in the balance. But we need the stadium to have an impact; it’s a legendary place, where this club has achieved so many great things.
