Football. ua presents the announcement of the second round match of the group round of the Champions League between Paris Saint-Germain and Bavaria.

PSG and Bayern, leading after the first round in Group B, met each other in the Champions League six times. And with one exception, success in these confrontations accompanied the hosts. It is likely that the general trend will be followed and this time.

PSG - Bavaria Wednesday, September 27, 21:45. Paris, Parc des Princes. Arbitrator - Antonio Mateu Laos (Spain). Live broadcast on the channel Football 2 At all times, Bayern had the status of a favorite in duels with ambitious, but not always having a solid base under their ambitions, Parisians. However, now the times have changed significantly. With an unlimited budget and the same unlimited appetite with which it struggles with great difficulty to cope with coping with UEFA, Paris Saint-Germain can afford to make purchases like the one that shook all the foundations of the transfer market - the acquisition of Neimar for 222 million euros, and at the same time plan for the next season is a deal that is just below the two hundred million mark - the purchase of a loan leased in Monaco Mabppe. If it were not for the financial Fair Play, whose rules are at least visibly tried to be observed by Parisians who do not want to risk a place in European competition, then the child prodigy from the French national team would already be a full-time player of PSG.

However, the abundance of stars is not only not a panacea for unsuccessful results, which is evidenced by a draw with Montpellier in the last round of the French championship (in which Neimar, however, did not participate), but also additional problems in the team when they begin to come into contact with the ambitions of the players , such as the conflict that arose between a Brazilian and a long-time leader of the attacks of the Parisians Cavani because of the right to execute a penalty.

You will not be surprised by such things in Bavaria, Munich had enough of such incidents, not for nothing that they were nicknamed "FC Hollywood". Now it began to occur less often, but the stars did not become less. Unlike PSG, Bayern was not so confidently started in the season-2017/2018. If the draw with Montpellier was the only misfire of the Parisians, then the Bavarians, also dispersed by the world in the last round of the national championship - with Wolfsburg, managed to lose to Hoffenheim.

In the Champions League, both those and others all are still unclouded (although it's ridiculous to make far-reaching conclusions after the first round). PSG won its biggest away victory in the Champions League over Celtic - 5: 0, and Bayern scored three unanswered goals to Anderlecht.

As for the staffing situation, here the advantage of the hosts. The only one who does not appear on the field is Pastor, who has not yet fully completed the rehabilitation process after the injury, Neimar, who missed the last match of League 1, trains with the team on general grounds, and the final readiness for the match will be assessed by Di Maria on the day of the match.

In Bavaria, Bernat and Neuer are on the hospital (will not appear in the ranks until January after the next fracture), and Alabe and Alcantara, whose condition is in question, joined Robben injured ankle. The only positive news for Bavaria is that he served a disqualification and again can play Vidal.

Words of Unai Emery, coach of PSG:.

"Meeting with Bavaria - this is exactly what we need. To show your true level, you have to fight with great teams, with a great history, teams that can win any tournament. When I was still working in Spain, I was not without envy looking at the best teams in Europe, staffed by the best players - Real Madrid, Barcelona, ??Bavaria, Manchester United and Juventus. Now PSG is approaching these standards. Very soon, no one will be surprised if we win the Champions League ".

Carlo Ancelotti, coach of Bavaria:.

"We did not start the season very well, and we need to change something. However, this match will be very important and prestigious for us, but in no way decisive. PSG players are so high that newcomers do not need a lot of time to adapt. Therefore, I consider Parisians to be real contenders for winning the Champions League this season ".
