Paris Saint-Germain, the title holder, visits Bayern Munich on Wednesday evening in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, in an attempt to compensate for the first-leg loss with a score of 5-4 and reach the final match.

The first leg witnessed an outstanding performance from both teams, with 9 goals scored, while the second-leg match remains open to all possibilities, given the strong level of the two teams this season, as they are considered among the strongest in the European continent.

The chances of each team depend on deciding several individual confrontations in the strongest second-leg clashes of the semi-final, and below are the most prominent ones:

Alphonso Davies vs Ousmane Dembélé

Ousmane Dembélé delivered a strong performance in the first-leg match, playing in all attacking positions. The task of limiting his danger will fall on the shoulders of the Canadian full-back Alphonso Davies, who is distinguished by his speed. The winner in this confrontation will give his team a clear advantage.

Konrad Laimer vs Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

The Georgian winger is considered one of the attacking keys for Paris Saint-Germain. In the first-leg match, he clearly outperformed Josip Stanišić, which may prompt the Belgian coach Vincent Kompany to use the winning card of Konrad Laimer to limit his danger.

Nuno Mendes and Michael Olise

Michael Olise outperformed the Portuguese left-back Nuno Mendes in the first-leg match. The second-leg battle will be decisive for both sides, as the French star seeks to bring his team back into the match atmosphere and lead it towards qualification, while the Portuguese full-back aspires to limit the danger of one of Bayern Munich's most prominent players.

Willian Pacho vs Harry Kane

The English striker Harry Kane dreams of leading Bayern Munich to the Champions League final and winning the title. He is considered the most prominent player capable of scoring goals, which complicates the task of the Paris Saint-Germain central defensive duo, Willian Pacho and Marquinhos, who are required to make a great effort to stop the English goalscorer.

Warren Zaïre-Emery and Luis Díaz

Paris Saint-Germain received a strong blow in the first-leg match with the injury of its Moroccan star Achraf Hakimi and his absence from the second-leg match. Warren Zaïre-Emery will face a difficult task to compensate for the absence of the Moroccan star and face one of the dangerous weapons of Bayern Munich, the Colombian Luis Díaz, who was one of the stars of the first-leg match.
