The second Champions League heavyweight collision of the week arrives at the Allianz Arena in Munich on Wednesday, as two more contenders for Paris Saint-Germain’s crown lock horns.
PSG have proven over the past week, with victories over Manchester City and Barcelona, that they aren’t going away, and Bayern Munich and Arsenal will expect that they’ll have to bypass the back-to-back champions to achieve their ultimate goal this season.
The two teams were semifinalists last time out, having met in the quarterfinals in 2023–24. Bayern progressed as 3–2 aggregate winners on that occasion, but Arsenal got revenge when they met in last season’s league phase, winning 3–1 at Emirates Stadium.
While Bayern are six-time European champions, Arsenal have never before gotten their hands on the trophy. They came ever so close in Budapest, and their trajectory since returning to the competition under Mikel Arteta suggests that this will be their year.
The Gunners’ imperious league phase record has continued at the start of 2026–27, with wins over Napoli and Lille proving simple enough. Bayern, meanwhile, were pegged back by Viking last week after thumping their Norwegian rivals Bodø/Glimt on Matchday 1.
