Bayern
Despite losing 5-4 in the first leg against PSG away, I still consider them slight favorites ahead of the second leg, considering they will play in front of their home fans at the Allianz Arena in Munich. When they were down 5-2, I couldn’t believe they’d find a way back, let alone score twice against the reigning Champions League holders, arguably the best team in the world. There’s something special about this squad, about players like Michael Olise and Harry Kane, and about Vincent Kompany as well. Having already secured the Bundesliga title, they now look capable of going all the way in Europe and lifting the trophy for the first time since the 2019-20 season.

PSG
What can we say about their game against Bayern Munich on Tuesday? The performances of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembele, and Desire Doue were absolutely sensational and delivered one of the best semifinals in the history of this competition. Their only regret was probably not being able to contain the German champions in the second half, as things are now really open ahead of the return leg that will take place on Wednesday in Munich. They even held a three-goal advantage for a stretch, one that could have made a huge difference heading into next week.

Atletico Madrid
Despite drawing the first leg in their home match against Arsenal, Atletico Madrid showed once again to be in good form outside their domestic league. It won’t be easy at all to knock the Gunners out of the competition next week in London at the Emirates Stadium, but they’ve got all they need to make it happen. On top of it, Arsenal are still busy trying to win the Premier League and can’t make too many rotations this weekend against Fulham ahead of the return leg that will take place next Tuesday.
