Semi-final showdown\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Bayern<\/p>\n

\n \u00a9TM\/IMAGO\n <\/p>\n

The first leg of the Champions League<\/a> semi-final between PSG<\/a> and Bayern Munich<\/a> will go down in history as one of the greatest games in the competition\u2019s illustrious history. The engrossing clash had absolutely everything you\u2019d want from a game of football and it was impossible to take your eyes off it. Several of the best players in the world were on a display in a game that was defined by free-flowing, attacking football.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Both sides played the game in the right way and PSG travelled to Munich for the second leg with a one-goal advantage after their 5-4 triumph at the Parc des Princes. Luis Enrqiue<\/a> boats an incredible record in the competition and they\u2019ll be determined to reclaim their crown but Bayern pose fearsome opposition. Vincent Kompany\u2019s<\/a> squad is littered with world-class players and they\u2019ve passed every challenge they\u2019ve faced this season. Ahead of the game, we\u2019ve produced a combined XI from the current squads based on the most appearances in the Champions League for their clubs.<\/p>\n

\nBayern Munich vs PSG combined XI<\/p>\n

The combined XI is dominated by Bayern Munich with seven representatives, compared to PSG\u2019s four and the total appearances between them stands at 792. Unsurprisingly, Manuel Neuer<\/a> has played the most games with the legendary German goalkeeper turning out for 138 games for Bayern in the Champions League. Equally, Marquinhos\u2019<\/a> longevity at PSG is remarkable with the Brazilian representing them 120 times in the most prestigious club competition. PSG have suffered a major blow ahead of the second leg with Achraf Hakimi<\/a> – the best right-back in the world – missing out through injury.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/The Moroccan captain is joined by Alphonso Davies<\/a> at full-back with both playing 56 games in the competition for their current clubs. Along with Neuer and Marquinhos<\/a>, Joshua Kimmich<\/a> is the only other player to hit a century of Champions League appearances for their current club. Harry Kane<\/a>, Bradley Barcola<\/a> and Serge Gnabry<\/a> but only the England captain is expected to start tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Semi-final showdown\u00a0 \u00a9TM\/IMAGO The first leg of the Champions League semi-final between PSG and Bayern Munich will go…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":569642,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[195019,195021,1766,27268,939,59,29745,29263,32517,195018,195020,237,195022,101,397,56,54,55,67579,92661],"class_list":["post-569641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-achraf-hakimi","tag-alphonso-davies","tag-bayern-munich","tag-bradley-barcola","tag-bundesliga","tag-gb","tag-harry-kane","tag-ligue-1","tag-luis-enrique","tag-manuel-neuer","tag-marquinhos","tag-paris-saint-germain","tag-serge-gnabry","tag-sports","tag-uefa-champions-league","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-vincent-kompany","tag-vitinha"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569641","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=569641"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569641\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/569642"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=569641"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=569641"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=569641"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
