Bayern Munich returns to UEFA Women’s Champions League action with a road trip to France to face off against Paris Saint-Germain.
Bayern is currently 1-2-0 after three matchdays in what has been a tough and unforgiving UWCL slate. The Bavarians drew 2-2 against Manchester City as well as Real Madrid and it is now another marquee opponent in PSG, currently 2nd place in Ligue 1.
Head coach José Barcala rotated liberally at the weekend in a 3-1 win over Bundesliga top-four challenger Werder Bremen, and
it will have to come in handy as rotational wingers Kassandra Potsi (who started against Werder) and Sophie Proost will both be unavailable, along with Canadian WNT defender Vanessa Gilles and long-term absentee Lena Oberdorf. However, prolific winger Klara Bühl should see her return after a few matches’ rest due to workload management.
Bayern defeated PSG 3-1 last November in the previous meeting between the sides, also during the UWCL league phase.
“I remember our demanding game here at the Parc des Princes last season,” Barcala stated as he previewed today’s matchup (via FCBayern.com). “After going behind, we showed one of our best games and came back to win. The memories of that are very positive.
“We’ll face a completely different game tomorrow. Paris are a very mature and strong team, who their coach has given a clear identity. We need a top performance and to find the right solutions to cause them problems. We’re confident but know how tough it’ll be.”
Prediction: Bayern wins 3-1 again. Come on, Bayern, we need this!
It’s Bayern time.
