The winner will face Man.
City or Dortmund in the semi-finals.
“Very interesting, a remake of the final of last August, continues the German international, in English this time.
We are very happy to find Paris again.
Kingsley Coman and our French teammates have received many phone calls in the last 20 minutes… We are very confident but I am happy to be back in Paris. ”

"We are the best team in Europe at the moment"
Oliver kahn
Here again, we are at the frontiers of provocation.
It must be said that the players of Hansi Flick have reason to be confident, they who turn to almost three goals per game over the entire season, 24 in eight matches of "Champions", and who no longer have experienced defeat in C1 since… March 2019 (18 wins, 1 draw).
If they experienced some slack here and there, the European champions arrive in form before Paris.

"He is a strong opponent, but we have shown that we know how to play football," slips the Bavarian coach, Flick, summarizing the state of mind that we feel dawning in all the statements from Germany.
"The draw has reserved a very big opponent for us," confirms Oliver Kahn, future club boss, who is particularly wary of "Neymar or Mbappé who can decide a match at any time.
Along with Mauricio Pochettino, they also have a coach who attaches great importance to defensive stability.
But we have shown that we are the best team in Europe at the moment, we will have to fight! ”
Bayern are sure of their strengths and Paris will have to earn their qualification.
Coman and "Choupo" against their former club
For Kingley Coman, former resident of the Parisian training center and sole scorer in the final last August, “it's a good draw for all football fans.
This is the poster for last year's final, it will necessarily be a very big game, it's a very good team opposite.
Their attack is their main strength.
Afterwards, they have a very good team.
(…) These are two teams that can go to the end.
It will be a very good match, ”promises the titi impatiently.
And he is not the only one in this case.
Parisian for the past two seasons, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting is licking his chops.
"That's a beautiful story.
There is only football to write stories like this, smiles the hero of the quarter-final won against Atalanta in Lisbon (2-1).
Personally, I'm happy to see all my friends again, but if I had had to choose, I would have preferred to play against them a little later.
But it's football.
As we saw in the last final, it's a great team, it will be very hard and they will be very motivated.
But we too ... And me too.
It will be something, that's clear (smile). ”
See you in less than three weeks.
