- PSG is, with Man.
City, one of the only two clubs present in the quarter-finals of the C1 this year to have never lifted the trophy.
Zero is also the number of spectators who will be seated at the Allianz Arena and the Parc des Princes during this upcoming double confrontation ...
2
- Two former Parisians will be in the Bavarian ranks during this upcoming duel in the quarterfinals: Kingsley Coman, executioner of his training club last August, in the final, and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who still wore the Parisian colors during the said final.
Tanguy Kouassi also swapped the PSG tunic for that of Bayern last summer, but he is not on the list for the European Cup.
On the Paris side, Juan Bernat played for Bayern.
Out since September with a knee injury, the Spanish side is not in the Parisian list in C1.
3
- Paris is trying this season to reproduce what three clubs have done so far in the most prestigious European competition: lifting the trophy a year after losing in the final.
Milan (1994, 1995), Bayern (2012, 2013) and Liverpool (2018, 2019) are the only teams to have done so so far.
It should be noted that six clubs won the cup two years after a lost final: Real (1964, 1966), Ajax (1969, 1971), Juventus (1983, 1985), Marseille (1991, 1993), Bayern (1999, 2001) , Milan (2005, 2007).
4 - @FCBayernEN have won each of their four knockout ties against French sides in the @ChampionsLeague (2009/10 semi-finals vs Lyon, 2011/12 quarter-finals vs Marseille, 2019/20 semi-final vs Lyon, 2019/20 final vs PSG).

- Bayern Munich have always eliminated their French opponents in knockout matches in the Champions League, namely Lyon (half in 2010 and 2020), Marseille (quarterfinals, 2012) and Paris (final, 2020).
5
- Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain have faced each other nine times in an official match, still in the Champions League, two victories for George Weah and company in 1994 (2-0, 1-0) in the last final, won 1-0 by Kingsley Coman and his little comrades, in Lisbon.
In total, it is PSG which leads: five wins to four.
A trompe l'oeil assessment since the Parisians have won only one of the last four matches between the two teams.
It was September 27, 2017, at the Parc des Princes (3-0).
6
- With six successes, Bayern arrives on the podium of the most successful clubs in the history of C1, behind Real (13) and AC Milan (7).
7
- Bayern, a bad memory for Mauricio Pochettino.
A nightmare in fact.
A few weeks after losing in the C1 final on October 1, 2019, “his” Spurs challenged the Bavarian club in the group stage in London.
And the Germans had inflicted a correction on the English: victory 7-2, with a quadruple from Serge Gnabry, a goal signed Joshua Kimmich and a double for Robert Lewandowski.
19 - @FCBayernEN have reached the @ChampionsLeague quarter-finals for the 19th time, setting up a new record in the competition (Barcelona: 18).

19
- By dismissing Lazio in the 8th, Bayern rose to the quarter-finals of C1 for the 19th time.
It is quite simply a record in the history of the competition, Barça coming in second in this category (18).
PSG have only reached this level seven times.
19 is also Bayern's unbeaten streak on the European stage.
We have to go back to the 8th comeback of the 2018-19 season against Liverpool (1-3 on March 13, 2019 at the Allianz Arena) to find traces of a Munich loss in C1.
Since ?
18 wins (including 11 in 11 matches in 2019-20) for a draw.
24
- With 24 goals scored, Bayern are the best attack in the Champions League this season.
Barcelona, Juventus and PSG come in second with 18 goals.
24 goals is three goals per game on average stacked up.
In the German league, Hansi Flick's men are hardly doing less well: 74 goals in 25 matches, or 2.96 on average (the ranking here).
A war machine ...
73
- with 73 goals, Robert Lewandowski is the third top scorer in the history of C1, only ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo (135) and Lionel Messi (120).
This season, the Polish striker of Bayern has scored five goals, one less than Kylian Mbappé and Neymar (6 each).
