Bayern Munich will bring with them a 1-0 lead back to Germany this Wednesday evening with the Bundesliga champions set to play hosts to Paris Saint-Germain at the Allianz Arena just a few days on from the brutal injury news to Neymar.
The Brazilian superstar will miss the remainder of the season and need ankle surgery, and all attention now falls on the shoulders of the sensational partnership between Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi. The two continue to carry this PSG team with Mbappe now having 30 goals in 30 games this season, just as he has eight assists too, including three in the Champions League. Messi has scored 18 times this campaign and registered 16 assists in 29 games too, with four assists and four goals in Europe.
In the first leg between these two, former PSG man, Kingsley Coman, scored in the second half to give Bayern a 1-0 lead - this was his second goal against his former side after netting a header in the final a few years back. Benjamin Pavard was also sent off in the 92nd minute that day and misses this game as a result.
Bayern are currently in record-breaking form in the Champions League without the services of Robert Lewandowski, as they've won all seven games so far, scored 18 goals and let in just two - no side in history comes close to this sensational run.
Mbappe 2+ shots on target in 90mins is bosted from 5/4 to 7/4 in this game - he has had 12 shots on target over his last 4 games in all competitions and continues to be one of Europe's top marksmen with 30 goals in 30 games in what is turning out to be his best goalscoring season so far.
Over the last three Ligue 1 games, Mbappe and Messi have both scored a goal each in the game and Lionel Messi to score from outside the area in 90 minutes is at 14/1 - Messi has scored 50% of his Champions League goals this season from outside the area. At the same time, Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi both to score in 90 minutes is priced at 9/1 from 6/1. 2+ shots on target each team in each half in 90 minutes is boosted to 7/2.
