Can Bayern Munich bounce back and progress to the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League?
The answer to this question will be revealed on Tuesday at Parc des Princes in Paris at 9pm.
Reigning UEFA champions, Bayern Munich visit the French capital to face Paris Saint-Germain in the return leg of the competition’s quarter-finals.
The German champions will be hoping to overturn the 3-2 scoreline from the first leg.
Bayern need to beat PSG 2-0 to go through to the semi-finals – but PSG are no pushovers.
Bayern captain Manuel Neuer said they need to stay calm but have fire in their hearts.
“We want to approach the game the right way with motivation and good attitude,” he said.
He said they needed stability against such quick players, Neuer told Bundesliga.com.
“We’ll also need to keep playing our attacking football and put them under pressure. They have problems at the back.”
There are reports that coach Hansi Flick is being scouted by German Football Association as their next national team coach.
Current coach Joachim Low is set to leave this post after 15 years in charge.
“I think Hansi Flick is the right coach for us,” said Neuer.
“You have seen how successful we have been. We will be happy if it continues like this.”
Meanwhile in London, Chelsea are set to complete the job when they welcome FC Porto at Stamford Bridge at 9pm.
Last week the Blues came back with a 2-0 win in Portugal.
