What happens if Bayern Munich and PSG tie in the Champions League?

If Bayern Munich and PSG tie in the second leg of the Round of 16 at the Champions League, the German club would advance to the quarterfinals. After the 1-0 victory at Parc des Princes in Paris during the first leg, any tie gives Bayern a ticket to the last eight.

With a 1-0 advantage in the aggregate score, a tie at home would be enough for Bayern Munich against PSG. 0-0, 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4. It doesn’t matter. A draw in the second leg officially eliminates Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and company.

However, if we talk about a tie in the aggregate score, the story is different. For that to happen, first PSG would need to win by one goal in the second leg. 1-0, 2-1, 3-2, 4-3, 5-4. If the aggregate score ends in a tie, the series go to extra time and, if needed, a penalty shoot-out. Away goals are no longer a tiebreaker in the Champions League.

The draw for the quarterfinals, semifinals and the final of the 2022-2023 Champions League will be held on March 17th. Bayern Munich or PSG could join already qualified teams such as Benfica and Chelsea. In that draw, there will be no country restrictions so any rival and matchup is possible.
