Paris Saint-Germain host Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes for Matchday 4 of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League in what is likely the biggest fixture of this matchday. Both European powerhouses remain undefeated in the tournament so far, meaning one of the two could suffer their first loss tonight.
The squad led by manager Luis Enrique is in spectacular form heading into the contest. They currently top the Champions League standings with three straight wins and are also sitting first in Ligue 1, having suffered only one domestic defeat.
On the other side, the team managed by Vincent Kompany arrives in even better shape than their rivals. Bayern Munich are currently ranked first in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League, maintaining an undefeated record this season.
Furthermore, the German giants recently secured an incredible record in German soccer by becoming the only team to achieve 15 or more consecutive victories across all competitions.

PSG lineup
French midfielder Desire Doue will be unavailable for this commitment due to a muscle injury in his right thigh, which is expected to sideline him for several weeks. Luis Enrique thus loses one of his most dynamic playmakers at a crucial point in the competition.
