Many of my colleagues in the Bundesliga wished us all the best. So, I think Germany is rooting for us. For me, it’s a completely even match, where small details will decide the outcome: decisions, maybe by the referee, decisions by players on the pitch. Both teams are top-class offensively. Both play a super-intense pressing game. Both defend very, very well.

The other semifinal [Arsenal vs Atlético] will perhaps be more about defensive structure. It will be incredibly exciting to see what happens, because two evenly matched teams, Paris and Bayern, are facing each other.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement#_R_33iudcaanpfiv65bH1_ { display: none; } @media screen and (max-width: 767.95px) { #_R_33iudcaanpfiv65bH1_ { display: flex; } iframe { max-width: 100vw; } }Like many fans, Eberl is disappointed that Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany will not be leading the squad vs. PSG due…
