The current winner of the Champions League, PSG, welcomes Bayern Munich tonight in the first semi-final match. PSG is playing great this season, and the trophy of the champion of France is within reach, so all the power of the Parisians will be focused on this double match, and especially on the first match tonight, in order to create the best possible stock before the rematch. PSG has hosted the Bavarians eight times so far and won five and lost three. They played the most important match in the year of corona, more precisely in 2020. In the final, when Bayern celebrated with a minimal score in front of empty stands. PSG is particularly strong at home, but Bayern defeated them in the group stage this year with 2:1 at the beginning of November last year, and inflicted their first defeat of the season, followed by three more. The desire of the Parisians is certainly to defend the European trophy, but the machinery from Munich stands in the way. What about Bayern. The team practically won the Bundesliga, the players won the Cup final, the Super Cup at the beginning of the season, and they reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. They have one trophy, the Bundesliga "salatara" is within reach, they are favorites against Stuttgart in the cup, so this will be a real test of whether they can reach four trophies this season and thus remain written in golden letters in the history of the club. So far this season, Bayern has played a total of 50 games, of which they have recorded four draws, only two defeats, and even 45 victories. They are currently on a nine-match winning streak in all competitions. The team that lost 3:0 at halftime in Mainz on the weekend, and then scored four goals in half an hour and registered the victory. Vincent Kompany has created a passionate team that is the favorite to advance to the finals, but all eyes will be on tonight's duel, in which we hope that goals will be scored in all directions. As for the composition, they could look like this.
PSG, 4-3-3: Safonov – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Paco, Mendes – Zaire-Emery, Neves, Ruiz – Due, Dembele, Kvarackelia.
Bayern Munich, 4-2-3-1: Neuer - Leimer, Tah, Upamecano, Stanisic - Pavlovic, Kimich - Diaz, Musiala, Olise - Kane.

In the second semi-final match scheduled for tomorrow, Atletico Madrid and Arsenal meet. Atlético secured participation in the next season's Champions League through the championship, but they succumbed in the cup final last week, and remained without a trophy, so this doubleheader will certainly be the most important matches of the season, and an opportunity to reach the final, and maybe win the title of European champion. Atlético have not been playing great lately, and have only won two of their last nine matches in all competitions. The team plays a much different football than before, and now they are much more efficient, but they also concede a lot of goals. Simeon's team will have to do much better if they want to reach the final. The 'Tobzdije' have turned what seemed like a dream season, with many trophies, into a nightmare in the last few weeks. Although they were at the top of the Premier League throughout the championship, and had a good margin compared to their followers, the current situation is that they have three points more than Manchester United, but one match more. If the "citizens" win, due to a better inter-Saturday score, they will be first, in the four rounds until the end of the championship. They lost the final of the League Cup to Manchester City, they were kicked out by Southampton in the FA Cup, so basically, apart from the big fight in the Premier League, where they still depend on their rivals, they only have the Champions League left, winning which they would probably end their season. But in order for that to happen, even though they are the favorites to go to the final, they have to survive the hell of Madrid, and be better in the second leg. These two teams have met a total of five times so far. The friendly match in 2009 ended with a 2:1 victory for the English, then in 2018 they played in the semi-finals of the Europa League, when it was 1:1 in London and 1:0 for Atletico in Madrid. In the same year, they played a friendly match in which Atlético won 2:1, after a penalty, and this season, in the league part of the Champions League, Arsenal outclassed Atlético with 4:0.
Possible lineups are, Atletico Madrid, 4-4-2: Oblak - Molina, Pubil, Le Norman, Rugeri - Simeone, Llorente, Koke, Lukman - Griezmann, Alvarez.
Arsenal, 4-3-3: Raja - Hinkapie, Gabriel, Saliba, White - Rice, Zubimendi, Odegard - Eze, Gyokeres, Madueke.
