Following a breathtaking spectacle, FC Bayern is relying on their phenomenal 100-goal strike force in the return leg of their titanic clash with Paris Saint-Germain.
«We concede five goals, and you’re basically out. But we scored four goals in Paris. We can score goals, we’ve shown that. And we will do that at home too,» said coach Vincent Kompany after the wild and historic 4-5 (2-3) defeat against the defending champions.
The trio of Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Diaz are tasked with delivering on Wednesday evening (9:00 PM/DAZN) at the Allianz Arena. These three attacking stars each found the net against PSG, increasing their season tally to an incredible 100 goals. They also have 55 assists. This is unparalleled in Europe: Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior, and Fede Valverde at Real Madrid have scored 69 goals, while Raphinha, Lamine Yamal, and Ferran Torres at FC Barcelona have 62.
Kane alone has already netted an astonishing 56 goals across all competitions this season, 13 of which are in the Champions League and 33 in the league. Olise has scored 20 goals and provided 29 assists, while Díaz has scored 26 goals and made 20 assists so far.
FC Bayern Banks on the Return Leg: «The Belief is There, 100 Percent»
«You saw that we score a lot of goals. And that’s why we go into the return leg with full confidence and give it our all. Everything is possible for us,» emphasized Jonathan Tah. «The belief is there, 100 percent. But we also need the support of our fans,» added Kompany on Prime Video.
Sporting director Max Eberl raved after the madness in Paris about «great quality on both sides. It’s fantastic that we came back because it significantly improves our starting position. We have already shown that we can beat Paris. The tie is open,» he said, looking ahead to the rematch.
Kompany doesn’t believe the game in Munich will be completely different: «PSG won’t accept doing things differently, and neither will we.» Both teams will play with «intensity at the highest level.»
