PSG vs Bayern. Two of Europe’s most in-form teams. One place in the final.
Paris Saint-Germain arrive exactly where they want to be, peaking in the decisive phase of the season. After navigating the playoff round, they’ve powered through the knockouts with dominant wins over Chelsea and Liverpool.
Bayern Munich, meanwhile, come into the semi-final off one of the most dramatic comebacks in recent Bundesliga history, turning a 0–3 deficit into a 4–3 win against Mainz, while edging ever closer to an historical treble.
In this episode of The Fussball Channel, Jan and Markus Fjørtoft break down the biggest themes ahead of the Champions League semi-final:

Bayern Munich are champions again.
A 4–2 win over Stuttgart seals their 35th Bundesliga title but the story goes beyond the result. Vincent Kompany’s side have dominated from start to finish, breaking records, overwhelming opponents, and setting the pace from Matchday 1.
In this episode, Jan and Markus Fjørtoft break down the key moments that defined Bayern’s season, from statement wins to title-deciding performances, and what makes this team different.
We also look at the numbers behind their dominance, the return of their now-famous cockatoo celebration ritual, and what comes next with the Champions League and DFB-Pokal still in play.
Plus, a full Bundesliga round-up:
Dortmund slip again, Leipzig strengthen their top-four push, Leverkusen’s frustrating defeat, and a historic moment for Union Berlin.

Bayern Munich are through to the Champions League semi-finals after a dramatic 4-3 win over Real Madrid. Markus Fjørtoft and Jan Åge Fjørtoft react to one of the most spectacular games of the season.

Bayern Munich continue their relentless goalscoring form with a 5-0 win over St. Pauli, just days after beating Real Madrid in the Champions League. They're now record goalscorers in a Bundesliga season, and still got 5 games to go!
At Union Berlin, Marie-Louise Eta steps in as interim head coach following a difficult run of results. We break down her background, her pathway through the German system, and why her appointment reflects a long-term integration into the men’s game.
We also discuss fan reactions at Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Mönchengladbach, where Nico Schlotterbeck was booed despite extending his contract, and Rocco Reitz faced protests over his move to RB Leipzig. What does this reveal about trust between fans, players, and clubs?
Finally, we examine the battle between Germany and Spain for a fifth Champions League spot, and why the current European ties could have a major impact on the Bundesliga next season.
