Bayern head into the second leg against PSG trailing 5–4 after one of the most open and high-quality games of the season.
Jan and Markus focus on the key question facing Vincent Kompany: does Bayern stay true to their identity, or do they need more control to manage the game?
The first leg showed both sides of Bayern’s approach. They were able to match PSG going forward, but conceding five goals raises a valid concern about the balance in the team.
PSG, meanwhile, demonstrated why they have been currently setting the standard, combining individual quality with collective structure and efficiency in transition.
With the Allianz Arena as the backdrop, Bayern will back themselves. But the discussion is what this will come down to, and if this tie will be decided by control and defensive detail, or goals and attacking quality.
Markus Fjørtoft and Jan Åge Fjørtoft break down the tactical and psychological battle heading into the second leg.
