"Vincent Kompany has urged Bayern Munich to play a "perfect game" when they meet Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday. PSG and Bayern sit first and second in the table after the first three matches with perfect records as they go into their heavyweight clash. The pair are also amongst the favourites to win the tournament, with PSG given a 14% chance of retaining their title by the Opta supercomputer, with only Arsenal (22%) having a higher likelihood."
"But, Kompany's side also have another perfect record on the line, having won their first 15 matches to start the season, the most-ever by a team in Europe's big five leagues. History is on Bayern's side, as they have won each of their last four matches against PSG, including two on the road, and dealt the Parisiens their most Champions League defeats (W8 L6)."
""I think you have to believe you can do it and then need a perfect game," Kompany said. "It's a classic answer. They are the winners of last season's Champions League and favourites this season. But we still have to believe in our chances. "Whoever wins [on Tuesday] will take a big step to get under the top eight [and qualify for the knockout stage].""
Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain meet in a Champions League group fixture with both teams unbeaten after three matches. Opta gives PSG a 14% chance to retain the title and Bayern an 11% chance. Bayern have won their first 15 matches of the season, a record in Europe's big five leagues, and have beaten PSG in each of their last four meetings. Vincent Kompany demands belief and a "perfect game," emphasizing collective focus. Luis Enrique confirms Ousmane Dembélé is available, while Kompany warns against concentrating on a single player given PSG's team strength.
