Bayern Munich meets PSG and tests the mettle of Harry Kane and his teammates

NGUYỄN ĐĂNG |

The away trip to the home stadium of defending champion Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is a heavy test for Bayern Munich's ambitions in the Champions League.

Bayern Munich's impressive form

Bayern have won 15 of their 15 games in all competitions so far this season, setting a new record for the best start to a season in the European top flight this year.

The incredible start makes Bayern dream of glory in the UEFA Champions League.

But facing the European champions at home will help the Bavarian giants better understand their position.

Since the beginning of the tournament, Bayern Munich have only been behind with... 5 minutes in the 4-1 win over Cologne in the German Cup. Vincent Kompany's side have won all nine Bundesliga games this season, beating second to fifth-placed sides in the domestic Bundesliga.

In the UEFA Champions League, Bayern also won 3/3 matches played, including a 3-1 victory over the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup champion Chelsea.

Bayern Munich's brilliant form has been largely contributed by striker Harry Kane, who has scored 22 goals in 15 matches since the start of the season. The impact of the English striker is not only in goals, because he also took on the role of creating play when midfielder Jamal Musiala was absent for a long time due to injury.

Kompany started for Kane in the No. 10 position and encouraged him to drop deep, sometimes to the defensive midfield position.

Even rotating the squad cannot stop Bayern from continuing to advance. In the match against Bayer Leverkusen last weekend, Kompany had Kane, wingers Luis Diaz and Michael Olise, along with centre-back Dayot Upamecano on the bench. However, Bayern Munich still won 3-0.

"We have won 15 games, that's good. But it still has to continue - not enough. I promise Bayern will do everything to bring the fans a successful season, Kompany said.

PSG vs Bayern Munich head-to-head record

Paris have lost all four of their most recent Champions League games against Bayern, their longest losing streak against a specific opponent in the competition.

However, it is not only recent encounters that have worried the French team. Bayern have won eight of their 14 meetings in the Champions League. This achievement is more than any other team has ever achieved against the Paris team.

If Manuel Neuer and his teammates leave the Prince's Park with three points again in the upcoming match, they will become the first and only team to win three consecutive away matches against PSG in the Champions League.

The Bavarians have not even conceded a goal in their last two away games, with a 1-0 win in April 2021 and February 2023.

In fact, PSG have not scored any goals in their last four matches against Bayern in the Champions League. This is their longest streak without scoring against an opponent in this tournament. The French champions had 40 shots on target in those four matches, with 14 on target, but none of them penetrated Bayern's defense.

However, it should be noted that PSG are on a six-match winning streak in the Champions League, after lifting the championship trophy for the first time last season. PSG have also won 3/3 in the Champions League this season, including a big 7-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.

In addition, in the most recent meeting at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, PSG beat Bayern Munich 2-0 thanks to goals from Doue and Dembele.

The PSG vs Bayern Munich match will take place at 3:00 a.m. on November 5.
