Tuesday's Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League sees the champions of France and Germany begin their battle for a place in the quarterfinals. This will be the 12th competitive meeting between PSG and Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League. The head to head record between these teams is nearly evenly split, with Paris Saint-Germain’s six wins just outshining Bayern’s five but the Parisiens got the better of Bayern Munich last time they met in the knockouts.

After a long decade of investment and project building, PSG would be looking to end their champions league trophy drought this term. They have assembled one of the best trios in modern football with Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr, and Kylian Mbappe forming a deadly partnership up front. All three players are available for the game against Bayern Munich and that is a huge boost for the French side who have been unlucky with injuries recently.

PSG was very close to reaching the quarterfinals of this tournament last season but a lapse in concentration saw them squander their lead to Real Madrid in the second leg. Paris Saint Germain has beaten most of the big teams they have faced at home in their recent European knockout games. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona failed to win in their last visits to the Parc de Princes and the French outfit would be looking to make their home support count.

Bayern Munich is gunning for a seventh title in the UEFA Champions League but it is looking unlikely this year with the team finding it difficult to maintain a long winning streak. They only moved up the table recently in the German Bundesliga and they lead by just a point. Victories over Mainz, Wolfsburg, and Bochum has lightened the atmosphere of the team but they are nowhere near unbeatable this season.

This game should be one of the most lively in this week's clash as both teams would have very good chances to win. PSG attacking trio is fit for this clash which is bad news for the Bavarians and it would be hard for them to contain PSG's attack.

欧洲冠军联赛16强将于周二举行，法国队和德国队将开始争夺四分之一决赛席位。这将是巴黎圣日耳曼和拜仁慕尼黑在欧洲冠军联赛中的第12次交锋。这两支球队的正面交锋纪录几乎平分秋色，巴黎圣日耳曼的6胜仅略高于拜仁的5胜，但巴黎人在上次淘汰赛中战胜了拜仁慕尼黑。

经过长达十年的投资和项目建设，巴黎圣日耳曼希望在本赛季结束他们的欧冠奖杯荒。他们组成了现代足坛最好的三人组之一，梅西、小内马尔和姆巴佩在前场组成了致命的搭档。这三名球员都可以在对阵拜仁慕尼黑的比赛中上场，这对于最近因伤病而倒霉的法国队来说是一个巨大的鼓舞。

上个赛季，巴黎圣日耳曼非常接近进入四分之一决赛，但由于注意力不集中，他们在次回合输给了皇家马德里。巴黎圣日耳曼在最近的欧洲淘汰赛中击败了他们在主场遇到的大多数强队。皇家马德里和巴塞罗那在上次造访王子公园的比赛中都没能赢球，这支法国球队将寻求主场支持。

拜仁慕尼黑正在努力争取欧洲冠军联赛的第七个冠军，但今年看起来不太可能，因为球队发现很难保持长期的连胜。他们最近才在德甲积分榜上上升，仅仅领先一分。对美因茨、沃尔夫斯堡和波鸿的胜利缓解了球队的气氛，但本赛季他们远非不可战胜。

这场比赛应该是本周比赛中最激烈的一场，因为两队都有很大的机会获胜。巴黎圣日耳曼的进攻三人组适合这场比赛，这对巴伐利亚人来说是个坏消息，他们很难遏制巴黎圣日耳曼的进攻。
