One of the two semifinals of the UEFA Champions League will see Bayern Munich take on Paris Saint-Germain. Historically, the advantage is with the Germans.

Bayern Munich secured their spot in the UEFA Champions League semifinals by defeating Real Madrid 4-3 on Wednesday night, following their first-leg victory (2-1) at the Bernabéu.

The German giants will face Paris Saint-Germain, who triumphed over Liverpool (2-0) at Anfield, just a week after a win at the Parc des Princes (2-0).

A quick look at the recent clashes between these two sides highlights Bayern’s dominance. In fact, PSG have lost their last five meetings against Bayern Munich—this is their longest losing streak against any single club in the competition.

The German club has also beaten PSG more times than any other side in the Champions League: 9 times. This history sets the stage for a fiercely contested tie, with the Parisians needing to pull out all the stops if they want to defend their title.
