♫ ♪ ♬ “Memorieeeeees light the corners of my mind …” ♪ 🎵 🎶 Here’s what happened when the teams met in the Big League phase back in November …

… plus a reminder of how things panned out in that 2020 final …

… but in the interest of balance, here’s the one time PSG have avoided defeat in their last eight meetings with Bayern, a whirlwind victory that led to their putting out the then-holders in the 2021 quarter-finals.

It’s been a slow crescendo – poco a poco – but the Champions League has been building up to this: a summit meeting between the best two teams in the competition. On the face of it, you’d have a good job confidently predicting the outcome of a tie between the outrageously talented holders and a side who have won 11 of their 12 games in the competition this season and simply don’t know when they’re beaten. But then Bayern have won the last five games between the clubs, and seven in the last eight, including the 2020 final, so apologies for clouding your mind. The Paris Match begins at 8pm BST. C’est parti!
