After its big victory against Toulouse (3-0), Paris Saint-Germain will want to get back on the path to success in the Champions League, this Tuesday, November 26, during a trip to Munich.
A decisive meeting for the two teams, who have struggled to gain points in the standings since the start of the European campaign. Bayern Munich, being 17th with 6 points, PSG in 25th place with 4 points. The Romanian Istvan Kovacs has been appointed to lead this meeting which will take place at the Allianz Arena, this Tuesday, November 26.
A recognized referee
The Parisians' last match refereed by Kovacs should bring back good memories for PSG supporters since he was on the whistle in Montjuïc, when the capital's players obtained their ticket for the last four of the 2023/2024 Champions League after having dominated FC Barcelona (4-1).
While the Parisian club absolutely had to win after a defeat in the first leg, an incident completely changed the nature of the match.
The expulsion of Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo (29th), after catching Bradley Barcola, launched at full speed on the left side, just in front of the surface, allowed the Parisians to take the advantage.
The Romanian referee has already officiated two great European matches since the start of the season: Inter Milan-Arsenal and Real Madrid-Dortmund. He also refereed two matches during Euro 2024.
