Bayern Munich host Paris Saint-Germain tonight in a battle between two sides flying high domestically, but struggling to adjust to the new Champions League format. After four games, Bayern have lost twice — including a 1-4 defeat by Barcelona, led by their former boss Hansi Flick — and sit 17th, which would leave them unseeded for the knockout phase play-off.

PSG’s situation is even worse, with the French champions in 25th — one spot outside the knockout places entirely. Bayern’s struggles are a far cry from their exploits in the old group stage, where the six-time champions signed off with a record 40-match unbeaten run, featuring 36 wins and four draws. Their last loss in the group phase was in 2017 — a 0-3 defeat to PSG.
