Bayern ready for goal bonanza sequel against PSG after nine-goal classic

29-04-2026 01:35 PM


Ammon News - Bayern Munich will be looking for a repeat of their goal bonanza when they host holders Paris St Germain in their Champions League semi-final ​return leg next week, with Tuesday's 5-4 loss in France breaking ‌the record for most goals in a last-four game of the competition.

Bayern took the lead but then had to dig deep to cut the deficit from 5-2, with two second-half ​goals, in a thrilling nine-goal classic.

"More. Even more," Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said ​when asked what fans should expect in the return leg.

"We are ⁠at home, we will have 75,000 people in that stadium. We don't want ​just noise. We need a mass (of sound) in the stadium. It is not ​a ground that is shy of successful moments with this team," Kompany said.

The Belgian, in his second season at Bayern, has seen his treble-chasing team shatter several goal records so far.

Bayern, ​who have secured the Bundesliga title, have set a new league record with ​their 113 Bundesliga goals and with three matches remaining. The previous best mark that stood for ‌more ⁠than half a century was 101 goals from the 1971/1972 Bayern campaign.

It is also the first time three Bayern players Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Luis Diaz have 10 or more goals and assists in a Champions League campaign.

England captain ​Kane, who was on ​target on Tuesday, ⁠has netted 13 times in the competition while also leading the Bundesliga scorers' list with 33.

Bayern also face VfB Stuttgart ​in the German Cup final on May 23.

"When you concede ​five goals ⁠in the Champions League, you're basically out but we scored four goals in Paris," Kompany said. "We can score goals, we've shown that and we will do it at ⁠home ​too."

"We know now: the second leg is at ​home and we have to win," Kompany said. "We do that often there and with the support of ​our fans, the belief is certainly there."
