Bayern Munich seeks a 12th European Cup/Champions League final appearance, which would move them into second place historically, surpassing Milan's 11 finals and trailing only Real Madrid's 18. However, Bayern has won just one of their last six semi-final ties, with that victory coming in the 2019/20 season. At home, the team has performed strongly this season, winning all six matches and losing only once in the last 29 Champions League home games. Despite this, Bayern has struggled to overturn first-leg deficits in two-legged ties, with their only successful comeback in such scenarios occurring in 1981/82 against CSKA Sofia.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) currently lead in scoring alongside Bayern, with 43 goals this season compared to Bayern's 42, both approaching Barcelona's record of 45 goals set in 1999/2000. PSG has lost their last two two-legged ties against German teams but maintains a positive overall record against them. Head coach Luis Enrique's side aims to become the first defending champions to reach consecutive finals since Real Madrid in 2016/17 and 2017/18. PSG has secured 36 wins in 43 two-legged ties after winning the first leg, including 14 of 17 occasions with a one-goal advantage after the first match.
Arsenal has the chance to set a new club record for most consecutive unbeaten Champions League games but faces Atlético Madrid, who hold a perfect semi-final record against English clubs. The semi-final match-ups feature significant historical and statistical narratives as the two spots in the final in Budapest are decided.
