"Will Be Food for Luis Diaz Today" - PSG Fans Worried by Star's Inclusion in XI to Face Bayern Munich in UCL S/F Clash
Matvey Safonov is favored in goal, and Warren Zaïre-Emery is set to shift to right back after Achraf Hakimi’s hamstring injury.
On Wednesday, Paris Saint-Germain faces Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena for the Champions League semi-final second leg, notably without full-back Achraf Hakimi following his hamstring injury from last week's 5-4 first-leg victory.
Manager Luis Enrique faces a tactical adjustment, with Warren Zaire-Emery expected to deputize as right-back in Hakimi's absence, allowing Fabian Ruiz to return to the midfield engine room for the decisive clash in Bavaria.
Goalkeeper Matvey Safonov will retain his starting position against Bayern's formidable attack, which features Harry Kane with 54 goals this season, while PSG leads the aggregate and needs only a draw to advance.
Beyond Hakimi's absence, French goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier remains unavailable due to a thigh injury sustained in training, though the squad aims to reach back-to-back Champions League finals despite mounting injury concerns.
Renewing duels with opponents such as Michael Olise, Nuno Mendes and teammates must navigate the Allianz Arena's hostile atmosphere to protect their slim lead and secure a final spot.
