Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has sent a clear message of intent ahead of the high-stakes UEFA Champions League semifinal second leg against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. Speaking in the pre-match press conference, the Spanish coach declared that PSG will not sit back to protect their slim 5-4 aggregate lead from the first leg.
“We are NOT looking to defend the result of the first leg, because we’re aiming to win the match. That’s our goal,” Luis Enrique stated confidently. He also praised the expected electric atmosphere at the Allianz Arena, saying, “Today, all the supporters won’t stop singing and the players won’t stop playing.”
High-Octane Semi-Final Context
The first leg in Paris produced a thrilling 5-4 victory for PSG — the highest-scoring Champions League semifinal match in history. Bayern Munich’s lethal front trio of Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Díaz will be desperate to overturn the deficit in front of their home fans, while PSG’s attacking stars Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Désiré Doué pose a constant counter-attacking threat.
PSG’s Ambitious Approach
Instead of parking the bus, Luis Enrique’s side is targeting a positive result in Munich. This aggressive mindset reflects PSG’s confidence after an impressive first-leg performance and their strong form throughout the 2025/26 campaign. A victory or a high-scoring draw would send the French champions into the final.
Bayern, under Vincent Kompany, are expected to throw everything forward, making this second leg one of the most exciting European nights of the season. With both teams boasting explosive attacking trios, another goal-fest is highly anticipated.
