Much of the narrative surrounding the new Champions League group stage, or 'competition stage', has been about the lack of danger. While that may ultimately be the case, Paris Saint-Germain already looks like they are closing in on the last chance saloon. The cynic will point out that, having won just one in four, they still have a great chance of avoiding elimination.
Heading to Bayern Munich away from home is also not a challenge they will welcome as Luis Enrique's side also have to play Manchester City. Former City captain Vincent Kompany has generally enjoyed his new job at Bayern, but the sticking points are a 4-1 defeat to Barcelona and a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa – will 'Lucho' let himself be inspired by his past side?
BUY LAST MINUTE TICKETS FOR BAYERN-PSG
The two sides have met five times in the Champions League in the last four years, with Bayern looking much more dominant. PSG have failed to score a goal in their last three meetings, with Bayern scoring four times. Before that, PSG did earn a 3-2 win, which put them through to the next round at the time, but it is a drastically different team that Paris leaves behind, without Kylian Mbappe or Neymar Junior, the architects of their last victory.
Perhaps there is something to Luis Enrique's idea that PSG have been unlucky in the Champions League, losing to Atletico Madrid in the last minute, but they struggled against Arsenal, and Bayern will have a tough task. European football is where Kompany must prove himself, and whoever loses will be faced with damning questions afterwards.
Being one of the biggest matches of the league stage during the new format of the competition, it is no surprise that tickets are not easy to obtain, especially if you buy close to the match. That does not mean that it is not possible.
PSG will not be selling tickets for the match at the Allianz Arena, which starts at 9pm CEST in Munich on Tuesday, November 26 and closes one street. Bayern are also sold out, meaning fans are forced to look at third-party alternatives.
