After a thrilling 5-4 encounter in Paris last week, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain return for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal today.

Though defending champions PSG hold a narrow edge over the Bavarians, they're not expecting a warm welcome from the passionate Bayern fans at the Allianz Arena. Bayern have already won the 2025-26 Bundesliga title, and PSG are at the top of their league table. Both teams like to play aggressive, attacking football, and that should make for yet another rousing match. Here's how to catch today's game, with or without a sports streaming service.
