Both PSG and Bayern Munich secured identical 3-0 win in their respective semi-final match, against RB Leipzig and Lyon. In the quarter-final, Bayern Munich had thrashed Barcelona 8-2 to progress in the competition.

"I hope that both teams don't hold back too much, don't show each other too much respect and play just as refreshingly and with a joie de vivre like they have done up to now. Then we can expect a wonderful final," Beckenbauer added.
