´This PSG team is built to attack´ – Zaire-Emery expects more goals against Bayern

Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery expects his side to score more goals against Bayern Munich as they are a team “built to attack”.

Luis Enrique’s side won a thrilling first leg 5-4 at the Parc des Princes, though they did fail to maintain a three-goal lead against the Bundesliga champions.

In Champions League history, only one team has ever scored five goals in a knockout match and then been eliminated in that tie, which was Manchester City against Monaco in the last 16 in 2016-17 (5-3 first leg, 1-3 second leg, out on away goals rule).

However, PSG have struggled against their German counterparts in the past; they have lost more away games against Bayern (five) than against any other opponent in the European Cup/Champions League.

Of the teams they have faced more than once away from home across the two competitions, only against Man City (100% – 3/3) and Real Madrid (75% – 3/4) do they have a higher loss percentage than at Bayern (71% – 5/7).

PSG are the top scorers in the competition this term, with 43 goals, and Zaire-Emery expects more goals from the Ligue 1 side in the second leg.

“We’re ready and will try to reach the final,” said the youngster.

“I think we’ll have to do the same as in the first leg. We defended well, but still conceded four goals.

“We’ll need to defend higher up in their half. We’ll have to double up or even triple up on them, and everyone will need to put in the effort together.

“We’ll try to impose our game plan, press like we do in every match, and win back as many balls as possible. This team is built to attack, and that’s what we’ll try to do.

“We’re expecting the same kind of match… maybe even tougher.”

The victor will take on Arsenal in the final on May 30, after Mikel Arteta’s team overcame Atletico Madrid.
