Despite the disappointment of conceding a late equalizer in the Bundesliga, Bayern’s focus is already shifting firmly towards Wednesday’s high-stakes encounter with Paris Saint-Germain.

Leon Goretzka made it clear that the anticipation within the squad is building - and that the occasion is already sending chills through the players.

“I think you could tell, I got goosebumps again, the boys are really fired up for the game on Wednesday against Paris. I think the stadium will be on fire, I’m really looking forward to the match. We want to reach the final!”

The German international’s words underline Bayern’s hunger to succeed on the European stage. With the Champions League now taking center stage, the Allianz Arena is expected to provide a fierce atmosphere as the Bavarians aim to take a decisive step toward the final.

For Goretzka and his teammates, the message is clear: whatever happened domestically is now secondary. All eyes are on Paris - and on the opportunity to fight for a place in the biggest match in club football.
