Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain both have raucous home-field atmospheres at the Allianz Arena, and Parc des Princes, respectively.
If there is one guy who might understand each stadium best, it is former Bayern Munich and PSG player Kingsley Coman.
“I don’t think the difference is that big. Maybe it’s a bit louder in Munich because there are more people in the stadium. But I’ve never played a semi-final at the Paris stadium – and I know it can get extremely loud there too. As a player, you don’t hear every single voice, mostly just one big, collective one. During the game, you’re so focused on it that you don’t constantly think about it. But at certain moments – when you’re pressing, when you’re tired, when you want to force a goal – that energy from the outside can really give you an extra boost,” Coman told FCBayern.com.
Each team will be looking to draw power from their fans…who do you think will benefit most from playing at home in this tie?
