Vincent Kompany could etch his name in the history books of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) if he guides Bayern Munich to the final at the expense of Paris Saint-Germain at the Allianz Arena (9pm kick-off).
Kompany, in only his second season at Bayern, has his work cut out. After missing the first leg at the Parc des Princes in Paris due to suspension – a match his side lost 5-4 – he must now ensure they overturn the deficit at home.
Luis Enrique’s side will not make it easy. They hold the advantage after their first-leg victory at home and are well accustomed to the latter stages of the competition, having won their maiden continental crown last season.

Key Players To Watch
Harry Kane – Bayern
Kane has enjoyed another outstanding season with Bayern, scoring 54 goals and registering seven assists in 47 matches. Having already tasted Bundesliga success twice with the club, he is now targeting the jugular this season – the Champions League – which could place him in a strong position to win the Ballon d’Or, especially if England also lift the World Cup in July.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia – PSG
Kvaratskhelia has continued to come of age at PSG. He has been in blistering form this season, with his 10-goal tally in the Champions League leaving him just one goal short of breaking Zlatan Ibrahimović’s record from the 2013/14 campaign. There would be no better moment for the Georgian to achieve that feat than by helping his team reach a second successive Champions League final.
