Bayern Munich vs. PSG: Who makes the combined XI ahead of second leg?
Watch the Champions League on DAZN - US, CA & NZ
Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain put on a show last week in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final, scoring nine goals between them as the French outfit claimed a narrow advantage with a 5-4 victory.
On Wednesday they'll get together and do it all over again, with more fireworks expected as Bayern will get to play the role of hosts in the second leg.
Ahead of that match, who would get into a current Bayern-PSG combined XI? DAZN's Steven Moore took a stab at it.
GK: Manuel Neuer
It's hard to go against one of the all time greats, especially when PSG has seen their goalkeeping duties split between two players this season. Matvey Safonov is good, but Neuer is a GOAT.
LB: Alphonso Davies
"Nuno Mendes is having a great season, but overall got to go with Alphonso Davies," Moore said.
CB: Jonathan Tah

Another case of an experienced vet getting the nod over a younger player, in this case Willian Pacho.
CB: Marquinhos
Moore chose PSG's Brazilian captain over Dayot Upamecano due to "experience and leadership for well over a decade, both internationally and at a domestic level."
RB: Achraf Hakimi
It's "not even close" for Moore, who takes Hakimi over Bayern's Josip Stanišić.
CM: Vitinha
"Overall I'll say [Joshua] Kimmich," Moore said. "But right now? Vitinha."
CM: João Neves

Moore on Neves vs. Aleksandar Pavlović: "Two maginificant 2004-born players. Because I've gone Vitinha, I'll pair him with João Neves."
AM: Jamal Musiala
"Fabian Ruiz is one of those underrated midfielders, especially internationally with Spain," Moore explained. "But Musiala? Generational talent."
LW: Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
Having to choose between Kvaratskhelia and Bayern's Luis Diaz, Moore stated: "The top two wingers in football right now? I'll go with Kvaradona."
RW: Michael Olise
"Mr. Non-Chalant is in a world of his own this year," Moore said of Olise, who gets the nod over young sensation Désiré Doué.
ST: Harry Kane

"Last year's Ballon d'Or winner loses this battle to the potential Ballon d'Or winner of this year," Moore stated, choosing the England captain over Ousmane Ousmane Dembélé.
