What happened: PSG midfielder Vitinha emphasized the importance of sleep and nutrition following a record-breaking nine-goal Champions League semi-final first leg. Manager Luis Enrique confirmed that the squad’s physical condition is the primary focus before the return fixture in Germany.

Why it matters: The high-scoring nature of the first leg has placed a significant physical tax on the roster ahead of the trip to Munich. With Enrique targeting at least three goals at the Allianz Arena to advance, PSG’s conditioning will be a critical factor in the second leg outcome.

By the numbers: First-leg total goals: 9 (UCL semi-final record); Goals required for qualification: 3 (per Luis Enrique).

What to watch: PSG travels to the Allianz Arena for the second leg to determine who advances to the Champions League final.
