Veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer says Bayern Munich know how to “hurt” Paris Saint-Germain as the Bavarians brace for their away clash with the Champions League title-holders on Tuesday.
PSG won the Champions League last year at Bayern’s Allianz Arena home, thumping Inter Milan 5-0, but the Bavarian giants travel to the Parc des Princes in incredible form.
Bayern have won all 15 of their matches in all competitions so far this campaign, setting a record for the best-ever start in Europe’s top-five leagues.
The 39-year-old captain said his side “don’t have any fear” of the French champions, stating they love to play against PSG and are playing to win.
Neuer, a two-time Champions League winner with Bayern, said the visitors have a clear plan to rattle PSG.

“We are both teams that like to have the ball, that’s well-known, and perhaps we don’t like to defend much,” Neuer was quoted by AFP (via France 24).
“There will certainly be opportunities to counter-attack. You have to be wide awake for that, and also try to have a good defensive structure against these strong and fast opponents.
“That’s exactly how we want to hurt the Parisians.”
