Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain will face off once again in their ongoing European rivalry. Tuesday's UEFA Champions League match will be the 14th encounter between the two, with Bayern having won seven times and PSG six.

Can PSG draw things level in this series? Before that, let's take a look back at the top five memorable meetings between the two clubs:

PSG 3-1 Bayern Munich - UCL group stage (1997)

The two sides faced each other four times in the 1990s, and one memorable match was PSG's 3-1 win over Bayern Munich in the group stage in November 1997. Raí was the star of the match as the Brazilian recorded two assists that night to help fuel their win.

PSG 3-0 Bayern Munich - UCL group stage (2017)

The group stage match in September 2017 marked the first time these two clubs had faced each other since 2000. This matchup belonged to Neymar Jr. as the Brazilian would do his best Raí impersonation, recording two assists in the 3-0 victory.

Bayern Munich 1-0 PSG - UCL final (2020)

After the Champions League resumed following the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the competition was relocated to Lisbon to finish the knockout stage.

Bayern Munich vs. PSG - UCL Quarterfinals (3-3 on aggregate, 2021)

After meeting in the final a year earlier, PSG did get their revenge in the knockout stage. In the first leg, the Ligue 1 side secured a 3-2 road win over the Bundesliga club thanks to a brace from Kylian Mbappé and two assists from Neymar. Bayern Munich won the second leg 1-0, but PSG advanced due to the away goal rule that was still in effect at the time.
