PSV’s Paul Wanner Faces Bayern in Champions League Return

The 20-year-old has emerged as a starter in a deeper role under Peter Bosz following an early-season ankle ligament layoff.

Overview

  • PSV host Bayern in the final league-phase match, and Eindhoven need points to keep their playoff hopes alive.
  • Wanner has been used as a holding midfielder and earned praise from Bosz for his security on the ball and growing influence.
  • After missing most of preseason with a ligament injury, he broke into the lineup from late November and has scored since the winter restart.
  • The former Bayern prospect moved to PSV in August 2025 for €15 million, with the German club inserting a buy-back clause.
  • He played down friction over Max Eberl’s comments and at the pre-match press conference denied reports he had chosen Austria over Germany.
