A. Hakimi’s absence is a major blow, as he has contributed 1 goal and 6 assists from defense. However, key forwards K. Kvaratskhelia (10 goals, 5 assists) and O. Dembélé (6 goals, 2 assists) are available to lead the attack.

Bayern’s missing players are largely on the fringes of the Champions League scoring charts, so their core attacking output, driven by H. Kane and L. Díaz, remains intact. Paris Saint Germain lose significant creativity and progression from A. Hakimi, but retain a high share of their goals and assists through K. Kvaratskhelia, Vitinha, D. Doué, and O. Dembélé, keeping their forward threat substantial despite defensive disruption.
