Bayern beat PSG 1-0 in Lisbon last August for a sixth Champions League title but will be without a key member of that team, with Robert Lewandowski to miss the next four weeks with a knee ligament injury sustained while on international duty.
Lewandowski has scored 42 goals across all competitions this season, five in six Champions League matches - two of which came in Bayern's 6-2 aggregate win over Lazio in the round of 16.
"We live in the here and now. Our game will obviously change," Bayern manager Hansi Flick said of Lewandowski's absence. "Inside the box Robert is a different player, a special one. He creates goals out of nothing."
Lewandowski's club teammate Thomas Muller added: "Obviously his injury is very bitter for us and comes at a very inconvenient time.
"Now it is up to others to step up and fill the gap. This is not the first time that happens in football."

PSG, who like Bayern have dominated their domestic league in recent seasons, defeated Barcelona 5-2 on aggregate, thanks in large part to four goals from Kylian Mbappe over two legs.
The second-leg will take place at Parc des Princes on the 13th of April.
