The pre game
Paris Saint-Germain approach their big meeting with the Champions League and Bayern Munich in an atmosphere of crisis, but Kylian Mbappé pushed hard to play in the round of 16 first leg and shake up the fate of his club. Tuesday (9 p.m.).
A new elimination, at this stage of the competition, would be catastrophic for a club which is not satisfied with its first place in Ligue 1, which is also threatened.
Because the team of Christophe Galtier fell asleep. She has just lost two matches in a row, with her two pursuers in the league, in Marseille (2-1) in the Coupe de France then Monaco (3-1) in Ligue 1, and her game is poor.
But the whole club hopes that the obsession of its Qatari owners to win the Cup with big ears will wake up PSG. “Almost all of my players are used to these big meetings,” said Galtier. “Certainly, Bayern are a quality opponent, but I know that they know how to raise their level of play, their standards, their involvement”. “I like to play these big matches, the big teams, these are the moments that the players are waiting for”engages Neymar, sitting in a press conference next to his coach. “We know that tomorrow will be difficult, it’s a very big club with very big players, but we have a good team too.”
In the group, Mbappé will not start, as expected. The Paris SG star striker will be on the bench. “Kylian, he is available and he will be on the sidelines”, said the technician at the microphone of Canal +. “But obviously we have a limited playing time, there is a risk taking but it is automatically calculated”, he added, specifying that the young Warren Zaire-Emery (16 years old) would be a starter at the Parc des Princes for this shock.
