PSG vs Bayern Munich preview
PSG
The French giants enter the Champions League Round of 16 fixture in one of the most challenging moments of the season, as they have looked vulnerable in their most recent games.
PSG are still the current Ligue 1 leaders with 54 points, five ahead of second-placed Olympique de Marseille, while Monaco are in the third spot.
However, Christophe Galtier’s men will need to bounce back from back-to-back defeats to Monaco (3-1) in the league and OM (2-1, in the French Cup) when they host Bayern, as it’s a tie that could very well be decided on details.
The tie offers a good opportunity for the Parisians to get revenge for their 2020-21 Champions League final defeat against the Bavarians, as they will try to make their European dream come true this campaign.
Lionel Messi, who didn’t play against Monaco with a hamstring problem, is expected to play against Bayern, and Marco Verratti could join him. Kylian Mbappé, who took part in a training session on Monday is still a doubt.
Bayern Munich
Meanwhile, Julian Nagelsmann’s men travel to Paris to get a good result that will help them book their quarterfinal ticket ahead of the return leg at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern also showed they are not invincible over the last weeks, as the six-time Champions League winners were held to four consecutive draws in January.
However, the German team overturned those results with comfortable wins in their last three games, which will probably give them a boost of confidence before facing PSG.
Bayern, who are looking to win their 11th consecutive league title, are sitting on top in the Bundesliga table with 43 points, but Union Berlin are only one point behind, while third-placed Dortmund are three points away from the leaders.
Bayern, who have progressed from the last-16 in nine of the last 10 seasons, won’t be able to call upon the services of Ryan Gravenberch, Noussair Mazraoui, Lucas Hernandez, and Sadio Mane, but Joshua Kimmich will return from suspension against the Parisians.
