There couldn’t have been a better fixture to kickoff the knockout stages of 2022/23 Uefa Champions League than the Paris Saint-Germain Vs Bayern spectacle we got from the Stade des Princes....CONTINUE READING THE FULL ARTICLE>>>
PSG started the game without their star man, Kylian Mbappe and despite having the duo of Messi and Neymar, they weren’t as dangerous a team as they were when the young Frenchman was introduced intro the match.
After a very tactical first half which ended in a stalemate, Bayern Munich had found the back of the net through former PSG player, Kingsley Coman and were on course for an easy win away from home.
Moments later, Kylian Mbappe was introduced and he almost singlehandedly tuned the match around. Twice he found the back of the net from an offside position.
It was very clear that from the moment he stepped unto the pitch, Bayern had so many problems. He stretched their defensive highline and got behind on a few occasions. Unfortunately, he was unable to score.
With the second leg set to be played next month, the forward has issued a statement that is absolutely spot on.
Kylian Mbappe: “You have to be positive, with what I’ve seen, there’s room. We have seen that we were able to put Bayern in difficulty. All our players must be in good health and we will go there in Munich to do it (qualify).”
I really believe with Mbappe in attack, Bayern Munich would be making a very big mistake to think they have a massive advantage going into the second leg.
The 1-0 lead is quite an advantage but it shouldn’t make them relax because with Mbappe, PSG are a different team. If they play like they did today, especially defensively, then they might regret it.
