Despite the negative result at the Parque dos Príncipes, the coach demonstrated rationality when analyzing the return match, scheduled for March 8th.
“I have high hopes”pointed out Galtier, in a press conference. “We had a conversation in the dressing room with my players, I’m hopeful that we’ll be renewed in three weeks, that we’ll have some players back, that we’ll be able to rotate too, without sacrificing the squad. And then we’ll have a game to play.”
The coach added: “If we can play the way we played in the last 25-30 minutes, we can hope to beat Bayern. Winning against Bayern could take us to a penalty shootout or qualifying.”. It is worth mentioning that the advantage score of the German team over PSG is from 1 to 0.
PSG IN THE FIELD
The Champions League returned with a game between PSG and Bayern Munich and the match marked the return of Kylian Mbappe to the lawns after three games without playing. The striker even left his mark on the afternoon of last Tuesday, the 14th, but had the goal disallowed and saw from inside the field the 1-0 defeat of Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League.
“I wasn’t supposed to play, but I wanted to help, bring energy. We tried everything, we worked day and night and I managed to play a little bit. It’s not what I wanted, I always want to play but we have to settle for what can be done, and today I was just able to do that. We need all the players to be in good shape, we’ve seen that when we’re complete we can play forward. They weren’t comfortable“, said the number 7 shirt.
