PSG face a one goal deficit heading into Wednesday’s Champions League round of 16 second leg against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena and will be without a key man up top.
Bayern Munich vs PSG Preview
The first leg in Paris was decided by Frenchman Kingsley Coman, netting the winner for Bayern Munich in the 53rd minute as the German side held on to take a crucial lead back home.
Kylian Mbappe did not feature in the first leg but will start for PSG this time around, whilst Neymar will miss the rest of the season with an ankle injury.
PSG bounced back from the Bayern defeat with three straight league wins against Lille, Marseille and Nantes with Mbappe scoring a combined five goals.
Bayern fell to defeat against Borussia Monchengladbach shortly after Coman’s heroics in the French capital, but responded with consecutive victories against Union Berlin and Stuttgart.
