Paris failed to win their Champions League semi-final home game, losing 0:1 to Bayern. The team suffered from a very passive performance in the first half and was better only in the last 20 minutes. Kingsley Coman scored the only goal. So how to succeed in the next game? That’s what PSG star Kylian Mbappé has revealed.
Paris Saint-Germain players must dig into their conscience after the opening eight-final clash with Bayern Munich and, above all, ask themselves one crucial question.
How do we succeed in the next game and advance? Christophe Galtier’s charges will have a tough task in the rematch. It’s also no secret that Bayern Munich will have a very tough game on the pitch, with the Bavarian giant driven forward by their fans.
Especially after a 1-0 away win. However, Kylian Mbappé spoke to Canal+ Sport about PSG’s chances and described how he thinks the Parisian side can win at the Allianz Arena.
Mbappé’s comments
“It’s an unpleasant opponent. Everyone needs to be healthy and get a good night’s sleep. I’m sure we can do something about it. If we attack more, they won’t be in a comfortable situation. We will quickly get over this defeat and go again,” Mbappé told Canal+ Sport.
It must be added, the Parisians had a very poor first half hour in Tuesday’s Champions League match, when they created virtually no serious chances. On the contrary, it was Bayern who threatened several times.
The biggest danger of the first half, however, came in the 43rd minute when Gianluigi Donnarumma caught a Joshua Kimmich shot. In stoppage time, Lionel Messi hit the wall from a direct kick.
The home side were more active after the change of sides, but Kingsley Coman was given plenty of space at the back post after the opening five minutes. Alphonso Davies found him with a superb centre and the French striker ripped into the net from a volley.
By the end of the match, the home side were unable to do anything about the result. Mbappé himself scored late in the second act, but the referee disallowed the goal due to offside.
In the end, despite Benjamin Pavard’s sending off, the German club took a one-goal lead into the home return leg.
