We no longer present the beast, and the result of the first leg does not change anything. Mauricio Pochettino has also been clear on this subject, Bayern are favorites. And since in this fight, everyone assumes their status, the Bavarians do not hesitate to proclaim loud and clear that they are more beautiful and stronger, even in difficult times.
Especially in critical moments, to be honest. For Thomas Müller, it is in the DNA of the club. “At Bayern, the players have a very big mentality. In difficult times like this, it is our duty to raise the level on the mental level, to give everything on the field. “
Make Paris doubt as quickly as possible
Sure of this strength, the Germans would therefore ideally like to impose this idea of mental combat on Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarter-final second leg. Müller, always: “We would like to be able to force PSG to be in difficulty mentally, to ask questions if we score early. “We know of one who has well revised the comebacks of Barça and Manchester United in 2017 and 2019.

It still takes to be more skillful in front of the cages and pray that Keylor Navas leaves an average match … after all, why not believe in the miracle. “With 31 shots, if we’re more efficient, then that should be enough. We would be happy if we got so many chances again, ”the German striker is already rubbing his hands.
Neymar-Mbappé? Uncontrollable
But the difficulty will remain the same as on the way there. Bayern may take off on board, the threat to the depth of the Neymar-Mbappé tandem remains capable of screwing everything up in a fraction of a second.
“We know that we must cut the passing trajectories and prevent [Mbappé] to transplant in the axis, analysis on his side Hansi Flick, because it is there that he is the most dangerous. […] Neymar too, I love to see him play, the solutions he finds in one-on-one is extraordinary. “” Our goal, adds Müller, is to prevent Mbappé from arriving in this space or to prevent him from having time to think about which gesture to choose. It’s not that easy because at PSG, most of the time Neymar and Mbappé stay high, they are quite passive and do not defend too much to be able to quickly go against. It’s impossible to control this duo all the time. So you might as well control the game.
