PSG and Bayern Munich meet this Tuesday, February 14 for the departure of the round of 16 of the Champions League. Such a quality match leads many football lovers to wonder what will be the line-ups that one and the other team will present at the Parque de los Príncipes stadium in Paris. Although they have not made it official, the coaches, Christophe Galtier and Julian Nagelsmann, already have in mind which formations they will use in the match that marks the start of the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League. Take note!
The good news for the French coach is that the Argentine Lionel Messi seems to have overcome his hamstring problems and will be in the eleventh, while Mbappé has accelerated his recovery, he has returned to training earlier than expected, but everything indicates that he will start in the bench.
According to Le Parisien, the French DT consulted with the club’s medical staff and decided that the best thing for the man born in Bondy is to start from the bench. He does not want to take risks considering that the return will be played in less than a month: March 8 at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Like this the things, will be Neymar and Lionel Messi the forwards that command the Parisian attack in the first leg. Always according to the aforementioned source, Galtier has decided to bet on four midfielders behind the South American strikers. In addition, it is proposed to return to the scheme of three centrals, with eSergio Ramos in the axis of the rear.
Bayern’s reality ahead of the Champions League
Bayern Munich, meanwhile, comes to the first leg against PSG after adding three consecutive victories, two in the Bundesliga and one in the German Cup, although the streak has been marred by some atmospheric distortions in the locker room.
On the one hand, Manuel Neuer, out due to a fracture until the end of the season, publicly complained about the dismissal of goalkeeping coach Toni Tapalovic, which caused discomfort in the club’s leadership. He has transcended that Nagelsmann, he has been very critical of the players for his attitude and the tension is palpable with some stars in the locker room.
The return of Joshua Kimmich to the team is precisely one of the good news for Bayern, because his pairing with Goretzka gives stability to the midfield and is especially important against teams with offensive strength like PSG.
Nagelsmann has not established a scheme or an eleven and it is difficult to know how it will turn out in the Parc des Princes. The example is Joao Cancelo, who has played in three different positions in three games since he joined the team this winter. However, much indicates that this time Nagelsmann will prefer Cancelo in his natural position and will give Davies a chance on the left.
Another variant would be the defense of three center backs, with Benjamin Pavard, Dayot Upamecado and Mathjis de Light, and with Cancelo playing further forward.
