Poorly ranked in the Champions League, PSG will have to get back on track against Bayern. A perilous trip especially against a Harry Kane who is more confident than ever.
PSG eliminated from the Champions League in January. An unthinkable scenario at the start of the season but realistic after 4 days of competition. The fault lies in a catastrophic balance sheet for the Parisians with 4 points taken in 4 matches and a disappointing provisional 25th place. In addition, PSG was not spoiled by the draw. Their 4 remaining group matches are not easy to tackle. Paris still has to travel three more times. The only home match will be against Manchester City, 2023 European champion. A copious program with a first stop on the pitch of Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening.
Kane has never felt stronger
The current leader of the Bundesliga is still difficult to maneuver in the Champions League with his well-oiled collective. To make matters worse, Bayern have what PSG has been lacking since the start of the season: a prolific scorer. Harry Kane terrorizes German but also European defenses. Top scorer in the Bundesliga with 14 goals, the Englishman has already scored 5 goals in C1, more than the entire Parisian team. Author of a new hat-trick on Friday evening against Augsburg, Harry Kane sent a clear message to the Parisians, both literally and figuratively.
Indeed, he admitted to never having felt as strong on the pitch as he does now with Bayern Munich. “ To be honest, since joining Bayern I think I'm in the best shape of my career “, the 31-year-old told journalists after Bayern-Augsburg. Enough to significantly worry PSG before Tuesday evening. This is all the more true as we often forget that the Parisian club is also suffering defensively this season. A fragility visible at certain moments against Toulouse on Friday evening. Luckily, TFC didn't have a Harry Kane-like killer in their ranks.
