After the victory obtained in Ligue 1 on Friday at home against Toulouse (3-0), all eyes are now on the big European meeting on Tuesday (9 p.m.) against Bayern Munich. 25th in the league phase of the Champions League, PSG goes to Bavaria with the objective of grabbing valuable points to get closer to the first 24 qualifying places, while it only has four units after four matches. Halfway through, Luis Enrique’s players are in a bad position and will have to pull themselves together during this crucial clash if it is not already decisive.
To overcome this challenge against Vincent Kompany’s men, 17th in the standings (6 points), the Spanish technician can at least be satisfied with counting on an almost complete group. The last training session this Sunday morning in Poissy was notably marked by the return of Nuno Mendes. Spared against TFC due to a sprained right ankle contracted with his selection, the Portuguese left back took part in the collective session and should travel to Germany with the rest of the team.
The Parisian defense will regain its strength since Marquinhos, suspended on Friday, and Willian Pacho, who remained on the bench throughout the match, are also able to participate in this match on the 5th day of the Champions League. Only Gonçalo Ramos, Presnel Kimpembe, Lucas Hernandez, long injured, and Senny Mayulu, victim of a muscle injury in the right calf, should be missing.
The Parisian delegation is due to reach Munich this Monday at the end of the morning. Luis Enrique and a player are expected at a press conference at 5:10 p.m. before the final training session organized at 6:30 p.m. on the pitch of the Allianz Arena. The stands of the Bavarian enclosure should also welcome a nice Parisian contingent since a little more than 3,500 PSG supporters have planned to go across the Rhine to give voice and push their favorite team.
The possible composition of PSG: Donnarumma (or Safonov) – Hakimi, Marquinhos (cap.), Pacho, Nuno Mendes – Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, João Neves – Dembélé, Asensio, Barcola.
