At a press conference, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany estimated that this season’s PSG was no less strong than in previous years, despite the absence of a real star in its squad.
Without an international class player, as was the case in the past with Messi, Neymar or Mbappé, is PSG less strong than in previous years? “Absolutely not,” said Vincent Kompany, the coach of Bayern Munich, on the eve of meeting the Parisians on the 5th day of the Champions League.
“We are going to play one of the biggest clubs in Europe. They have great individuals and a world-class coach. It is a very talented team. Many players will reach the level of Messi, Neymar, Ibrahimovic in the years to come”, indicated the Belgian at a press conference this Monday. “The spaces between the lines are never big, the pressing is very aggressive and good. When they have the ball they have clear approaches. As a team they are really very good. I don’t expect have a boring match.”

Both teams have no room for error
For his part, Harry Kane knows that it “will be a complicated match” against Paris. “They have a good team, they want to dominate the game with possession. We also play the same way, that’s what we want to do at home tomorrow night. We want to make the match as complicated as possible for them. “We will try to press them, especially the goalkeeper,” warned the Bavarian striker, who has already scored 20 goals this season (14 in the Bundesliga, 5 in the C1 and one in the Cup).
17th in the Champions League and currently play-off with six points, Bayern is not really in a better position than PSG, 25th and first non-qualified (four points). “We are not used to being this low in the rankings. We know the situation we are in,” maintains Kane. “If we want to finish in the top 8, we almost have to win all our matches, and that’s also the case for PSG. It’s going to be a big match tomorrow (Tuesday) evening.”
