Lewandowski or Verratti, who will be missed most by his team?
That's the € 1 million question… With 42 goals in 36 matches since the start of the season, Robert Lewandowski is the strongman of the Bavarian attack, probably the best center forward on the planet.
Beyond the numbers, Bayern is not the same without him.
Marco Verratti was given more responsibility and freedom by Mauricio Pochettino.
And it suffices to review the match that the “Little Owl” had delivered to Barcelona, in the round of 16 first leg, to understand that it was a good idea.
Without him, PSG coughs and struggles to build.
The answer to this question will depend, at least in part, on the outcome of this double confrontation.
Note that it is the former Parisian Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting who will be established in place of Lewandowski.
Serge Gnabry could have stuck to it, but the Covid-19 puts him on the sidelines.
Marc Roca, Corentin Tolisso and Douglas Costa are also unavailable.
On the PSG side, Alessandro Florenzi, Layvin Kurzawa, Leo Paredes and Juan Bernat are absent.
