PSG receives criticism, Mbappe: "We are favorites as always" | Israel today

Since the Qatari royal family took over PSG, they have mainly dreamed of one thing - to bring the Champions Cup to the City of Lights.

Year after year they have seen the team fail in this attempt and also yesterday (Tuesday) Paris suffered a heavy blow when they lost at home in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League to Bayern Munich.

Kingsley Coman scored the goal that made the difference and now the Bavarians have the better chances of advancing to the quarter-finals.

In the French "L'Equip" and in the German "Bild" they gave Neymar and Leo Messi a score of 3 and did not spare criticism from the big stars of the team.

At the same time, Kylian Mbappe, who came in as a substitute and made a big difference in the game, remains optimistic about the rematch in 3 weeks.

"In the last part of the game we showed that we can make them feel uncomfortable when we play our attacking football," said the vice world champion.

Let's hope that everyone with us will be healthy in return.

We will go there with the aim of winning and qualifying for the next stage.

I wasn't planning to play, but I wanted to help my friends.

You have to move on, and fast, keep what's positive, and go there to pass a stage.

From what I've seen, there's a chance.

Paris Saint-Germain is a favorite, as always."

PSG coach Christophe Galtier also analyzed the game and said: "We knew that we were missing some important players in the lineup, and we were afraid that they would start the game with high and massive pressure. That's what happened in the end. In the first hour of the game, we had a lot of difficulty. They controlled the ball , they made us do things in a hurry. The last 25 minutes gave us hope. If we keep the players healthy and get those who were injured fit in the three weeks until the second leg, we'll have a good chance. We weren't eliminated today, and we didn't advance to the next stage, but I'm very optimistic And that's also what I told the players."

Sergio Ramos, who showed good ability, made a veiled criticism of his team's style of play: "In the first half, we played too low, we were too defensive, and it was very difficult that way, it's a complicated game. I'm very disappointed for the fans. We'll have to show more character in the return match in Munich. The more you play, the more experience you have. It will get better and better, but now we have to stay united."
