So it’s all just a bluff about Kylian Mbappé (24) and Lionel Messi (35).
The two “injured” superstars are on Tuesday against Bayern (9 p.m./ here in the live ticker) in the squad. Now Paris coach Christoph Galtier (56) has to apologize to Julian Nagelsmann (35), who had suspected the bluff beforehand and had been attacked by his colleagues!
On Monday morning, Mbappé fully participated in team training and is in the squad. Presumably to get in as a super joker in the course of the game.
Mbappé injured his thigh two weeks ago, PSG quickly announced: three weeks break. Nagelsmann had doubted that and said: “I don’t think he’s going to fail. It’s written relatively vaguely on the Paris homepage. I prepare as if he is playing.”

The statements made Galtier angry, he ranted: “That’s not the style of the club and not my style at all. I don’t have to answer that.”
Messi is also there after alleged knee problems and is expected in the starting XI.
Christophe Galtier has been the head coach of Paris Saint-Germain since the summer of 2022
Bayern’s sports director Hasan Salihamidzic (46) remains relaxed: “We’re happy when all the top stars are there and we can compete at the highest level. For me, the most important thing is that our team plays with top players.”

The Bavarians appear in a gala cast in Paris. At training in Munich before departure, everyone was in a good mood. Only Leroy Sané (27) seemed a bit listless.
Brazzo: “We’re in a good mood, the boys are hot and looking forward to the game. Those are exactly the games where you can show what you can do.”
