El PSG almost the entire season is played in just three weeks. It is the time you have to react and make the machada in Munich, on March 8, after being defeated 0-1 at the Parque de los Príncipes. But the road to the round of 16 will not be easy. To begin with, they receive Lille this Sunday at their stadium and the following day another Classic returns and again at the Vélodrome, where they already fell last week in the Cup.
They have three consecutive defeats and it is vital for Qatar to come out on top to reach the round of 16 with confidence. There is no doubt that for those of Galtier, who receive Nantes three days before the big event, obtaining good results would be an important boost apart from the messages that are being sent from the locker room and from the club as of today that a comeback is possible.
PSG and their fans cling above all to Mbappé while in the dressing room they believe that it is possible to win at the Allianz. They believe that with Mbappé on the field they saw a superior team and they hope that for the meeting on March 8 he will arrive in the best conditions since he was only able to play half an hour of the game yesterday. They expect something similar from Messi, who has arrived very just at the first leg, and the group is convinced that he will arrive with everyone ready. “We have to eat well, rest well, recover everyone. Nothing is lost,” launched Mbappé, who once again threw the team on his back and was the one who stood up in the mixed zone to send a message of optimism. “PSG is always the favourite”, he said before leaving the huddle he formed with the French journalists.
Ramos, the other reason
The other reason to believe in PSG is Sergio Ramos, who had a great game against Bayern and who has also sent a message to the fans online that nothing has been decided and that they will fight until the end. The Park of the Princes seems that a truce has been given until the game in Munich passes. This time all the players, with Ramos, Messi or Neymar at the helm, went to the bottom where the ultras of their team cheer on to thank them for their support.
Last Sunday, a group of fans went to Camp des Loges, the team’s training center, to ask for explanations for the situation the team is experiencing and upset with some of their players who, after falling in Monaco, went to the locker room without thanking the support of his fans.
Galtier and the squad also hope to arrive at the event in better condition and not just because of Mbappé’s injury. Achraf is also touched and left at half-time, Verratti has just returned and Messi has also arrived very just to go after being injured in Marseille.
Al Khelaifi, pending to make decisions
The club, for its part, with Nasser al Khelaifi in the lead, is also waiting for what happens on the return to make decisions. Galtier has not managed to straighten the course in 2023 and has not found the formula despite the good start that kept him undefeated even before the break for Christmas and the World Cup. The Champions League is the number one goal for the club and with the arrival of Messi it is not expected to finish in the round of 16. Ending the curse of this round that they have only been able to overcome on two occasions out of the last seven, against Dortmund and Barça, while they lost last year against Madrid, is the obsession now in Paris.
