Does he play – or does he not play?
For a long time it was unclear whether PSG superstar Kylian Mbappé (23) after his injury Champions League cracker against Bayern today (9 p.m., live on Amazon Prime/Advertisement and live in the ticker at BILD) in the round of 16 first leg.
Bayern coach under pressure! Paris becomes Nagelsmann’s destiny
Yesterday there were already the first signs that Mbappé will be there. The striker participated fully in team training.
Now the French newspaper “Le Parisien” reports that Mbappé will not be in the starting XI. The national player first presses the bank in the Parisian Prince Park.
Two weeks ago, Mbappé injured his thigh, PSG quickly announced: three weeks break!
Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann 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.”
And that’s how it is, if not from the start – the PSG’s Mbappé bluff failed to fool Bayern.
Bayern’s sports director Hasan Salihamidzic (46) already said quite 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.”
