The cup defeat at Olympique Marseille was followed by a 3-1 defeat in the league at Monaco. The alarm bells at PSG are ringing louder and louder – just before the all-important round of 16 first leg against FC Bayern on Tuesday (9 p.m., in the live ticker at sportbild.de).
Superstar Kylian Mbappé (24) was not part of the two defeats. He had previously suffered a muscle injury in the game against Montpellier.

After the bankruptcy in Monaco, the attacker addressed the fans with a message, calling for solidarity after the bad start to the year. He said via Instagram: “Let’s stay strong and united.” He concluded with the PSG motto “ici c’est Paris” – we are Paris. He also showed the club logo.
The excitement in the French capital is great, as is the pressure on coach Christophe Galtier. The big goal is clear: winning the Champions League. But the current form is more than worrying.
In Monaco, the capitals were missing alongside Mbappé and Lionel Messi. The Argentinian world champion should start training again on Sunday or Monday at the latest and be fit for the game against Bayern. In the case of Mbappé, a mission against Munich is out of the question – at least Galtier claims: “Kylian’s downtime has already been determined. He has a muscle injury.”
The coach had called up a better B-Elf for the top game in Monaco, for the star ensemble only the 16-year-old midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery scored in the 39th minute to make it 1:2. The goals from Monegasque Alexander Golowin (4th) and Wissam Ben Yedder (18th/45th + 2) sealed PSG’s third loss of the season. The team of Monaco’s trainer Philippe Clement reduced the gap to the championship leader from Paris to seven points with the victory.
