After two Bundesliga wins in a row, FC Bayern is now facing the most important game of the season to date. In the second leg against Paris Saint-Germain, the record champions are fighting for a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Before the game on Wednesday evening (9:00 p.m.), coaches Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Müller answer questions from the press in the early afternoon.
sport.de accompanies the press conference this Tuesday afternoon from 2 p.m. on the LIVE blog.
+++ Does FC Bayern do it like in the first leg? +++
Thanks to a goal by Kingsley Coman, FC Bayern go into the second leg against Paris Saint-Germain with a comfortable starting position. Having won 1-0 in the first leg in mid-February, the French champions need a two-goal win to qualify for the quarter-finals.
On the other hand, a draw is enough for the Munich team to progress. Should PSG lead by a goal after 90 minutes, it will go into extra time. Can FC Bayern close the sack in regular time in front of a home crowd?
+++ Can Bayern stop Kylian Mbappé? +++
Before the landmark duel in the Champions League, PSG is struggling with personnel worries. Brazilian superstar Neymar and defender Presnel Kimpembe are both unavailable to the French capital club until the end of the season.
But there is also good news for the Parisians: Kylian Mbappé is fully operational again and, unlike in the first leg, will most likely play from the start. When the two CL giants met for the first time, the French superstar had to make do with the bench after suffering a muscle injury.
Now FC Bayern will have to defend the lightning-fast striker for at least 90 minutes. What plan does Julian Nagelsmann have to stop Mbappé?
