Whenever I heard that Messi Mbappe would not play in this match, I doubted that PSG would not win this match. That's why many people bet for AS Monaco yesterday. However, PSG conceded 3 goals in the first half. And PSG managed to score a goal. Neither team could score in the second half. PSG left the field with a 3-1 defeat at the last minute. This is PSG's third defeat in the current league. Of course, PSG is at the top of the league table with 54 points in 23 matches. And AS Monaco has reached the second position with 47 points in 23 matches. And Marseille is in third position with 46 points after playing 22 matches. PSG's 3rd defeats from first place is a huge blow. But let's see what benefits PSG can bring against Bayern Munich on the 15th.
I'm not surprised by PSG's defeat against Monaco, especially since SPG has a crucial match in the next three days against Bayern in the last 16 of the Champions League. but at least, this defeat was really embarrassing for Galtier who couldn't maximize the performance of his troops. I'm starting to doubt, with what Galtier applies. supposedly, this match could have ended in a draw or at least PSG lost by a narrow score.
In this match, Galtier again tweaked his formation with a 3-5-2 pattern. and again, the PSG players struggled to adapt to what Galtier wanted. the absence of Mbappe and Messi clearly had a huge impact, it was evident that PSG had a very difficult time keeping up with Monaco's game. even Monaco has a much better chance than PSG, they have 19 total shots, 9 of which are on target. meanwhile, PSG only had 7 total shots, 2 of which were on target. as a result, PSG had to be humiliated a second time like the PSG match against Lens.
Talking about the Champions League match, I can't speculate much that this match will feature an interesting fight from the two teams. but at least, Bayern have an advantage if it turns out that Mbappe and Messi are absent in the game later.
What I think of all this is that what PSG really wanted was to protect their star and determining players, so as not to get injured, although I'm not very sure, but I seemed to read on Facebook that Lio Messi had been injured, and I don't know He doesn't know if he will be in the game against Bayern, which I think if he is, it will be a considerable loss, because the team needs him for that game.
Bayern will not lose an opportunity in this game, now, I understand that the coach put a different team to play against Monaco to get out of that commitment and things did not go well for him. What I think is that PSG is now concentrating only on the UCL, they know they have to win, on the other hand, Monaco and Marseille are on the lookout, but I think PSG's advantage is quite big, for me after this match in the UCL will change the way they play.
PSG manager Christophe Galtier confirmed on Friday that Messi will be available to feature against Bayern Munich on Tuesday, although it is unclear whether the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner will be at 100 percent for the contest.
If it were up to former France national team manager Raymond Domenech, he would roll out Messi to play against the reigning Bundesliga champions, even if the forward is not fully fit for the matchup.
“There is no hesitation to have,” Domenech said during a recent appearance on the “L’Equipe du Soir” program. “We must try. If they don’t try, it’s useless because the PSG season is based on the European Cup.

Just 2 out of 5 isn't a good result. It would have been better if Mbappe and Messi were featured but it wasn't possible. If at all it happens, It will be so challenging for PSG to win The Bundesliga champions without Lionel Messi who is undoubtedly PSG's best player by rating.
It is okay to say that PSG is currently not fit to play Bayern Munich.
Well now things were not easy for PSG in the UCL, the result is hard to double despite the fact that it was only 1 goal against them, now they have to play in Germany against a Bayern that is going to take care of and defend that result, it is a game to the death, what I intuit is that PSG is going to come out with the same intensity that they came out to play when Mbappé came on to play that the whole team was at
Something that we all should know is that Mbappé did not have to play, according to himself, he said that he came in to help his team and his friends, and he almost managed to make a difference, however the goal he scored was disallowed by thousandths in that out of bounds game, something totally heart attack.
Psg team totally destroyed marseille yesterday and secured the title in my opinion after monaco loss yesterday, despite the score being 3 0 marseille team had as many chances as psg team did but they were not surgical in the finish and not to mention the huge role donnaruma played in the win since he saved many dangerous goal chances, this win will give them a huge moral boost when facing bayern in the champions league.
I also think that PSG's morale and motivation to perform better in the second leg of the Champions League is huge, but don't forget that recently Bayern Munich has also started to be able to beat strong teams in the Bundesliga and the second leg of the Champions League later too. took place at home to Bayern Munich so there are still no easy words for PSG in the Champions League even though PSG have been able to beat Marseille in Ligue1.
Well, Marseille is one thing and Bayern is another, Bayern, as well as PSG, are also doing very well, they beat Union Berlin, who was about to take first place in the Bundesliga, so Bayern and PSG are very motivated, let's also remember that Bayern has a game advantage over PSG, so they have a lot of need, and PSG has to go play in Germany, which will be visitors, there are many things they have against, in the Ligue 1 I do not deny that they will be champions, but now the UCL is something else, French fútbol has improved a lot, but German fútbol is taking its level.
