I'm more interested in Mbappe's situation - it will be interesting to see his reaction when PSG get knocked out by Bayern (I hope) and he leaves the tournament again in the 1/8 finals.
In the first round, Bayern Munich battled Inter Milan and Barcelona from the top of the table to qualify for the knockout round. And their opponent in this round is PSG. This is going to be the most important and competitive match of the knockout round. Manchester City, Bayern Munich and PSG are considered to be the favorites for this season's title.
I will put PSG team ahead in this match. The main reason for this is that Messi is in very good form right now. And if Messi, Neymar and Mbappe can maintain such consistency, it will not be difficult for them to break down Bayern Munich's defence. However, there is a possibility of players getting injured in the World Cup. I'd definitely bet PSG to win this match unless the players suffer horrendous injuries.
In my opinion, Messi does not show anything special this season (but compared to the disastrous last season, he certainly performs better). Neymar, in my opinion, performs more brigtly and this is reflected in his statistics. But in general, PSG remains not a star team, but a team of stars, so such a standard of team play as Bayern for me will be a favorite in this confrontation.
