it's true that PSG will have a very difficult time if Messi and Mbappe are absent in the first leg against Bayern, this weekend in their domestic league PSG lost to Monaco and it was clear that their attack line was not working effectively when left by Mbappe and Messi, Neymar as the main player can't make many changes without the tandem of Messi and Mbappe.
PSG's performance is currently in the spotlight because those who can't be consistent especially when they have to fight Bayern are really very difficult, if you look at the player material that is owned by both teams then the logical percentage is equal opportunity for both teams but if we look at the performance of the two teams in their respective domestic leagues, of course PSG will find it very difficult to qualify for the next round.
If I'm not mistaken, then Messi will play in the match with Bayern, and only Mbappe will miss the game, so it will be easier for Neymar. But I think that Mbappe is the strongest of this trio of strikers, so the attack of PSG will not be complete without him. Bayern looks better if we evaluate teams by the results of the last matches, but it's still a superficial analysis of what the teams are capable of, we will see in the first match on Tuesday in Paris.
It is very natural that there are many who doubt PSG's performance in the round of 16 match later. especially in their last two matches, PSG suffered defeat. without Mbappe, Messi and even Neymar, PSG is not a difficult opponent to be defeated by Bayern later. however, it looks like Messi will be included in the main starting line-up for PSG against Bayern. talking about the match later, we don't know what Galtier will implement, what formation they will use. even if Mabppe has to be absent in the match later, Galtier still has Ekitike's options. but to be honest, I also really doubt PSG's performance against Bayern Munich later.
On the other hand, positive signals are starting to side with the Ngalemanns troop. the reason is, they were able to get out of the downward trend and return to the winning track in their last two matches. meaning, it seems that Bayern Munich is more prepared to face the round of 16 match later than PSG.
maybe, Ngalesmann will take advantage of the momentum in the first leg to be an advantage for them.
