In fact, Bayern Munich will not be an easy opponent for PSG. Because Bayern Munich have a great XI. Who have been performing well in the league this season. PSG will need to show great spirit and energy to beat Bayern Munich.
That's true, but I also wouldn't say PSG has bad things, because in terms of their abilities and experience in their respective leagues they are already very extraordinary and even have almost the same strength in the Champions League, even though one of them will lose later, but their match is a match that will be very exciting to watch because when there are two great teams appearing in a match, the atmosphere of the match becomes more intense and this is what I like.

The money spent by Paris Saint Germain to make them a star-studded team is fantastic, but when it comes to the Champions League, money is not a factor where they will easily get a trophy. So this is what they have to realize, the effort that costs a fantastic amount has not yet brought them a trophy, they have to do homework to achieve their dream achievement in the Champions League.
True, this is not a real benchmark even they are still inferior to the composition of players which are expensive players.We must know that the Champions League is not only about how rich and how good the quality of the individual is. Even though this does affect them, seeing their condition there are actually other things such as cohesiveness or teamwork and of course their clear experience is still lagging behind.
Current conditions are still uncertain in the top 16. it would be great if they can win against Bayern but if they lose it will only be the same as they can't do much in the Champions League.
I have no doubt that the other big title contenders must be wishing Liverpool to eliminate Real Madrid in this stage. 
Because maybe Real Madrid don't have the strongest squad on paper but they have been reigning in the Champions League for long years. They know how to deal with any kind of opponent here very well. The previous season was a good example for that. They were almost being eliminated by Manchester City though but they even made a comeback in such situation. This is an opportunity for Liverpool to have some revenge on them as well actually. Because Real Madrid have a strong history against them. Liverpool are much stronger here now comparing to their EPL effort. But let's see.

I don't know whether Messi would be eager to break such record now. He must still be under the influence of the World Cup title these days. It is his first World Cup title in his career in the end so it is very meaningful. I don't mean of course that he would play complacently for PSG from now on. But it's like he has completed the missing piece of the puzzle by this achievement.
He would just try to do his best for PSG to reach their Champions League title target and that's all.

Messi will certainly like to win the CL with PSG. There will be less pressure on Messi because of course he won the World Cup with Argentina. But the CL is slightly different. Draw against Bayern Munich is difficult, but if you get through it, the way is basically open to the title. With an open draw you can be seeded against anyone, so we could just as well see Man City - PSG in the next match. Since I expect few problems from Man City in their game against RB Leipzig. Today is January, so in a month we will start again with the CL.

As Ronaldo has signed for Al-Nassr now, I wonder if Messi will be able to get past Ronaldo's goal amount in the Champions League before his retirement.
I assume Ronaldo will retire at the team he is going to now. Even if he returns to Europe one last time I don't think there would be a big team to be interested in him. He can still play in the Champions League then if he becomes okay to playing for an average team that have qualified for the tournament. But I still don't expect any of these to happen. Messi doesn't have a big gap with Ronaldo considering these numbers. He is already very productive and I expect him to play even one more season at PSG. This is enough time for him to break the goal record.
It will be difficult for Messi I think if he is not going to play more than 2-3 seasons.In Champions League Messi has not scored with Paris as many goals as he has scored with Barcelona and I doubt this is going to change.Paris has its main objective to win the Champions League and they will not care much of furnishing Messi with a lot of balls,they just need to get past their adversaries and score.
The time though clearly permit to Messi to score more than 12 goals during these 3 seasons which I am assuming he will be playing including this one we are already in the middle of it.This does not mean that if Messi scores more goals than Ronaldo is a better player than him,they both have won a couple of times the Ballon D'Or so for me they are the two greatest players of our time,as simple as that.
The match between PSG and Bayern Munich will be very competitive. Both the teams have very good players who will fight hard to show their potential. However, one of Bayern Munich's players, Sadio Mane, would have been stronger if he had joined the team. But he will probably miss this game due to his injury.
This is still not really certain.Mane's injury condition is expected to heal in February after he has been absent for about 3 months but this is still not a reference for Bayern to take him to the match later.
The PSG and Bayern match will be held in mid-February but we also still don't know whether Mane will be ready or not for this match although the hope is that he will be back to 100 percent fit.
But I personally don't think PSG have any chance of winning the Champions League title. Because PSG's attack is good enough but their defense line-up needs some improvement. PSG will understand their weaknesses when they play against big teams.
All PSG players must unite and help each other to achieve their goals, as it is known that the PSG squad is in an internal conflict, Mbappe is in conflict with Neymar. The latest news I read Mbappe made demands on PSG management to immediately sell Neymar, Mbappe wants Galtier to be replaced with Zidane immediately. Harmony between players really supports the team in achieving its goals, Mbappe's selfishness prevents PSG from winning the UCL title. Especially now that Mbappe is having personal problems with Messi.

However, one of Bayern Munich's players, Sadio Mane, would have been stronger if he had joined the team. But he will probably miss this game due to his injury.
Schedule for the match between Bayern Munich vs PSG on February 15, this is a long time for Sadio Mane to rest. Of course there is still a possibility that Sadio Mane will recover from his injury. But I'm sure PSG will advance to the next round, because this is the hope of a big French club. And this also repeats the history of the 2021 quarter-finals. The PSG superstar will be stressed to win the champions league title for this season. If we look at the whole club, of course the position of PSG players is in first place. They have bought the best players at this time.

This is enough time for him to break the goal record.
The type of commitment and fight that Messi gave in the World Cup on behalf of Argentina he cannot give it for any club at his age. What he did in the World cup was the last fight of his career which he gave it all spiritually and physically. I don't think there is any motivation that will be up to what he had in the World Cup .
PSG fans should instead look upto to Mbappe to deliver them.
These two players are actually still very good for the PSG team to rely on this season, so there is no need to ignore one of them and rely only on one of them. Because the more players a team can rely on, the better it will be for the team. After all, the opponent that PSG will face is also not a bad team this season, so PSG needs to make sure all their players are fit and reliable in every game.PSG fans should instead look upto to Mbappe to deliver them.
PSG needs to get better motivation this season for a title in the Champions League, because PSG has never had a Champions League trophy during the team's career in the Champions League. So for this season PSG should be more motivated to get trophies so that their historical record gets better even though it won't be immediately on par with several teams that have won several trophies in the Champions League.
For the past few seasons, PSG has got one of the best squads on paper and as a result, they were the favorite to win the UCL but they were unable to do so because they had really poor team chemistry among them especially Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar. So they really need a coach with a big personality who can manage them really well and set them straight. I think Zinédine Zidane would've been the perfect fit but it is what it is.

PSG should immediately evaluate this before they meet Bayern Munich in the Champions League, because a team like Bayern Munich is not a small and weak team. But Bayern Munich is a big team that is often a threat in the Champions League and Bayern Munich is a very balanced opponent for PSG in the Champions League this season, so the PSG team must immediately evaluate if there are weaknesses in certain lines within the team.
It is official now,we are not going to see Cristiano Ronaldo at Champions League games of 2023,he choose Al Nassr to play with in the Middle East.Many will not be happy with this choice but I think we can all agree it was an economic choice,he is becoming 38 in February and he has signed a contract that will give him with the total benefits from publicity and all others about 500 million in 2 years,who would not make such move for 2 years.Personally if I were him I would even go and play with all the penguin in the North or South pole,don't remember well where they are .
What are your thoughts at such move?
at least if at Al Nassr Ronaldo is highly valued and valued at a large fee I don't think it's a problem, because he will certainly be close to retirement too and enjoy old age with enough money from a 2-year contract with the club that will suffice his needs in old age later, lol.What are your thoughts at such move?
but whatever it is, at least this news dismissed the news circulating that Ronaldo will play for the club in the UCL, Al Nassr has officially announced it too, whatever it is, it is a decision that must be respected
Bayern Munich and PSG are very strong. Am still scared about PSG. PSG is a team that has the best squad in the world. Bayern is capable of defeating PSG but it won't easy for them when PSG already has players that can be considered as world best .
The quality of individual players does not necessarily mean that the team is the best. If so, Brazil would be the world champion in football, and Manchester City and PSG would already be European champions several times.There are many rumors that the relations between the biggest stars of PSG are not good, especially Mbappe's relations with Neymar and Messi.
A team is not only the sum of the individual qualities of the players, but it is also important that the team is focused and united on a common goal.
It seems that this has not really been the case with PSG in recent years.
This PSG VS Bayern Munich match is going to be a really interesting one as none of the teams are 100% fit. Bayern Munich have a lot of injury problems and PSG have some internal problems going on with their players which have increased after the World Cup, in my opinion.
If I am not wrong Bayern Munich's Sadio Mané will be injured for their next game which is going to be a big blow for Bayern Munich. And as you said individual performances matter very less in these competitive football games.
Messi is a professional footballer, and forbthe love of the profession, professionals don't think that way. Mesi has laid hand on his greatest football dream, but that doesn't mean he has completely lost interest in achieving more, because I believe PSG didn't just sign him for his already made achievement, they did so because they needed him to help them achieve more. Messi is still much concerned about helping PSG grap the champion league as expected.
Messi could have made new history for him when he helped PSG win the UCL trophy. PSG has spent quite a lot of money on it. Because the domestic league competition is not so tight, PSG must prepare its strength.
True, but Psg is a team with a strong enough squad to be champions in UCL. They have a team quality above the French league. Now they want to win this trophy in return for the money they spent to win the UCL. This is also possible for psg. Psg has this staff quality. Along with Mbappe, Messi, Neymar, the level of squad quality is much higher. They are one of the best candidate teams again this year.
