All eyes are already on Wednesday’s clash. Even that of Antoine Kombouaré. After Nantes’ defeat on Saturday in Ligue 1 (4-2), the former PSG technician spoke of the Parisian chances against Bayern Munich, in the knockout stages of the Champions League. And for him, the Parisians can qualify.
“PSG is my club. I really hope they win the Champions League. The toughest march will be on Wednesday,” began the FC Nantes coach at a press conference. Before supporting his point: “If Paris manages to pass this round and get Bayern out, it can smile. It’s all the harm I wish them.”
“PSG is a team that wears you out”
In the first leg, the capital club lost at the Parc des Princes to a goal from Kingsley Coman. The task therefore promises to be difficult at the Allianz Arena, facing Bayern Munich, leader of the Bundesliga and who have lost only one of their last six games in all competitions.
Antoine Kombouaré then analyzed the game proposed by Christophe Galtier. And he explained that his team had been powerless, despite their comeback in seven minutes: “It’s a team that wears you out, with battering, that tires you. We lacked freshness, once they score the third goal, it’s complicated. But I’m proud of what the players have shown, of character. But opposite, there is a great team, two very great players especially. Messi is difficult to catch, and Mbappé absolutely wanted his record.
