As expected, Sadio Mané will miss the call Tuesday, in Paris, in the round of 16 first leg of C1.
No surprise for Sadio Mané. No bluff either. Absent from the field since November, which had forced him to withdraw from the World Cup, the Senegalese international is not in the Bayern group to face PSG on Tuesday (9 p.m.), in the round of 16 first leg of the Ligue des champions. Out for the rest of the season, Manuel Neuer and Lucas Hernandez are obviously not there either. Ditto for Noussair Mazraoui. A return to the ranks of the six-time European champion, that of Ryan Gravenberch. Hit in the knee, the former Ajax missed the last two matches.
This will be the 12th confrontation between PSG and Bayern, with a record to the advantage of the capital club (6 wins to 5). The Red and Blue also dismissed the Bavarians during the last duel between the two teams, in the quarter-finals, two years ago. On the other hand, it was the German club that won in the final, in Lisbon, in 2020.
