Revenge is the word when it comes to Champions League knockout phase match between Paris Saint Germain and Bayern Munich. The Parisians finished second in their group only because they scored less away goals than Benfica, and had to go to the unseeded group of teams. They got the second worse task: defeat Bayern Munich, which is only better compared to facing Real Madrid. And PSG fans (and most of the players) still have unfond memories of the 2020 final, their only yet, when Kingsley Coman scored the winner and took away their dream of a European trophy.CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: Liverpool draw Real Madrid, PSG host BayernSo, a revenge is a proper word, but it’s interesting that it didn’t came from the president, coach or the players, but rather sporting director Luis Campos. The scouting guru is the main man this season, the one who picked the players and also apointed the new coach, Christophe Galtier and he was bursting with confidence after the draw.”It’s a great opportunity to take our revenge, many of our players had played in this final. The objective is to play two great games to progress to the quarter-finals. I remember talking to the players in the locker room after the victory in Turin, I said it’s going to be Bayern. For us, it’s a great opportunity to continue the great season we’re having. Playing against a big club is very motivating. It’s the right time to play Bayern because we feel really good and very confident for the rest of the season. It’s an opportunity to show the world the great manager we have, the great team we have and the positive football we’re playing right now“ said the Portuguese in Nion.It‘s @PSG_English. ⚽️ What a interesting #UCLdraw! #packmas @FCBayern pic.twitter.com/gAFNRPW4Ne— Thomas Müller (@esmuellert_) November 7, 2022 The Bavarians were not too happy about the draw either. But, they were full of praise of their opponents.”It’s a difficult opponent. We had tough opponents in the group stage. The perfect group stage wasn’t really rewarded. Same goes for Paris, they won’t be extremely excited that they’re playing us. It’s still a long way away, it’s the World Cup and a few other games in between. It’s a tough opponent that has a lot of world-class players. The same applies to us – Champions League” said coach Nagelsmann.PSG’s last three opponents in the last 16: ▪️ Bayern ▪️ Real Madrid ▪️ Barcelona 🫢 pic.twitter.com/tm5f8dLeBW— B/R Football (@brfootball) November 7, 2022 Thomas Muller, who always has messages to his opponents on the social media rushed to send his thoughs about he upcoming tie.”Hello Paris, once again.
