Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier mentioned he was hopeful his aspect may nonetheless qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League regardless of shedding 1-0 at residence to Bayern Munich within the first leg of their final 16 tie on Tuesday.
“It might sound a banal factor to say however tonight no one is thru and no one is out. I’m daring to hope that we are going to be brisker in three weeks and if we are able to play the best way we performed within the final 25 to half-hour then we are able to beat Bayern,” said Galtier.
Kingsley Coman scored the only goal of the game in Paris against his former club, finishing from an Alphonso Davies cross eight minutes into the second half.
PSG were poor for long spells but improved towards the end after Kylian Mbappe came off the bench on his return from a thigh injury and injected pace and direction into the Parisian attack.
Mbappe twice had goals disallowed for offside, with his second attempt eight minutes from the end from a Nuno Mendes cutback only being ruled out because of a highly marginal call.

“We can’t say how lengthy he will probably be out. Achraf had an intense World Cup the place he performed on by way of the ache and it was already troublesome at Monaco (a 3-1 defeat on Saturday) the place he couldn’t begin,” he said.
“We took the risk this time but he developed a muscle problem early on.
“Unfortunately we conceded just as we were preparing for Kylian to come on. We had two or three chances and sadly it was not enough but the last half an hour gives us hope.”
The second leg will probably be performed on the Allianz Arena on March 8.
