Nagelsmann: “The form of the teams on the day of the match will determine the qualification”

For the pivotal role played by their form Bayern Munich and Paris Saint Germain in the second leg of the “16” phase of the Champions League (8/3, 22:00), the coach of the Bavarians spoke, Julian Nagelsmann.

The German coach also emphasized that he expects a more aggressive approach from the French team given that they have been defeated 1-0 in the first game, while the presence of Mbappe from the first minute will also play an important role.

“We are a well structured team. We want to go far in the Champions League. But in the end, with big teams like Bayern and Paris, it’s always the form of the day that decides. Both teams are at a similar level. Both teams have stars. But our group has a good sense of cooperation and giving it their all» he first reported and then spoke of Gaultier’s ensemble:

“Paris need at least one goal to equalise. I expect them to push from the start. In France they often defend deep and hit on the counter attack. Their play style also depends on who is playing. In the first game, they didn’t have Mbappe from the start. When he entered the field, they started playing differently. Like I said, I expect them to be more aggressive and more open compared to how they were in Paris” were the words of the 35-year-old coach.
