On the eve of the decisive game against PSG, the captain of the Bayern Munchen, Thomas Muller, spoke at a press conference on Tuesday about his expectations for the match. The midfielder positively evaluated the advantage of the Germans, but found that the confrontation is still open.
“Both teams have weapons to decide. The numbers show that we won by 1-0 in the first leg, it is an advantage. We are also playing at home, which is good for us. It will be a very balanced and difficult match”, he said.

Bayern’s number 25 also responded about his opponent’s greatest weapon: striker Kylian Mbappé. Muller stated that the team is working to stop the Frenchman, who gave the German defense a lot of work in the first leg.
“With his profile, he represents the greatest danger for us. You have to stop the passes, the spaces in which he plays with his strengths. We are brave in seeking duels with him”, he stated.
“The whole world likes to see him. We won’t watch but disturb him. If our plan works, he won’t be very amused.”
With a 1-0 lead in the first leg, Bayern are playing for a draw to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The duel against PSG will take place this Wednesday, at 5 pm (Brasília time), at the Allianz Arena, in Munich.
