Former Bayern Munich and German national team forward Sandro Wagner spoke about Bayern’s performance after their 2-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League round of 16. He explained that the team did not play at its best, but their defensive solidity helped secure the win, and the second half showed a clearer intent to answer lingering questions. Wagner emphasized that Paris Saint-Germain did not threaten Bayern after the break.
In the first leg, Bayern had a single missed opportunity, and the return match finished with the German side advancing 2-0 on aggregate. Maksim Shupo-Moting opened the scoring in the 61st minute, and Serge Gnabry sealed Bayern’s progress with a late goal, illustrating the efficiency of Bayern’s frontline and the reliability of their counter-attacks.
Paris Saint-Germain was missing Brazilian forward Neymar due to an ankle injury that will sideline him through the season’s end. Initially, it seemed the injury would require only a few weeks of recovery, but subsequent assessments indicated a more serious issue, and Neymar is expected to resume training around the summer period.
Former PSG coach Christophe Galtier was asked about his prospects at the club following his departure from the Champions League, reflecting the broader uncertainty within the squad and its leadership as the competition enters the later stages of the season.
