Round of Sixteen

Parc des Princes
Preview
Neymar has responded to the alleged confrontation in the dressing room after last Saturday’s loss to AS Monaco at the press conference ahead of the Champions League cracker against Bayern Munich. The attacker of Paris Saint-Germain does not deny the quarrel, but does not make it a big problem and came up with a special comparison.
PSG has not been in very good shape since the World Cup and suffered two defeats in the past week: first against Olympique Marseille, in the French cup tournament, and then in the league against AS Monaco. After the latter slip, emotions ran high. According to L’Équipe, technical director Luis Campos argued with Marquinhos and Neymar in the dressing room and the latter scolded Hugo Ekitike.
On Monday, Neymar attended a press conference to look ahead to Tuesday’s game with Bayern. He was of course asked about the alleged tensions of last weekend. “Something happened, yes,” said Neymar. “A little discussion, we disagreed. That happens almost every day, but I love everyone at the club. It’s like the relationship with my girlfriend. Football is not all love and only friendship.”

Neymar emphasizes that he does not want to make it too big and that the focus is entirely on Tuesday’s game. The attacker has recently been criticized for his game, but that does not worry him either. “Everyone has their own opinion, I respect that. I just do my best for the team and always will,” Neymar said. “I have a lot of confidence for the game against Bayern. Since I have been in Europe I have always been at the top and I know my qualities. We have a great team and are able to put something nice on Tuesday.”
The return of Kylian Mbappé would be a big boost for PSG. The attacker is back in the match selection after an injury, although it is unclear whether he can also have a serious part in the clash with Bayern. “He told me he felt good, so that’s a good sign,” said Neymar. “Kylian is an extremely important and a great player. When there are three of us (Lionel Messi is also there) We feel very strong. I hope he can play on Tuesday.”
