Paris – If a player, especially one who was injured before the World Cup in Qatar and was only able to celebrate his comeback this Saturday, has to stand in front of the angry fans with a megaphone in his hand – then the crisis is still a mild one Word.
This is what happened at Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday evening when Presnel Kimpembe had to appease his own supporters after the 3-1 defeat at AS Monaco (with first-choice goalkeeper Alexander Nübel).

A 16-year-old scores the only PSG goal
The ailing French champions’ only goal came from just 16-year-old talent Warren Zaire-Emery, not superstar Neymar or anyone else. Significant. And that before the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League against FC Bayern on Tuesday.

The team seems insecure, without leadership and weakened in terms of personnel. “If I weren’t worried, then something would be completely wrong,” said PSG coach Christophe Galtier after another away defeat like three days earlier in the French Cup at Olympique Marseille (1-2).
France experts: Messi will definitely play against Bayern
Goalscorer Kylian Mbappe? Absent, injured in the thigh – not an issue for the Bayern game. “We’re taking zero, zero risk with Kylian,” Galtier said. World champion Lionel Messi? Also absent, injured knee. But, and this is the news that gives all PSG fans hope: The slightly injured Argentinian, according to French experts when asked by AZ, will certainly play against Bayern. The break at the weekend served to protect the 35-year-old.
The flu outbreak that was allegedly rampant in the team (defense chief Sergio Ramos, for example, was only substituted on in the second half) did not turn out to be so dramatic. In these “difficult times” you have to “stand together,” said Galtier. The Paris hope is called Messi.
