Bayern Munich Coach Reveals Plan to Stop Messi and Mbappé in Champions League Clash
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) will face Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16, with Lionel Messi returning from a hamstring injury. Despite some criticism from PSG fans, the 7-time Ballon d’Or winner remains a crucial player for his team.
To stop Messi and fellow PSG superstar Kylian Mbappé, Bayern’s coach Julian Nagelsmann plans to limit their space on the field. “Our plan is to reduce spaces. They are dangerous if they get the space they want,” Nagelsmann said at a press conference.

At 35 years old, Messi still hopes to win his fifth Champions League title, having won four with his former team FC Barcelona. He also aims to secure PSG’s first Champions League victory. However, rumors suggest that Messi may not continue with PSG after this season. Inter Miami has reportedly been tempting him to join Major League Soccer (MLS).
Despite any speculation about his future, Messi’s focus remains on helping PSG advance in the Champions League. The match against Bayern Munich will be a key test for both teams, with fans eagerly anticipating the outcome.
