PARIS --Paris Saint-Germain's UEFA Champions League round of 16 first leg underlined exactly how important Kylian Mbappe is to the French giants.
We need to get all our players back healthy and go for the win to qualify. Ultimately, PSG woke up too late here and now have it all to do in Germany next month, but there was no doubt that the French champions were infinitely better for him being on the pitch. Mbappe was out of the field at half-time limbering up and it was at that moment that the home crowd truly woke up after what had been quite a subdued home atmosphere. When PSG did finally open Bayern up, both Mbappe and Neymar found January arrival Yann Sommer in inspired form to keep the visitors in front despite the former's offside finish. However, arguably against the run of play, Kingsley Coman put Bayern ahead on 53 minutes just as the home supporters were lifting the team with Mbappe about to come on. Absent from the pregame warm-up, there was fear around Parc des Princes that PSG might have overstated his fitness in a bid to win some early mind games.

As the chances kept coming for PSG, Pavard was red carded after receiving a second yellow card for a late challenge on Messi. “Overall, we did a good job,” said manager Julian Nagelsmann. There is always a good possibility to qualify.” By now, PSG had started to come alive and Mendes was proving a lively presence on the left wing. [Champions League](http://www.cnn.com/2023/02/14/football/uefa-responsible-champions-league-final-2022-chaos-spt-intl/index.html), but it looks to be the same story for [Paris Saint-Germain](http://www.cnn.com/2023/02/09/football/marseille-psg-french-cup-2023-intl-spt/index.html). Kingsley Coman, who also condemned PSG to a 1-0 defeat in the Champions League final two and a half years ago, scored the only goal of Tuesday’s game in the French capital, putting Bayern in control of the tie ahead of the second leg in Munich on March 8.
Pape Matar Sarr also shines in narrow defeat at San Siro that hinted at bright futures for young Spurs midfielders.
The statistics showed that he completed a team high 93% of his passes and he helped to dig out a foothold after the nightmare of the early concession to Brahim Díaz, which would prove to be the only goal of the tie. It feels as though Sarr is ahead of Skipp in Conte’s thinking, providing a better contrast to Højbjerg although, with numbers thin, both are set to be key players in the weeks ahead. Yet Skipp and Sarr more than held their own in the on-pitch style stakes and it was difficult to separate them at the top of the Spurs match ratings. Conte had counted on him after his arrival at Spurs in November 2021 but the following January, Skipp succumbed to a pelvic problem that would end his season. Skipp found the answers in the battle with Sandro Tonali and Rade Krunic and so did Sarr on only his third Spurs start. Milan has its quintessential look and so do the Rossoneri, their players arriving and departing in tailored grey suits with red cuffs on one sleeve, squad numbers on the back of the jackets and matching ruck-sacks. Skipp was a late replacement for Yves Bissouma, who had felt an injury in the warm-up. Skipp did not make the match-day 23 that night but he drank in the experience, filing it away for when he would start a major Champions League tie for Spurs. At the same time, the manager declared his faith in the inexperienced duo. The pair had started together only once previously – against League One Portsmouth in the FA Cup on 7 January – and even that was not supposed to happen. And so Mauricio Pochettino and his players would be treated to the most unusual of sights. The 18-year-old hopeful was bang in the middle of his A-Level exams.

The president of Barça, Joan Laporta, has always expressed his desire to bring him back, but he also knows that it is a very complicated operation and that it would depend on the club's ability to convince Leo of their sporting project, not so much on the financial side. He has had an offer on the table from PSG for months which he promised to respond to after the World Cup, but it is mid-February and he still hasn't done so. Precisely this desire to win the Champions League for the last time and the problems that the PSG project has to achieve it are the elements that make Messi doubt about his future.

When do PSG face Bayern Munich in the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie after they were beaten 1-0 on home soil.
Since the turn of the new year; Lens, Rennes, and Monaco have all beaten the current Ligue 1 leaders, while Marseille dumped them out of the Coupe de France. Nevertheless, there are questions over whether Christophe Galtier will still be in charge by the time 8 March rolls around. A complex possession structure allowed Bayern to control large swathes of Tuesday's contest and they grabbed the winner early on in the second half through Kingsley Coman.

It was good for me at the start because then that’s a lot for a young player – this was in 2018 and 2019. It was a great time and I think it helped both of us significantly in terms of our development.’ At the same time, it was also a good fit for my development. We were the faces of the club, so to speak, or the poster boys, because of our age. In addition to being international team-mates, Havertz and Brandt came through the ranks at Bayer Leverkusen a couple of years apart, before starring together in the senior side. And then there’s the friendship aspect too, and if that works then the understanding on the pitch is probably all the better.

Mbappe has endured a frustrating few months for club and country. However, the clash against Bayern came just two weeks after that injury – and the strike made an appearance from the bench.
