“It may sound like a trite thing to say but tonight there’s nobody in and nobody’s out. I’m daring to expect that we’ll be fresh in three weeks and if we can get past the last 25 to 30 minutes If we can play the way I played, we can beat Bayern,” Gaultier said.
Kingsley Coman scored the only goal of the game against his former club in Paris, finishing off an Alphonso Davies cross eight minutes into the second half.
PSG were poor for a long spell but finally improved after Kylian Mbappe returned from a thigh injury, coming off the bench and injecting pace and direction into Paris’ attack.
Mbappe twice had goals disallowed for offside, with his second effort only being disallowed due to an excessive marginal call eight minutes from the end for a Nuno Mendes cutback.
“The return leg will be in three weeks, so we can expect more players to come back and freshen up for that,” Galtier said.
We cannot say how long he will be out. Achraf’s was intense World Cup where he played despite the pain and it was already difficult in Monaco (the 3-1 loss on Saturday) where he could not start.”
“We took a risk this time but he had a muscle problem early on.
“Unfortunately we accepted as we were preparing for Kylian’s arrival. We had two or three chances and sadly it was not enough but the last half an hour gives us hope.”
The second leg will be played on March 8 at the Allianz Arena.
