Hansi Flick does not expect there to be any lasting effects of last바카라 웹사이트season's Champions League final in either the Bayern Munich or Paris바카라 웹사이트Saint-Germain camps ahead of their quarter-final tie. (More Football News)
Former PSG winger Kingsley Coman grabbed the only goal in August's delayed final in Portugal to deny the Ligue 1 giants their first바카라 웹사이트European crown. It was the only time in 43 Champions League바카라 웹사이트games PSG have failed to score.
They will get their chance for revenge this year as Bayern again lie바카라 웹사이트in their way in the last eight, the German, European and world바카라 웹사이트champions hosting the sides' 10th meeting in the competition in바카라 웹사이트Wednesday's first leg.
But Bayern coach Flick, still unbeaten in the Champions League and바카라 웹사이트looking to extend his team's undefeated run to 20 matches,바카라 웹사이트considers this a whole new challenge against Mauricio Pochettino's바카라 웹사이트men.
"I don't know how the opposition feel, but we don't find [the final]바카라 웹사이트relevant," Flick told a news conference. "It's a new game, a new바카라 웹사이트team, Paris have a new coach, so it's a whole new situation.
"We're in the Champions League quarter-finals and we want to make바카라 웹사이트it to the semi-finals, so we have to be very concentrated in both바카라 웹사이트games. That's our aim and that's our job."
Mauricio Pochettino also believes that PSG's latest encounter with바카라 웹사이트Bayern Munich will not be a revenge mission. Since last season's바카라 웹사이트final, Pochettino has succeeded Thomas Tuchel as head coach, and바카라 웹사이트as such, he views the quarter-final first-leg encounter at the Allianz바카라 웹사이트Arena with a certain level of detachment.
"No, it's not a benchmark match for us," Pochettino told a pre-match news conference. "We weren't there with my staff, we were바카라 웹사이트just spectators. In addition, it's over two matches that it's going to바카라 웹사이트be played, the context is different...Sporting revenge still exists, but바카라 웹사이트for us it's more of a challenge to beat such a strong team, maybe바카라 웹사이트the best in the world."
Bayern's forward line will lack their injured talisman Robert바카라 웹사이트Lewandowski, while Serge Gnabry is also set to miss the tie after testing positive for coronavirus. But PSG will have their main men --바카라 웹사이트in Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
Head-to-head: This will their 10th meeting in UEFA Champions바카라 웹사이트League with the French side leading the head-to-head record 5-4.
