Champions League: Lionel Messi uncertain for PSG – Bayern (media)

The sky never stops falling on the head of PSG. After losing Kylian Mbappé to a thigh injury, after seeing his confidence crumble over an ill-born 2023, Paris could now lose Lionel Messi for the Champions League round of 16 first leg against Bayern Munich. . Hit in the hamstrings against OM in the round of 16 of the Coupe du France, the Argentinian is forfeited for the trip to Monaco this weekend and uncertain for the reception of the Germans on February 14, according to information from L’Equipe .

His package would be a terrible blow for a team he has held on his shoulders for several weeks. Without Mbappé, the mission seemed much more complicated, but if Messi too had to pass, it would become almost impossible. If he has shown irregularity since his return from the World Cup, Messi was one of the few to survive in a moribund team, especially against Angers (2-0), Montpellier (3-1) and Toulouse ( 2-1).

2023 turns into a nightmare

In dire need of ideas and inspirations since Mbappé’s injury, Paris would have a hard time recovering from the absence of the one who remains, in 2023, his master to play. His potential absence would place PSG in front of its lack of solutions in attack and would make Hakim Ziyech regret even more the abortive loan.

Carlos Soler has not yet convinced, Renato Sanches is no longer coping with his injuries and PSG could end up paying for having concentrated their efforts on three men at the most critical moment of their season. He could only have Neymar left, weakened by an ankle abused during the World Cup and, today, far from his best level. The start of 2023 is definitely turning into a nightmare for PSG.
