Paris Saint-Germain 'not a proper team' – Owen Hargreaves after Bayern Munich net Champions League first-leg win

Owen Hargreaves has claimed PSG are “not a proper team” after their latest miserable European outing saw Bayern Munich leave Parc des Princes with 1-0 win in their Champions League last 16 first leg. PSG were boosted by the return of Lionel Messi from a hamstring injury as the Argentine joined Neymar upfront in a 4-4-2 system, but the French champions were second best – certainly in the opening 75 minutes – as Kinsley Coman returned to haunt them once more.

Bayern Munich beat PSG in Champions League last-16 first leg

Born in Paris and raised at PSG, Coman scored the only goal when Bayern beat the French side in the 2020 Champions League final and he was again the sole scorer as the German champions put one foot into the quarter-finals.

PSG season defined by Champions League clashes vs. Bayern

Timing is everything, as the cliché goes, and for PSG, there has never been a better time for them this season. There's never been a better time for them to finally play as a team, to finally react, turn up and perform to their expected best. There's never been a better time for this squad to find the cohesion and the balance required at this level. For Neymar to respond to his (many) critics. For the fans to believe again that this squad can go all the way in this Champions League campaign. The list goes on.
