Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier remains hopeful that his side can overturn their one goal deficit against Bayern Minch and qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

“It might seem a banal thing to say but tonight nobody is through and nobody is out. I am daring to hope that we will be fresher in three weeks and if we can play the way we played in the last 25 to 30 minutes then we can beat Bayern,” said Galtier.

Kingsley Coman scored the game’s only goal against his old team in Paris. He finished off a cross from Alphonso Davies eight minutes into the second half.

PSG was bad for a long time, but they got better when Kylian Mbappe came off the bench after being hurt in the thigh and gave the Parisian attack speed and direction.

Mbappe had two goals ruled out because he was offside. His second goal, which came eight minutes from the end off a pass from Nuno Mendes, was ruled out because of a very close call.

“The return leg will be in three weeks so we can hopefully get more players back for then and be fresher,” added Galtier, who had to contend with Morocco right-back Achraf Hakimi coming off hurt at half-time.

“We can’t say how long he will be out. Achraf had an intense World Cup where he played on through the pain and it was already difficult at Monaco (a 3-1 defeat on Saturday) where he couldn’t start,” he said.

“We took the risk this time but he developed a muscle problem early on.

“Unfortunately we conceded just as we were preparing for Kylian to come on. 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 at the Allianz Arena on March 8.
