Lionel Messi is focused on the the big game ahead this week, against Bayern Munich.

It is not the most pleasant moment for Paris Saint-Germain, as there is a tense atmosphere in the Parisian team. Bayern Munich is already waiting for the UEFA Champions League qualifying round, shortly before playing, they are already heating up the game.

Lionel Messi once again showed the version he had at PSG before the World Cup in Qatar. He has three goals in the last three games and has a great relationship with Kylian Mbappé. However, he still encounters resistance from the Parisian ultras, who accuse him of only walking. In this context, the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) gave a lesson to the most radical fans of the Ligue 1 champion.

The captain of the Argentine team does not stop standing out in Ligue 1. Against Nantes, he was once again decisive and contributed with a goal in the victory that consolidated the team led by Christophe Galtier in first place. However, his relationship with the ultras remains tense and supporters hope that he will not renew his contract for another year, despite the fact that the board hopes to confirm Leo's continuity until 2024.

PSG will play the season in Germany, when they visit Bayern Munich, in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. The first leg ended in favor of the Teutons (1-0), in the Parc des Princes and now the Parisians will seek to turn the series around. In this context, a player from the Teutonic giant belittled Lionel Messi and his company.

Leon Goretzka, Bayern Munich midfielder, referred to what will be the match against PSG, to be played on March 8 at the Allianz Arena. Although he maintained that the team led by Christophe Galtier is complicated, he maintained that he is confident that the Bundesliga champion will reach the top eight in the most important competition at club level.

In dialogue with 'Sport 1', the Bavarian element commented: “Wednesday is about giving everything against PSG to qualify. We are going to play against a great team, but I am 100% convinced that we will advance”. Bayern Munich was PSG's beast noire in the 2020 Champions League. In that edition, the Parisians managed to reach their first international final and fell to the Germans.

Lionel Messi and the negative record against Bayern Munich:

The top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) has recorded seven games played against Bayern Munich, all with the Barcelona shirt. The 'Flea' has a negative balance of two wins, one draw and four losses. The only times that the Argentine beat the Germans, in the end he ended up being champion of the Champions League. Leo's worst defeat against the Teutons was in 2020, when Bayern beat the Catalans 8-2.
