Henry admitted he was a little shaken to see PSG performing the way they have recently because it's not what many would like to see from the French side.

He reiterated that it was a matter of having desire when playing and that while individuals helped win games, structure made sure you didn't lose them.

Prior to the defeat against Monaco, PSG were dumped out of the French Cup by Olympique de Marseille.

The French champions have been plagued by injuries to key players the past few games but will have their front three fit for the Bayern game.

As noted by GFNF, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe have both returned to training ahead of the big clash.

Sane speaks about PSG trio

Leroy Sane has opened up on coming face-to-face with PSG's much-vaunted attacking trident of Messi, Mbappe and Neymar.

The ex-Manchester City player will be one of the key men Bayern Munich will be banking their hopes on when they play as guests in the UCL round-of-16 tie.

Ahead of the Bavarians' blockbuster last-16 clash, Sane spoke about matching up against the PSG trio, Sports Brief reported.

Mbappe returns to training

Sports Brief also reported on Mbappe giving PSG a huge boost ahead of their game against Bayern Munich.

The Frenchman suffered a hamstring injury in a Ligue 1 game in early February and was initially ruled out of the tie.

The 24-year-old had missed PSG’s Ligue 1 defeat to Monaco last weekend, but he is expected fit enough to face Bayern.
