Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier wants his players to stay quiet and work hard ahead of their Champions League Round of 16 second-leg tie against Bayern Munich.

“We are silent and we are working. There is a great disappointment after the defeat of Bayern but there is still a second leg.
“We can hope that with a full and fit squad, we have something to argue about in the second leg. In a difficult time, you have to shut up, work and enjoy being together.”

PSG were knocked out in the round of 16 last season by Real Madrid and will seek to avoid the same fate when they tackle Julian Nagelsmann’s team again.

Galtier at risk of PSG sack

Meanwhile, Christophe Galtier has reportedly seen his position as PSG manager come under threat following a dropoff in form for the French champions, Sports Mole reports.

The French giants have been knocked out of the Coupe de France by Marseille, while also losing the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie to Bayern Munich.

PSG's owners have not yet discussed firing Galtier, but they will consider a change in management if results do not improve in the next few weeks.

Galtier hopeful of turning around Bayern loss

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Christophe Galtier said he was hopeful his side could still qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League despite losing 1-0 at home to Bayern Munich.

Kingsley Coman scored the only goal of the game in Paris against his former club, finishing from an Alphonso Davies cross eight minutes into the second half.

PSG struggled for long stretches but improved towards the end after Kylian Mbappe came off the bench on his return from a thigh injury and added pace and direction to the Parisian attack.
