""We didn't do well at all in the first half. We were late on the second balls, made many decisions and lost the ball a lot. We allowed the opponent to get into the game and they had a big chance, which Manu saved. The second half was more like what we had imagined,""
""On the one hand, that can be an advantage. On the other hand, Paris went through the playoffs last season and won the Champions League. You can never know which one is the best path. But, of course, two fewer games will help us as far as the body is concerned.""
Bayern Munich struggled in the first half, arriving late to second balls, making poor decisions and losing possession, which allowed Union Saint-Gilloise a major chance saved by Manuel Neuer. The team improved in the second half and secured a 2-0 victory that also clinched a Champions League round-of-16 bye. The bye reduces two fixtures, which can aid player recovery and squad fitness amid numerous injuries on the backline. Additional downtime will help injured players regain health and allow staff to better manage workloads and rotation choices moving forward.
