Paris Saint-Germain‘s 1-0loss to Bayernin the first leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 on Tuesday may have been worsened by the premature return of Kylian Mbappe.The French forward sustained a thigh injury on February 1 and was expected to miss three weeks of action.

Nonetheless, the attacker was unexpectedly included in Christophe Galtier’s squad only 13 days later and made his debut off the bench at the Parc des Princes. During a difficult night for the French champions, Mbappe had a goal he scored called out due to offside as Kingsley Coman scored for his new team against the one he used to play for.

As a result, the Bavarian visitors, despite playing with just 10 players, won the first leg of their last 16 matchups at the Parc des Princes. Meanwhile, Christophe Galtier’splayers’recent play has been shaky, as seen by their third straight defeatin all competitions.
