We are hours away from a mouth-watering Champions League last 16 second leg between Bayern Munich and PSG, with Les Parisiens hoping to overturn their one-goal deficit and all eyes on their mercurial all-time record goalscorer Kylian Mbappé (24). And French football legend Thierry Henry is particularly looking forward to it. Speaking as a pundit for the CBS Sports Golazo TV show, the former Arsenal man is eager to see what Bayern Munich head coach Julian Nagelsmann has in mind to thwart and frustrate the Paris-born forward. “I just want to see what, tactically, Bayern Munich is going to do. That’s what I wanna see, how they’re gonna stop the ‘big man’“, Henry said.
“Kylian is back!”

Henry also seemed to have heaped praises on PSG head coach Christophe Galtier for finding the right formula in the wake of Neymar’s (31) injury. With the Brazilian a notable absentee, PSG have fielded a counter-attacking-driven 5-3-2 formation, with Lionel Messi (35) and Mbappé as the only attack-minded players. “This 5-3-2 is not bad at all, when they [PSG] play like that“, assessed Henry.
