'It's very sad for him': Christophe Galtier laments Neymar's injury ahead of PSG's second leg clash against Bayern Munich in UCL R16 tie

Paris Saint-Germain head coach Christophe Galtier faced the media ahead of his side's second-leg match against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.

Qatar-backed PSG is still waiting to win its first Champions League title and is in danger of another disappointing exit from the competition, following a 1-0 defeat in the first leg in Paris.

Galtier admitted that PSG need to "play better and more aggressively" in the second leg in Munich, although they will be hampered by the absence of star player Neymar who is out for the rest of the reason with an ankle injury.

"I've heard all the talk about Neymar. It's very sad for him that he is injured, badly injured. This is a handicap for the whole team because he has scored 17 goals and been so good assisting other players. Is it better without him? Of course not. His injury is serious. He has always been very professional with the club but he's had a difficult time since the World Cup. But, I repeat, he has scored 17 goals. Is the team better balanced without him, is the team more balanced without him? Perhaps yes, without his midfield profile. But is it better? the answer is no. because it's always an advantage to have Neymar in your team to score more goals."
