Cash-rich PSG is desperate to win the Champions League for the first time, while also bidding to avoid a second straight elimination in the last 16 after last season's humiliating defeat by Real Madrid.

And now, facing Bayern Munich, Neymar wanted to reassure fans about their commitment to win the tournament, saying that they are "not here for a walk, but to win the Champions League".

Tensions have been running high at PSG after successive defeats to Marseille in the French Cup and to Monaco in the league on Saturday.

PSG's 3-1 loss to Monaco was its fourth defeat in 10 games and the loss would have been far heavier if not for goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Sporting director Luis Campos was reportedly so angered by the abject performance that he argued with Neymar and captain Marquinhos later.
