Leipzig (AP) - Coach Thomas Tuchel has highlighted the enormous importance of the game between Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig in the group stage of the Champions League.

«We have to win, we want to win.

For us this is a group final.

The team has to play bravely forward, ”said the German coach of the French champions on Monday.

PSG have to defeat Leipzig on Tuesday (9 p.m. / Sky) to have a realistic chance of progressing.

The first meeting three weeks ago, RB won 2-1.

Now, Tuchel can fall back on his two superstars Neymar and Kylian Mbappé.

“We need Kylian's goals.

I hope for a good performance.

He and Neymar will be crucial players, ”said Tuchel.

He took some pressure off the Brazilian international, who had to pause again and again due to a corona infection, a red card suspension and an injury.

"We absolutely need him, but he's not yet at 100 percent," said the 47-year-old.

"I hope that mentally he is coping well with the situation."
