​Bayern Munich star Muller highlights flaws in PSG duo Mbappe, Neymar

Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller has pointed out a weakness in the game of PSG stars Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.

The Frenchman was at his devastating best as PSG beat Bayern 3-2 at the Allianz Arena in the first leg of their Champions League quarter final.

Now Bayern must win away to progress into the semis, or surrender the chance to defend the title they won last season.

And Muller thinks Bayern will be helped by Neymar and Mbappe's lack of defence, but admitted it made them threats on the counter.

"With PSG, Neymar and Mbappe usually stay up front, they don't defend but they stay in a dangerous situation for a counter-attacking chance," Muller told reporters during a press conference, per the Daily Mirror.

Pressed on Mbappe's qualities, he added: "He is very dangerous. With our style of play, space will automatically be created. The defence will have an important task.

"You're never going to be able to keep them out of the game completely."
