PSG CANNOT pose a threat to Bayern in the Champions League last-16 if Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe all play, claims Didi Hamann as the attacking trio 'do not work' - but the German wants his former side to avoid Chelsea and Atletico Madrid

Former Bayern Munich midfielder Didi Hamann has claimed Paris Saint-Germain cannot pose a threat to his former side in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Bayern Munich breezed through the group stage, winning all their games and defeating Spanish giants Barcelona in their final game to top Group E.

Hamann believes the Bundesliga outfit will face a tougher challenge in the knockout stages and he wants them to avoid coming up against the reigning champions Chelsea and last season's LaLiga winners Atletico Madrid.
