Asked before the controversy on the hypothesis that Messi could be whistled by the Park, ten days after the new European failure, coach Christophe Galtier had replied: “But no! They have no reason to whistle our players, they have given the maximum in this competition. We were not eliminated because of such or such but because Bayern Munich arrived in better shape than us in this double confrontation (0-1/0-2 )”.
