Choupo Moting mocked in Paris essential at Bayern what becomes of

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting returns to the Parc des Princes for the second time since leaving PSG in 2020. The Cameroonian striker, sometimes criticized in Paris, has found stability in Germany where he is appreciated.

This Tuesday, February 14, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting will find on the occasion of the knockout stages of the Champions League his former teammates from PSG with whom he shared two seasons. Today in Germany, the 33-year-old Cameroonian striker seems totally fulfilled by playing more and scoring more. This former Parisian could play spoilsport at the Parc des Princes.

A taste of unfinished

Often judged not at the level at PSG, criticized and sometimes awkward as during a match against Strasbourg in April 2019, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting did not mark the history of the club. However, he managed a few shattering blows, especially during this 2020 European campaign where the Parisians reached the Champions League final. In the quarter-finals, the striker was decisive against Atalanta Bergamo (2-1). In vain finally, since the Bayern Munich, won 1-0 in the final. Finalist and double Champion of France, Choupo-Moting has played in two seasons only 31 games with 6 goals. Insufficient for PSG standards.

Choupo-Moting, valuable at Bayern

Arrived in the wake of his lost final against Bayern precisely, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting was first Robert Lewandowski’s understudy. Transferred to FC Barcelona, ​​the Bavarians filled this departure with Sadio Mané, injured before the 2022 World Cup. Bayern’s number 13 took advantage of his opportunities to prove useful to Julian Nagelsmann. Since September 17, he has, for example, taken part in 23 of the last 25 matches played by the Munich players. With PSG he had also scored 6 goals in two seasons. This year, his counter stands at 7 goals. The providential man could very well become Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, already a scorer in the two confrontations between PSG and Bayern in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in 2021.
