Der Rekordmeister also opted for full attack in Paris and it paid off almost immediately: after just three minutes Michael Olise appeared alone in front of Lucas Chevalier. The PSG goalkeeper initially made a save, but the well-connected Diaz scored the rebound: 0-1.
Injury Ousmane Dembele
PSG struggled under the German pressure and also forgot to grab their few moments. Ousmane Dembélé scored from nowhere or with the chest, but did so from an offside position. To make matters worse, the Golden Ball winner was immediately taken off with an injury.
Bayern’s response? It didn’t take long to arrive. Serge Gnabry showed some leniency with a bang on the inside of the post, but when the experienced Marquinhos blundered the 0-2 was a fact. Diaz – him again – pulled the trigger.

Diaz is sent off the field
Yet it was not the perfect first half for Bayern. Just before half time, Bayern’s Colombian again claimed a leading role, albeit a negative one this time. After an unnecessary and nasty tackle, Diaz was sent off the field, victim Achraf Hakimi had to leave in tears and with a (serious) injury. A serious blemish on 45 minutes of Bayern college football.
Bayern was forced to take a different approach after the break. Two lines of four, with Harry Kane as the peg at the front. PSG got the ball, but find holes in the German defense? It proved to be a tough job for the Parisians for a long time.
Vitinha tried it from a distance, but goalkeeper Manuel Neuer did not budge. Fifteen minutes before the end, the German goalkeeper had to give in. Neves signed for the 1-2.
PSG smells blood
PSG smelled blood and came very close to an unexpected equalizer via a header from the same Neves. Bayern showed resilience and deservedly won the match based on the first half. 12 of 12 points won in the Champions League, sixteen victories in a row: who will stop this Bayern?
