Galtier reacts to the deficit and now brings the battered superstar Mbappé. Fabián Ruiz also comes onto the field. Carlos Soler and Zaire-Emery meanwhile call it a day.

With the lead behind you, it’s all the easier for the German record champions, who are still very patient. The pressure is now on the capitals.

Tooor for Bayern Munich, 0:1 by Kingsley Coman
Just as the Parisians are doing a little more for the game, the crucial gap opens up for Bayern to take a 1-0 lead. It is the substitute Davies who provides the decisive template. From the left wing, the cross lands at the free Coman, who takes the cross directly at the second post. The flat right-footed shot is powerful, but very central to the goal, where Donnarumma is in a bad position and can no longer prevent the impact. The conclusion really wasn’t unbearable.
50
22:11
PSG are now playing like a substitute. Suddenly the capitals have a lot of speed and train to the opposing goal. Zaire-Emery tanks forward via the right and then looks for Neymar at the first post. However, Upamecano is good and can clear the corner, which then fizzles out.
48
22:09
Nuno Mendes picks up pace on the left wing and the already cautioned Benjamin Pavard puts the Portuguese from behind. Not a hard foul, but the Frenchman is quite lucky not to be sent off the field here. That was a fine line to walk.
46
22:07
The teams come back onto the field and both coaches change for the first time during the break. At Bayern, Davies takes over for Cancelo. At PSG, Kimpembe comes on for Hakimi. Go on.

Kick-off 2nd half
45
21:51
Mid-term conclusion:
No gates on the Seine. At the break it was 0-0 between PSG and Bayern, who took charge right at the start of the game and fired the first warning shot after 29 seconds. The Rouge-et-Bleu were completely signed off without Mbappé and did not fire a single shot at the goal of the German record champions, who did score against low-lying Parisians, but mostly had to choose an attempt from a distance. There weren’t any big chances yet, but the Reds were much closer to scoring the first goal than the unsettled hosts, who hid for long stretches and clumsily waited for Munich to offer something.
45
21:49
No stoppage time displayed. So it’s just a matter of taking the free kick, which Messi takes over. However, the weak shot ends up in the wall. That’s it for round one.
45
21:47
De Ligt reaches five meters from his own penalty area from behind against Messi. That’s not enough for a card, but of course there is the dangerous free kick for the French.
43
21:46
The Reds create a really good chance but Donnarumma is there and holds the ball securely. Ramos clears a cross directly into Kimmich’s feet, who pulls powerfully from 18 meters to the bottom left corner. However, the PSG keeper is down in time and buries the ball under himself.
42
21:45
Verratti sends Neymar on his way with a through ball, but the previously unemployed summer is mentally up, comes out and clears in front of the Brazilian. But then the flag on the side also goes up. Neymar supposedly started from an offside position.
40
21:42
The game splashes towards the break and the Rouge-et-Bleu can now fall deep again. Although Bayern are on the trigger, they avoid unpacking the crowbar.
37
21:39
Messi picks up speed and dribbles past Musiala and Cancelo. But then Kimmich came rushing up and separated the world champion fairly from the ball.
34
21:36
Coman fakes a cross from the left corner of the penalty area and then pulls powerfully into the near corner with his right. This shot, however, just misses. Goal kick Paris Saint Germain.
33
21:35
Messi has space in the center and sends Verratti, who only fits back to Zaire-Emery. Up to now, the Rouge-et-Bleu have played with the handbrake on.
30
21:33
Coman finds Choupo-Moting at the back post with a cross from the left, who can pull away behind Nuno Mendes. However, his header from six meters just misses the Paris goal on the right.
30
21:31
Hakimi puts Musiala just in front of his own penalty area, which brings Munich a promising free kick from 18 meters inside the left position. Kimmich tries it directly, but Danilo jumps high enough in the wall and clears the corner with his head, which then brings nothing further.
28
21:30
Bayern work out a corner that Kimmich puts on the back post. There, Marquinhos clears Coman with his head, who is looking for a direct shot from 17 meters. The left shot, however, goes well over it.
26
21:28
Yellow card for Benjamin Pavard (Bayern Munich)
Pavard clears Neymar in the center from behind. That earned him the first yellow card of the game.
25
21:27
Kimmich chips the leather from the center into Coman’s run, who doesn’t hit the ball properly when he takes it directly from twelve meters on the half-left position. The bounce comes straight at Donnarumma, who grabs it safely.
23
21:25
Kimmich pulls a free-kick from the right half-field up into the Paris penalty area, but Donnarumma comes out at the right moment and clears with a fist defence. The first really good chance of the game is still a long time coming.
21
21:24
Neymar goes into the box on the left but Pavard and Upamecano join forces to take the Brazilian down, who takes an elbow check to the jaw and goes down and stays down for a while. After a short break, however, the game can be continued without a break in treatment.
18
21:20
Ramos clears a sharp Coman cross a little too optimistically not to the corner, but to the front, where Cancelo can fix the second ball. However, neither he nor Pavard find the gap. Except for Messi and Neymar, who lurk up front for counterattacks, all other PSG players defend very deeply.
16
21:18
Messi takes Soler with him, but he has no passing station and wants to pass the leather back to Messi. De Ligt anticipates the situation perfectly, throws himself in between and intercepts the pass. The reds don’t let anything burn in the back either.
13.
21:16
Although FCB are the more active team overall, they find it difficult to create a really compelling situation. The Rouge-et-Bleu have been very stable defensively so far and offer little.
10
21:12
Choupo-Moting puts Musiala through, but Sergio Ramos is wide awake and sends Musiala off the ball with a fair tackle.
8th.
21:11
Messi fixes the ball in the center and sends youngster Zaire-Emery over the right. The 16-year-old then plays a strong pass into Neymar’s run, which, however, can be challenged by Cancelo in a running duel.
6.
21:08
Five minutes are played and PSG is having a hard time against the German record champions. The first foray into the opposing half of the game by Danilo is immediately stopped by the attentive Munich team.
3.
21:06
The Munich set the tone in the first few minutes. Paris is directly challenged defensively. João Cancelo has space on the right wing but then takes the steep cross into Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s run too sharply. The ball lands in goal.
1.
21:03
The game is just 29 seconds old when Bayern shoot at the opposing goal for the first time. Ex-PSG player Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting conquers the ball on the opponent’s sixteen and then pulls it straight from 18 meters. The right-footed shot, however, misses the Rouge-et-Bleu goal just to the right.
1.
21:02
The ball rolls on the Seine. PSG competes in the usual dark blue. The guests from the Isar are dressed all in red. Here we go.
20:34
With Bayern, the Champions League team in the best form comes to the Parc des Princes today. The Reds have lost just two of their 37 Champions League games since the start of the 2019/20 season. In addition, FCB has the highest win rate (86.5%) and most games won (32) during this period.
20:28
Incidentally, said 0-1 home defeat of Rouge-et-Bleu against FC Bayern was the only one of the last 32 Champions League home games of the French in which PSG did not score at least one goal. On average, the Parisians scored 2.6 goals per home game in the premier class.
20:22
There have been a total of eleven competitive games between the two teams so far and Paris Saint-Germain leads the direct comparison with six wins. This is offset by five games won by Munich, who also won the last duel in the quarter-finals of the 2020/21 season in the Parc des Princes 1-0. However, there has never been a draw between the two clubs.
20:16
After the safe 3-0 home win over VfL Bochum on Saturday, FCB coach Julian Nagelsmann is making some changes to his starting lineup today: Joshua Kimmich and Kingsley Coman are replacing Thomas Müller and Serge Gnabry (both on the bench). So two changes at the German record champions.
20:10
FC Bayern Munich only drew in the first three league games of the new year, which reduced their lead in the Bundesliga to one point. The last three competitive games, on the other hand, were won again confidently. In total, the German record champions have gone 19 competitive games in a row without defeat (15 wins, four draws).
20:04
PSG coach Christophe Galtier changed his starting XI to five positions compared to the defeat in Monaco, in which numerous regular players were rested: Sergio play for Juan Bernat, Vitinha, Hugo Ekitike, Timothée Pembélé and El Chadaïlle Bitshiabu (all five benches). Ramos, Achraf Hakimi, Marco Verratti, Nuno Mendes and Lionel Messi from the start.
19:58
Paris Saint-Germain recently lost two competitive games in a row in the absence of the injured superstar Kylian Mbappé, who is on the bench tonight. The Coupe de France drew 2-1 at Olympique Marseille before Saturday’s dress rehearsal saw a 3-1 defeat at AS Monaco. The hope is correspondingly high that Mbappé, who was involved in 57 goals in 50 Champions League games (34 goals, 23 assists), can at least be substituted on today.
19:52
While Bayern won all six group games, PSG finished second in Group H with 14 out of a possible 18 points. In a direct comparison with group winners Benfica Lisbon, the decisive factor was the number of away goals scored. Thus, early in the tournament, two national champions are facing each other, who are currently leading the national table. It is also the new edition of the 2020 final, which Munich won 1-0.
19:46
Good evening and welcome from the Parc des Princes. The first leg of the Champions League round of 16 between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich will take place here tonight. Kick-off is at 21:00.
