It was a groundbreaking game in which FC Bayern showed that they are a contender for the premier class title. The European press also comments on this.
FC Bayern first had a run against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. When double goalscorer Luis Díaz was sent off, the game took on a different character. Nevertheless, coach Vincent Kompany’s team prevailed 2-1 – and thus proved their claim to the title. The international press also comments on this.
“Le Figaro”: “Bayern are the boss. The 16th win in 16 games for Vincent Kompany’s side, who were beaten ten against eleven in the second half. The European champions, who were dominated by a stronger opponent in the first half before catching up strongly, lose more than just three points and the league lead.”
“L’Equipe”: “The meeting between PSG and Bayern on Tuesday at the Parc des Princes turned into torture for the Parisians. PSG was immediately overwhelmed by FC Bayern’s superiority, initially fell apart at the Parc des Princes and ultimately experienced a nightmare evening when Ousmane Dembélé and Achraf Hakimi had to leave the pitch injured one after the other.”
“Le Parisien:” “On Tuesday evening at the Parc des Princes, Europe’s champions lost their tactics and lost two more important players. What a lousy evening!”
“Marca:” “A very painful night in Paris. Bayern gritted their teeth and showed remarkable resilience. Bayern are the best team in Europe. They stormed the throne of PSG, which under Luis Enrique has never been as defeated as it was in the entire first half. Kompany has created a steamroller, a machine of destruction, which can also suffer.”
“Ace:” “The game was an ode to total football. An exciting battle. A duel that, if there were still any skeptics, confirmed that Bayern are a steamroller without a brake. All that was needed was to keep Europe’s champions at bay at home to become the new king – and that’s exactly what happened in the first half.”
“Daily Mail”: “From hero to failure! Former Liverpool star scores two goals before being sent off after a brutal foul that reduced the opponent to tears. Luis Díaz had an eventful first half in Bayern Munich’s Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night – with unforgettable moments followed by those you’d rather forget.”
