"The German Champions hit the ground running on Tuesday and took the lead just four minutes into the game when Luiz Diaz fired in from 12 yards after Michael Olise's initial attempt was blocked by the goalkeeper. The Colombian international seemed intent on being the one-man wrecking crew that would bring down the French capital when, just past the half-hour mark, he nicked the ball off PSG's captain, Marquinhos, to smash home his and Bayern's second goal on the night."
"With the home team attempting to lay siege to the Bayern goal in the second half, Manuel Neuer recorded an amazing 59 touches and covered 6.3 km. In doing so, the 39-year-old goalkeeper was near invincible on Tuesday night. Neuer made eight saves against PSG. In the first half, he denied Bradley Barcola an equalizer from just meters out. Although Neuer was beaten once after the half-time interval, he stood tall and made himself big on numerous occasions and superbly marshalled his defensive troops."
Bayern Munich opened scoring in the fourth minute when Luiz Diaz converted from 12 yards after Michael Olise's initial attempt was blocked. Diaz doubled the lead after thirty minutes by nicking the ball from Marquinhos and finishing to make it 2-0. In first-half stoppage time Diaz received a red card for a reckless challenge on Achraf Hakimi, reducing Bayern to ten men for the entire second half. Paris Saint-Germain pressed heavily after the interval and scored once, but Bayern held on for a 2-1 victory. Manuel Neuer recorded eight saves, covered 6.3 km, and executed two sweeper-keeper interventions to preserve the win.
