"Bayern Munich walked into Parc des Princes looking to establish itself as a legitimate contender for the Champions League. Sure, Bayern Munich has decimated every squad that has gotten in its way, even Club World Cup winner Chelsea. But beating Paris Saint-Germain - the reigning UCL titleholders - now, that would be something to behold and would instantly confirm the suspicion that Bayern Munich is an unstoppable force."
"Just four minutes into the match, Luis Díaz made his presence felt and sought to defeat the notion that his finishing has not been great. That quickly, Bayern Munich was up 1-0! Some sloppy play in the back end for PSG resulted in Kimmich initiating a quick counter-attack, Serge Gnabry sliding a nifty pass to Michael Olise, whose shot was stopped by Lucas Chevalier. The rebound went right to Díaz, who put it home."
Bayern Munich traveled to Parc des Princes aiming to assert itself as a Champions League contender and produced a nervy 2-1 victory. The match featured a breakneck first half and an early Luis Díaz goal from a quick counter after a Serge Gnabry pass and Michael Olise rebound. Ousmane Dembélé's 22nd-minute goal was ruled offside. The Ballon d'Or winner left injured and was replaced by Kang-in Lee. Vincent Kompany fielded an altered midfield and full-back setup with Konrad Laimer, Josip Stanišić, and Aleksandar Pavlović alongside Joshua Kimmich. Key saves and a later red card influenced the outcome.
