"That's a South American double tackle. I've seen it so often with that intensity from behind, there's no arguing about it."
"[Díaz was] over-motivated. He jumps with both feet, can no longer control his movement. He catches him with his studs up, with high intensity - for me, a clear red card."
Bayern Munich won 2-1 away at Paris Saint-Germain in Matchday 4 of the UEFA Champions League, maintaining a 16th consecutive victory across competitions and remaining top of the group. Bayern played much of the match with ten men after winger Luis Díaz received a red card late in first-half stoppage time following a VAR review that upgraded an initial yellow. Díaz tackled Achraf Hakimi from behind, prompting criticism from Mats Hummels and Lutz Wagner who described the challenge as intense, uncontrolled, and deserving of a clear red. Bayern must await the length of any European suspension for Díaz. The match featured tactical selection debates, scoring and substitutions that influenced the game's flow.
