Paris Saint Germain 1-2 FC Bayern München Post-Match Review
In a gripping Champions League encounter, FC Bayern München secured a 2-1 victory over Paris Saint Germain at the Parc des Princes. The German side, coming off a convincing 4-0 win against Club Brugge, continued their strong form by scoring early through goals in the 4th and 32nd minutes. Despite PSG’s late response in the 74th minute, Bayern held firm to extend their winning streak. The result was somewhat surprising given PSG’s dominant 7-2 victory in their previous match, but Bayern’s clinical finishing and defensive resilience proved decisive.
PSG, despite their loss, showed moments of brilliance, particularly in the second half. The home side’s recent form had been impressive, yet Bayern’s tactical discipline and early lead disrupted their rhythm. Key players like Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia tried to spark a comeback, but Bayern’s defense, led by Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano, stood tall. This defeat ends PSG’s run of victories and poses questions about their defensive stability moving forward.
Paris Saint Germain 1-2 FC Bayern München Statistics
The statistics from the match paint a picture of PSG’s dominance in possession, holding 71% of the ball compared to Bayern’s 29%. PSG also had a significant edge in corners, with 9 to Bayern’s 1, indicating their control over the game’s tempo. However, Bayern’s efficiency in front of goal and their higher successful dribble percentage (40% vs PSG’s 33%) highlight their effectiveness in crucial moments. Despite PSG’s statistical superiority, Bayern’s disciplined approach and fewer yellow cards (3 vs PSG’s 1) suggest a more controlled performance overall.
Key Moments from Paris Saint Germain 1-2 FC Bayern München
The match’s pivotal moments came early with Bayern scoring in the 4th and 32nd minutes, setting the tone for the rest of the game. These early goals by Bayern put PSG on the back foot, forcing them to chase the game. PSG’s response came late in the 74th minute, but it was not enough to overturn the deficit. These key moments underscore Bayern’s clinical approach and PSG’s struggle to break down a well-organized defense.

Paris Saint Germain
Paris Saint Germain lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Lucas Chevalier in goal and a backline of Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, and Nuno Mendes. The midfield trio of Warren Zaïre-Emery, Vitinha, and Fabián Ruiz provided a solid base, while Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembélé, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia led the attack.
