PSG faced a daunting challenge, one of their biggest challenges of the past decade: to topple Bayern Munich and qualify for the quarter-finals after losing 0-1 in the first leg. Despite a conquering first period, the capital club ended up giving in after injuries, individual errors but also his Mbappé-Messi duo too little in sight. Twice punished by Bayern, Paris Saint-Germain failed again on the European stage. For the fifth time in the last seven editions, Marquinhos and his family stop in the round of 16.
Yet Christophe Galtier’s men started this meeting well by constantly looking for Kylian Mbappé in depth. The French striker also got the first chance of the game on the left side (2nd) but his shot was not powerful enough to worry Yann Sommer. Bayern are in no rush with their one-goal advantage. The formation of Julian Nagelsmann tries from afar like Leon Goretzka who manages to frame 20 meters but Donnarumma (16th) was vigilant about this situation.
The first very serious opportunity came from Lionel Messi: after a rush from Nuno Mendes, the Argentinian striker was in a good position (25th) but Alphonso Davies came back to him and managed to block his shot. However, PSG are not immune: uncertain before kick-off due to a rib injury, Marquinhos finally gives way to Mukiele (36th). Not enough to demotivate the troops of Christophe Galtier who have a good idea of Bayern. Hakimi also managed to thwart Yann Sommer but Vitinha did not take advantage of it behind: the Portuguese rushed and saw his too soft shot being saved on the line by Matthijs de Ligt (38th).
Ohhhh what an opportunity for Paris and what a rescue for De Ligt! ��
The 22 players return to the locker room with this scoreless draw, but the Parisian staff noted that Nordi Mukiele, replacing Marquinhos, is also diminished. At half-time the decision was made to take him out and throw 17-year-old El Chadaille Bitshiabu into the deep end. The young defender trained at PSG is playing his first match in the Champions League! With its physical glitches, the club from the capital is struggling to move forward and Bayern is more dangerous. The Bundesliga leader even thought he opened the scoring but Thomas Müller was flagged offside after deflecting a header from Choupo-Moting (52nd).
The former Paris Saint-Germain striker will have a new opportunity ten minutes later. On a loss of ball from Marco Verratti at the entrance to the Paris area, Goretzka recovers and transmits to the Cameroonian striker who easily deceives Donnarumma (1-0, 62nd). He scored his 17th goal of the season in all competitions. PSG tries to respond with a stop kick but Sommer masterfully diverts the head of Sergio Ramos from a corner (66th). Bayern take advantage of having more space on the counter to worry the Parisian team but Leroy Sané is too imprecise twice, first on a pass and then on a control.
5/6 – Five of Bayern Munich’s last six goals against Paris in the Champions League have been scored by players who previously played at PSG (3 for Choupo-Moting, 2 for Coman). ex.
The most dangerous man of this second period on the Parisian side is Sergio Ramos. On a new corner, the former Real Madrid defender is still found with a header but his attempt passes just next to Sommer’s right post (82nd). Mbappé and Messi were to carry their team but the duo was never in sight this Wednesday evening. Bayern will take the opportunity to take off thanks to their replacements. Launched ideally by Cancelo, Serge Gnabry does not tremble in front of Donnarumma and sends his team to the quarter-finals.
On the side of Paris Saint-Germain, the European record is once again overwhelming. Christophe Galtier could be in danger from his first season, just like the sporting director, Luis Campos. It will still be necessary to remobilize to secure the title in Ligue 1. The capital club currently has an eight-point lead over OM. A very meager consolation prize for supporters tired of the promises of greatness, proclaimed by their management.
