Poor first half hour for PSG, great Donnarumma and disallowed goal. Bayern take a one-goal lead into the return leg

Paris failed to win their Champions League semi-final home game, losing 0:1 to Bayern. The team suffered from a very passive performance in the first half and was better only in the last 20 minutes. Kingsley Coman scored the only goal.

Bayern opened the match actively, in the first minute Cameroonian striker Eric Choupo Moting shot inaccurately. The visitors didn’t capitalise on a good first ten minutes, after which the Parisians gradually started to get into the game.

However, there were no chances to be seen, the game was played around the whitewash, or rather the last third of the pitch for Paris. In the 26th minute, Jamal Musiala got into the hexagon, but Sergio Ramos got to him in time and knocked the ball away for a corner.

The biggest danger of the first half came in the 43rd minute when Gianluigi Donnarumma caught a Joshua Kimmich shot. In stoppage time, Lionel Messi hit the wall from a direct kick.

The home side were more active after the change of sides, but Kingsley Coman was given plenty of space at the back post after the opening five minutes. Alphonso Davies found him with a superb centre and the French striker ripped into the net from a volley.

A recovered Kylian Mbappé then took to the field, but it was Bayern who were angry again. In the 62nd minute, Moting fired acrobatically, but Donnarumma succeeded this time. And a minute later, the Cameroon international hit the bar.

Bayern’s good passage of play was rounded off by an excellent save from Donnarumma against Benjamin Pavard’s header. In the 74th minute, Yann Sommer, with the help of the defenders, survived PSG’s three-chances, while Mbappé’s fourth finished in the net, but from an offside position.

Six minutes later, Mbappé appeared to have struck from a regular position, but VAR revealed a close offside. Portugal’s Vitinha then headed into the middle from a good position. In the end, Bayern held on despite the sending off of Pavard and took a one-goal lead into the home rematch.
