PSG didn’t score in Munich rematch, Bayern advance to Champions League quarter-finals after 2-0 win

Paris Saint-Germain faced a tough task in the Champions League semi-final rematch, losing 0:1 to Bayern in the first leg at the Parc des Princes. However, the Parisian team, who had to do without the injured Neymar, did not score any goals at the Allianz Arena. After a 2-0 win at home, Munich’s big club celebrates its promotion to the top eight in Europe.

After an even and rather cautious opening, the 25th minute saw an interesting short scrimmage in the Bayern penalty area. It featured Messi in the lead role, who was unable to get the ball into the net thanks to an intervention by goalkeeper Yann Sommer.

In the 32nd minute, Musiala sent in a dangerous cross from an angle on the other side. However, goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma dealt with it. Four minutes later, PSG suffered a setback when Marquinhos had to leave the field due to a rib injury. The Brazilian defender was replaced by Mukiele.

Moments later, the visitors came close to scoring. After Sommer’s hesitation, Vitinha finished into an almost uncovered net, but De Ligt turned the ball away just before the goal line to safety.

During the half-time break, the French team made another change to their line-up. Nordi Mukiele was reportedly injured during his short time on the pitch, and 17-year-old Bitshiabu had to come on instead.

52. a minute brought the home side a goal, but it didn’t last long. Choupo-Moting’s change of score was called back by referee Orsato in conjunction with VAR due to offside.

In the 61st minute, Bayern led 1:0. Verratti took the ball in a dangerous area, Goretzka passed it to Eric Maxime Choupo-Moting in the penalty area and he was able to celebrate fully this time thanks to his accurate shot.

For example, in the 82nd minute, the Parisians’ attacking efforts resulted in a chance for Ramos, whose header after a corner kick ended just wide of the left post. Serge Gnabry then made the final decision just before the end of normal time with a quick strike. Mané also missed his goal in stoppage time due to offside.

For the second time in a row, PSG are now in the eighth round of the most prestigious club competition. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, can continue to strive for the “Eared Cup”, which they have won six times in the past.
