PSG players appealed for a prior foul, but the referee waved it off.
In the second half, PSG started with high pressure and managed to push the game into Bayern’s half. However, the match shifted in the 56th minute when Ousmane Dembélé was sent off for a second yellow card. With a man down, PSG struggled to keep up with Bayern, who regained control of the game. Bayern came close to doubling their lead, with Musiala hitting the post in the 74th minute and Müller and Gnabry also missing late chances.
Despite PSG’s efforts to find an equalizer, Bayern held firm and secured an important win. The match was a demonstration of Bayern's clinical finishing and defensive resilience at key moments. With this result, Bayern climbs to 12th place in the overall Champions League standings with nine points, while PSG drops to 25th place with just four points.
