Bayern Beat Holders PSG 2-1 as Díaz Scores Twice Then Sees Red

Bayern must plan without Luis Díaz in Europe after a VAR-upgraded red card.

Overview

  • The win made it 16 in a row and left Bayern top on 12 points, with PSG third and three points back.
  • Referee Maurizio Mariani upgraded Díaz’s first-half caution to a red after VAR review, which triggers a suspension for at least the next European match.
  • PSG lost Ousmane Dembélé and Achraf Hakimi to first-half injuries and will learn the extent after medical tests, according to Luis Enrique.
  • Manuel Neuer produced multiple crucial saves, earned UEFA’s player-of-the-match honor, and helped Bayern finish the match with 10 men.
  • Bayern filed a protest to UEFA over what the club called unacceptable pre-match restrictions imposed on their supporters by French police.
