Bayern Beat PSG 2-1 at Parc des Princes

Strengthening Bayern's bid for a top-four Champions League group finish, the victory also supplies momentum ahead of Saturday's Bundesliga trip to Wolfsburg.

Overview

  • Bayern won 2-1 in Paris on Wednesday after an own goal by PSG goalkeeper Katarzyna Kiedrzynek in the 29th minute and a Klara Bühl strike in the 40th minute.
  • Pernille Harder created both opening goals with a brilliant solo that led to the own goal and an assist for Bühl, and PSG cut the deficit when Paulina Dudek converted a penalty after a Linda Dallmann handball in the 64th minute.
  • Bayern withstood a late PSG offensive to preserve the win, a defensive showing players described as evidence of the squad's growing maturity and resilience.
  • The result keeps Bayern unbeaten this season and moves them closer to a top-four finish in the group stage, which would secure direct qualification for the Champions League quarter-finals.
  • The team now travels to face VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday and will next play Champions League group matches at Austria Wien on Nov. 19 and at home against defending champions Barcelona on Dec. 16.
