Overview
- Bayern won 2-1 away to the reigning champions, with Luis Díaz scoring in the 4th and 32nd minutes before being sent off just before halftime for a foul on Achraf Hakimi.
- Reduced to ten for the entire second half, Bayern held firm through standout defending from Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano and assured goalkeeping by Manuel Neuer, drawing strong praise from pundits.
- The result moved Bayern to the top of the Champions League league-phase table and extended their perfect competitive-season start to 16 wins.
- Hakimi left on crutches in a protective boot and is initially expected to be out for an extended period, with PSG also losing Ousmane Dembélé to injury.
- The red card prompted public dispute, including Toni Kroos arguing it was not warranted, while Bayern now await the length of Díaz’s suspension with Arsenal next in the group.
