Overview
- Luis Díaz scored twice in the first half before referee Maurizio Mariani upgraded an initial yellow to a straight red after a VAR review for his tackle on Achraf Hakimi.
- PSG later confirmed Hakimi suffered a syndesmosis tear with deltoid ligament damage, with reports indicating an absence of around eight weeks.
- Díaz posted a message expressing regret and wishing Hakimi a swift return, as Bayern figures, including Vincent Kompany and Joshua Kimmich, voiced support for the forward.
- Toni Kroos criticized the decision, arguing the referee judged the consequences rather than the action and warning that slow‑motion replays can distort such incidents.
- Bayern’s victory extended Vincent Kompany’s winning run to 16 matches across competitions, and Díaz is reported to be suspended for the upcoming match against Arsenal.
