Bayern Beat PSG in Paris as Díaz Scores Twice Before VAR Red

The win came as the club challenged late Paris police restrictions that left traveling fans waiting overnight.

Overview

  • Luis Díaz struck in the 4th and 32nd minutes before a VAR review upgraded his booking to a red card for a foul on Achraf Hakimi.
  • Hakimi left injured and in tears, and although João Neves pulled one back for PSG, Manuel Neuer's saves secured Bayern's 2-1 win with ten men.
  • The result lifts Bayern above PSG in the group and preserves a perfect start with 16 wins from 16 competitive matches this season.
  • Bayern lodged a complaint with UEFA and pursued an emergency court hearing after a short-notice Paris police order restricted fan travel, leaving buses to depart around 5 a.m.
  • In the UEFA Youth League, Bayern U19 fell 0-3 at PSG to face a real risk of elimination, while Eintracht Frankfurt U19 drew 0-0 at Napoli to reach four points from four matches.
