Overview
- The 2-1 victory in Paris extended Bayern’s winning run to 16 matches and maintained their strong start to the season in Europe.
- Luis Díaz was shown a straight red card after a VAR review by referee Maurizia Mariani, leaving Bayern to defend much of the second half with ten men.
- Sporting director Max Eberl singled out Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah for an outstanding defensive display.
- Kompany has avoided tactical experiments by sticking to a 4-2-3-1 and fostering tight player relationships, illustrated by his post-match embrace with Upamecano.
- Reports caution that sustaining November form could be difficult given a relatively thin squad, with Díaz’s suspension and an upcoming Champions League trip to Arsenal set to test depth.
