Overview
- - Referee Maurizio Mariani, recorded by Canal+, told Bayern players at halftime that Luis Díaz “came from behind and had no chance to get the ball,” explaining the upgrade to a red card after VAR in the 45+8 minute.
- - Díaz had scored both Bayern goals before the dismissal, and the German side held on to win 2–1 in Paris to move top of their Champions League group.
- - PSG’s Achraf Hakimi sustained a severe ankle sprain with ligament overstretch and is reported to be sidelined for approximately six to eight weeks.
- - Bayern captain Manuel Neuer criticized the way the decision was relayed to him, while coach Vincent Kompany defended Díaz’s character and expressed hope for Hakimi’s quick recovery.
- - Former international Toni Kroos argued the red card was unwarranted and suggested Hakimi’s injury influenced the call, and Díaz will miss the Nov. 26 match against Arsenal with any further suspension still to be confirmed.
