Díaz’s Brace and Red Card as Bayern Beat PSG 2–1 in Paris

PSG say Achraf Hakimi suffered a severe left‑ankle sprain that will sideline him for several weeks.

Overview

  • The victory extends Bayern’s perfect start to 16 competitive wins and consolidates their Champions League position.
  • Bayern coach Vincent Kompany defended Luis Díaz after the dismissal, saying he saw no intent to injure and wished Hakimi a quick recovery.
  • Spanish reports suggest a syndesmosis rupture with a possible six‑to‑eight‑week absence for Hakimi, though only PSG’s statement is official.
  • A UEFA disciplinary review is expected after the straight red, with Díaz likely to be suspended and to miss Bayern’s next European match against Arsenal.
  • Manuel Neuer, Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah drew praise for Bayern’s rearguard display with ten men, while PSG captain Marquinhos admitted Bayern were superior.
