The Frenchman Kingsley Coman scored the only goal (53) in a game in which Bayern was far superior until Kylian Mbappé entered the field, who revolutionized PSG, who in the end had chances to have tied.
The German team ended up in inferiority after the expulsion of Benjamin Pavard when he saw the second yellow card for a foul on Lionel Messi, so the French winger will miss the return leg in Munich.
Much was expected from the most interesting round of 16 tie (along with Real Madrid and Liverpool), but in the first part there was only Bayern Munich in the Parque de los Príncipes.
The Germans barely needed 30 seconds to shoot for the first time on goal (Choupo-Moting) and took control of the match (60% possession at half-time), constantly attacking the opposing goal (35 arrivals for only 10 from the locals). , although without the usual aim in the German champion.
The midfielder Joshua Kimmich, in a shot from the edge that Gianluigi Donnarumma saved on the ground (43) was the clearest chance for the Bavarians, while the only offensive action of the Parisians was a free kick that Lionel Messi smashed into the wall (45+2).
It is true that PSG lacked a fundamental attacking mainstay like Kylian Mbappé, who was left on the bench due to the muscle injury he has been carrying for two weeks, but Bayern started without many of their offensive weapons (Davis, Müller and Gnabry They were not starters and Sadio Mané is injured).
Precisely, after the break Alphonso Davis entered and the Canadian full-back put in the cross that Coman converted into the first goal of the game, with a low shot that slipped under Donnarumma’s body (53).
