UCL

As it happened: Ruthless Bayern Munich send PSG crashing out

Ifeanyi Ufomadu 20:10 - 08 March 2023

Bayern Munich defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 on the night, (3-0 on aggregate) to advance to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.

Thanks for sticking around. Goodnight.

Yet another disappointing night for the expensively assembled PSG attack. Congratulations to Bayern Munich.

Christophe Galtier is certainly catching the heat for this PSG performance.

FULL TIME: Bayern Munich 2-0 PSG (agg: 3-0)

90' There will be five added minutes.

Kimmich brushes Verratti off the ball with ease and releases Cancelo who strides forward and slips the ball wide left for the substitute, Gnabry to fire past the PSG keeper.

SERGE MAKES IT TWO 🔥

GOAL! Bayern Munich 2-0 PSG (Gnabry 89) agg 3-0

86' Muller sprints past Ramos but he was offside. Ramos then reacts by shoving him in the chest and knocking him to the floor but he escapes a booking. Classic Sergio Ramos.

81' PSG are desperate now. Hugo Ekitike and Juan Bernat come on for Vitinha and Nuno Mendes

⌚️ 82' - Last Parisian subs.

73' Nuno Mendes finds some space on the left and he looks for Ramos with a floated diagonal pass, but gets it all wrong and it sails out for a goal kick.

69' PSG have a corner from the left. Mendes takes. Messi attempts to shoot from the edge of the box but is crowded out. Messi has had a quiet game today but we know how he sleeps eery night.

65' PSG attempt to respond but a Messi cross goes begging.

Muller robs Verratti and feeds Goretzka, who pulls Donnarumma in before rolling a ball to Choupo-Moting for a simple finish.

GOAL! Bayern Munich 1-0 PSG (Choupo-Moting 61) agg 2-0

I guess not everyone agrees with that decision.

Bayern just been shagged by VAR not sure how that’s been disallowed
— Tom Garratt (@Tgarratt10) March 8, 2023

GOAL - NO GOAL: Choupa-Moting glanced a header into the bottom corner but his celebrations are cut short as VAR decides Thomas Muller was in an offside position.

48' Donnarumma scuffs a simple clearance. Muller picks up possession and turns down the chance to shoot, instead crossing it to no one. Wasted chance.

PSG have made a change: Nordi Mukiele, who only came on for Marquinhos nine minutes before the break, is replaced by 17-year-old El Chadaille Bitshiabu.

Bayern get the ball rolling as we start the second half

Not the most exciting half of football if I'm being honest but the second half should be more exciting. I am nothing, if not an optimist.

A tough fight so far ⚔️

Halftime: Bayern Munich 0-0 PSG (agg: 1-0)

40' PSG almost take the lead thanks to a howler from Yann Sommer! The Bayern keeper tries to beat Hakimi and instead gives the ball straight to Vitinha, who shoots into an unguarded net empty but De Ligt slides in to block it on the line.

36' Yup, Marquinhos' game is over, he will be replaced by Nordi Mukiele. Big blow for PSG.

35' Marquinhos is down on his knees and It doesn’t look like he will be able to continue.

30' Davies dribbles dangerously in from the left before slipping a nice pass to Musiala, who fires a low shot goalwards from a tight angle. Donnarumma saves well.

Former Bayern goal-getter Lewandowski showing he's clearly no fan of Messi. That has to be it right?

Thanks, @lewy_official! 🤝

Messi getting kicked about now. That's three fouls on him already. Referee do something!!!

3 fouls already on Messi . Referee still not given a card #FCBPSG

21' This game is finally beginning to open up, spaces are popping up but nobody’s taken advantage yet.

PSG look a lot better in a back three, especially in possession, but early days still.

PSG shifting more into a three at the back in possession now. It's also interesting watching Bayern defend against Messi, seem quite happy to give him the right hand side. Rather keep their shape against Mbappe.

Bayern get the first real shot of the game. Goretzka fizzes a low drive towards the bottom right but Donnarumma gets down and handles well.

Mbappe has the ball in the Bayern net but it's been disallowed for a foul in the build-up.

10' Mbappe attempts to get past Upamecano down the left. The Bayern defender holds his line firmly, though, and the ball runs out for a goal kick.

6' PSG stroke it around the middle of the park trying to get comfortable.

Alphonso Davies whips in a fine cross from the left but it comes to nothing. The home side looking dangerous.

Kick-off!!! PSG get the ball rolling. Huge night for the men from Paris.

Are we getting a vintage Messi performance today?

Can Mbappe fire PSG to victory tonight? He comes into this game as Paris St-Germain's all-time top scorer. His goal against Nantes on Saturday was his record 201st strike for the club. Not bad for a 24-year-old.

PSG also make three changes to the starting XI from the first leg three weeks ago. Kylian Mbappe, Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha come in for Carlos Soler and Warren Zaire-Emery, who drop to the bench, and the injured Neymar.

Bayern make three changes to the side that won 1-0 in Paris. Alphonso Davies, Josip Stanisic and captain Thomas Müller replace Leroy Sane and Joao Cancelo, and Benjamin Pavard is suspended as a result of crashing into Lionel Messi at the Parc des Princes.
