Bayern Munich 1-0 PSG: summary, score, goals, highlights ...

Kim Min-Jae goal gives Bayern Munich the win.

Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich haven't convinced in the Champions League this season but the German giants got the job done against Paris Saint-Germain, thanks to a first half goal from Kim Min-Jae. 

The Bavarians' task was made easier early in the second half when PSG forward Ousmane Dembele was sent off for a second bookable offence and they were able to cruise home with minimal fuss. 

Fulltime: Bayern Munich 1-0 PSG.

The free kick comes to nothing and Bayern Munich see out the final seconds. 

A big three points for Bayern and head coach Vincent Kompany!

Nuno Mendes tries to swing in a cross from the left but it deflects off Konrad Laimer for a corner kick. 

Is there one last chance for PSG? Safonov is up!

It's a good cross from Lee Kang-Lee, kept alive well by PSG. The ball eventually lands at the feet of Joao Neves but his shot flies well over the crossbar. 

Time running out for PSG. 

Serge Gnabry clips Hakimi as he charges down the right flank. 

Free kick to PSG, good chance to deliver form the right...

On second viewing, it was an incredible save from Matvey Safonov to tip that Musiala shot onto the post. 

The Russian stopper kept his side in the game there. 

Musiala strikes the inside of the post!

Good play from Bayern and it all opens up for Jamal Musiala to strike from just inside the box. He beats Safonov but has to watch his effort cannon back off the inside of the post. 

PSG survive!

Double change for Bayern. 

Michael Olise and Serge Gnbary come on. Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sane are replaced. 

Nuno Mendes

The PSG fullback is booked for a clumsy challenger on Laimer. 

Bayern's social media team pay tribute to the 'GOAT'.

We've seen plenty of Manuel Neuer tonight. A penalty box pirouette. A mad dash to the corner flag. And a darting run into midfield to spray a pass out to the left wing. 

Vintage Neuer. 

Sensational from Manuel Neuer to ping a ball out to Coman on the left flank. Bayern work the ball into the box and back out to Coman, who skies the ball from 12 yards out. 

Big chance for Bayern

Kang-In is straight into the action, whipping in a teasing free kick from the left that bounces along the Bayern six-yard box and out of play on the far side. 

Good delivery from the substitute. 

Bayern have retaken control of the game since the dismissal but PSG are still posing a threat. 

Barcola is now functioning as a lone striker but Lee Kang-In is being readied on the PSG bench. 

It appears that Ousmane Dembele was shown a second yellow card there, not a straight red. That makes more sense and explains why VAR did not intervene.

Brainless from Dembele to make that tackle when on a booking.

Well, that has certainly changed the complexion of the game on the hour-mark. 

PSG had looked in control since the break but, now down to ten men, they face a real uphill task. 

Dembele sent off for PSG.

Confirmation that the PSG forward is sent off. Real tough task for the visitors now. 

Dembele launched into a slide tackle on Davies on the edge of the Bayern box. It was slightly mistimed but didn't appear to make any real connection with the Canadian. 

It'll be interesting to see if VAR has a look at this...

Red card for Ousmane Dembele!

The Frenchman is sent off! Not entirely sure what for, there was a tackle but it would have been incredibly harsh. 

Fairly quiet start to the second half with no real chances for either team. 

PSG have managed to wrestle back control though, managing to push Bayern back. 

Bayern overhit a pass out to Laimer on the right, who had space to get forward. 

The hosts haven't really got going in the second half. 

And we're back!

PSG get the second half underway at Allianz Arena. 

Bayern Munich impress in first half showing.

We didn't know what to expect from Vincent Kompany ahead of his first season managing an elite team. His Bayern Munich side have impressed in the Bundesliga this year but have struggled a little in the Champions League, where they have come up against teams with similar budgets. 

Todays visit of PSG was always going to offer a real test but Kompany's side have passed so far, generating chances and dominating the ball against a talented side. There have been chances on the break for the likes of Ousmane Dembele and Warren Zaire-Emery but it's been a confident performance from Bayern in the opening 45 minutes. 

If they can maintain this level for the second half they could be rewarded with a statement result. 

Champions League latest scores.

Bayern lead against PSG in our focus game today but there's plenty more elsewhere in the UCL. Here's a look at the halftime scores...

First-ever Champions League goal for Kim Min-Jae.

The Bayern Munich defender hasn't had too much to do so far this evening but was sharp when the ball fell to him in the PSG penalty area. 

Halftime: Bayern Munich 1-0 PSG

The hosts lead at the break thanks to a Kim Min-Jae strike late in the first half. 

Fabian Ruiz is dispossessed on the edge of his own box and PSG pounce. 

First Leroy Sane and then Joshua Kimmich try their luck from range but both shots are rebuffed. 

Nuno Mendes does brilliantly to skip away from Bayern defenders on the left, before eventually hitting traffic on the edge of the box. 

He manages to turn back and retain possession. 

Nearly another for Bayern! Coman races onto a long ball forward but his poked effort curls just over the crossbar. 

The home crowd is in full voice now. 

Kim Min-Jae puts Bayern into the lead.

The PSG players are arguing that there was a foul on Safonov, preventing the keeper from getting to the ball. Officials think otherwise, however, and Bayern are ahead. 

GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAL! Kim Min-Jae

The second corner kick is much better from Kimmich, causing chaos in the penalty box and the ball drops to Min-Jae to  nod home from close range. 

The corner kick is taken by Kimmich but doesnt beat the first man. 

Another corner for the hosts...

Coman glides past Hakimi on the left and pulls the ball back to Kane on the edge of the box. He tries a clipped pass into the on-rushing Musiala but PSG scramble the ball clear. 

Bayern corner kick...

Mix-up between Harry Kane and Leroy Sane on the edge of the PSG box. Sane was in acres of space on the right but the Englishman couldn't find him. 

Groans around the Allianz Arena. 

Zaire Emery squanders big chance!

Sharp counter-attack from PSG finds Bradley Barcola racing away down the left flank. 

He squares the ball across the face of goal, finding Warren Zaire-Emery in space at the back post. He has time for a shot but miscues his effort and misses the target. 

Nearly a brilliant goal for Coman!

The Frenchman picks up the ball on the left and glides past three PSG defenders and into the box, before ballooning his effort over the crossbar. 

Brilliant work from Coman!

Harry Kane is clipped by a PSG defender near the touchline. 

The Englishman goes down holding his ankle but he's quickly to his feet again. 

Good spell of possession on the edge of the PSG box but an overly ambitious pass from Kimmich sees the move break down. 

The visitors have been diligent in their defensive work so far. 

Bayern push for an opener.

Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov has supplanted Gianluigi Donnarumma in the PSG starting XI and he's been good value for his place so far. Two sharp stops to deny the hosts. 

Bayern Munich win a free kick, 40 yards from the PSG goal on the left. 

Kimmich clips a ball to the back post but the assistant's flag is up. Musiala went too soon. 

Kingsley Coman gets into a foot race with Achraf Hakimi on the wing. The PSG defender does well to shield the ball out and even wins a free kick for his team. 

Top work from Hakimi. 

PSG starting to grow in confidence now, enjoying a little more of the ball than they did in the opening ten minutes. 

Bayern are finding space down the flanks but PSG's four-man midfield is making life difficult in central areas. 

Brave play from Manuel Nueur to break the lines and get Bayern on the offensive. Davies plays a clever ball down the line to Coman, who works it across to Sane on the right. 

Sane tries to beat Safonov at the near post but the goalkeeper is equal to the effort. 

Ten minutes in, both teams will be fairly happy with how this game has started. 

Bayern have dominated the ball but PSG have kept them at bay, and even started to pose a threat on the counter-attack. 

Safonov denies Musiala!

Slick play from Bayern to find Musiala in space in the box. He strikes it firmly with his right but the PSG goalkeeper makes a sharp save. 

Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala are almost operating as a striker partnership in the opening stages, swapping positions fluidly. 

Coman does well to hassle Zaire-Emery and win Bayern a corner kick. 

Proactive start from Bayern Munich, who are looking to get the ball into Musiala's feet or out wide quickly. 

The ball's worked to Goretzka in the box but he can't make space for a shot. 

Hectic start with a number of turnovers in the middle of the pitch. 

Four central midfielders in this PSG XI, they're looking to dominate the central areas. 

Bayern Munich go long from the start, well rebuffed by PSG. 

The hosts win it back and come forward again with Alphonso Davies on the left. 

We're off!

Bayern Munich get things underway...

Bayern Munich - Paris Saint-Germain team news.

We've just about got time to run through the starting XIs one more time. Here's how the two teams line up up Allianz Arena for this UCL league phase clash. 

Bayern Munich starting XI: Neuer; Laimer, Kim, Upamecano, Davies; Kimmich, Goretzka; Coman, Musiala, Sane; Kane.

Paris Saint-Germain starting XI; Ruiz, Dembele, Barcola.

Kim Min-Jae gets the start for Bayern Munich.

The South Korean defender hasn't always impressed since his big-money move from Napoli but he's given the start tonight by Vincent Kompany. He's played in all 11 Bundesliga games for Bayern so far this season, a key part of a defence that has conceded just seven goals in that time. 

The teams are out!

There's a huge roar of excitement at Allianz Arena as the players of Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain enter the field.

Kickoff fast approaching at Allianz Arena.

We're now little over ten minutes away from kickoff in Bavaria as Bayern Munich look to lay down a marker against PSG. 

Bayern Munich in the house.

It's not been a perfect start to the UCL campaign for Bayern Munich but Vincent Kompany's side are looking to get a statement victory against PSG this evening. 

The Bayern head coach explained: “What’s important is how the team lives and improves, how each individual player develops, even though they’re already top players. We don’t differentiate between games. All games aren’t easy.”

PSG arrive at the Allianz.

The French champions are in the house, looking to end a three-game losing run in fixtures against Bayern Munich. It's a tough ask though, Bayern have been in impressive form in the Bundesliga and are still unbeaten in domestic competition. 

Bayern Munich and PSG both came into this years competition with real ambitions but neither have quite lived up to expectations show far. Both teams have two wins from their opening four fixtures but still have a good chance of qualifying for the knockout stages. 

Here's a look at what they might need to do in their remaining games to make it...

How many points to qualify in the Champions League?

Can Kinsley Coman haunt PSG (again)?

French forward Kingsley Coman starts for Bayern Munich tonight, taking on former team PSG. The Parisian actually came through the ranks at PSG before moving on to Juventus and later Bayern Munich. 

Most gallingly of all for PSG, it was Coman who scored the decisive goal for Bayern in their 1-0 Champions League final victory between the two teams in 2020. Will he inflict more pain on PSG tonight?

William GittinsPosted at: 14:11 EST 26/11/2024

Confirmed PSG starting XI!

Here's how the visitors line up at Allianz Arena. Safonov starts in front of Donnarumma in goal, while Dembele and Barcola start as a pair of roving forwards up front. 

Safonov - Achraf, Marquinhos, Pacho, Nuno Mendes - Vitinha, Neves, Zaire-Emery Fabiáan - Dembele, Barcola.

Harry Kane leads the line for Bayern Munich.

The Englishman has continued his incredible form into the new season, scoring 20 goals in just 17 games in 2024/25. Five of those came in four Champions League games and he'll be desperate to add to that tally today. 

William GittinsPosted at: 13:58 EST 26/11/2024

Donnarumma benched for PSG.

We're still awaiting confirmation of the PSG starting XI but it looks like Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma will not feature. Matvei Safonov starts in his place. 

Bayern Munich team news!

Here's how the hosts line up to face PSG. Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman start alongside Harry Kane in a terrifying front three for the Bavarians. 

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane made history last week, becoming the fastest player to 50 Bundesliga goals. The record he beat belonged to a certain Erling Braut Haaland. 

The Englishman completed an impressive hat-trick on Friday night with this sumptuous finish, highlighting his incredible first touch and eye for a goal. 

Harry Kane magic for Bayern

PSG sounding confident ahead of trip to Bayern Munich.

Speaking to reporters ahead of today's game, Paris Saint-Germain struck a confident tone as they prepare to take on Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena. It's a daunting test for even the most talented of teams, but this PSG side look refreshed and ready to go deep in Europe. 

Head coach Luis Enrique: “We will give it our all, we will be brave, we will take risks, as we usually do.”

Midfielder Vininha: "Motivation is at its highest for tomorrow's match. We're here to win the game."

William GittinsPosted at: 13:35 EST 26/11/2024

"Bayern Munich are favourites every time they play, in every competition they play in,."

"That's true today and it will also be true in 10 years. It's a club that carries a lot of weight in Germany and in Europe."

Bayern Munich hoping to roll back the years against PSG.

As mentioned, Bayern Munich have had the better of this meeting in the past. So much so that the club have released this compilation of the top ten goals scored against PSG. 

There's a few crackers in there.

PSG out for revenge against Bayern.

The last three Champions League meetings between Bayern Munich and PSG have each ended in victory for the German giants. Most famously, Bayern defeated PSG in the final of the 2019/20 competition, denying the Parisians their first-ever Champions League triumph. 

Can Luis Enrique's side break that run at Allianz Arena today?

William GittinsPosted at: 13:24 EST 26/11/2024

“We are playing against one of the big clubs in Europe. They have a lot of individual quality and a very good coach. Both teams will want to win. We are playing at home and this match is of utmost importance to us."

“[PSG have] a squad with incredible talent. The spaces between the lines are never big, the pressing is very aggressive and good. When they have the ball, they have a clear attacking approach. As a team, they are really very good.”

The scene is set at Allianz Arena.

On a Champions League night, Bayern Munich's state-of-the-art Allianz Arena is surely one of the most intimidating venues in European soccer. 

It's Paris Saint-Germain who are looking to stun Vincent Kompany's team today.
