PSG 0-1 Bayern Munich: Player ratings as Kingsley Coman haunts former club

Bayern Munich earned a valuable first leg lead as they dominated Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Although PSG were the home side, they seemed content to allow Bayern to dominate the ball from the start while they looked to break themselves.

That saw the early chances go the way of Bayern. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting flashed an early long range effort wide.

The threat from PSG was always there, of course. Messi and Neymar combined on the quarter-hour but Benjamin Pavard was alert to the danger.

Pavard was the architect of the next major chance of the game. Jamal Musiala latched onto a through-ball from the Frenchman but this time it was Sergio Ramos to intervene with some quality defending.

Choupo-Moting then wasted another chance after some fine work from Kingsley Coman. His header was deflected wide. Coman had a go himself a few minutes later but his effort could only find the side-netting.

By the time the half-time whistle was blown, PSG had not managed a single shot on target.

The only real difference between first half and the start of the second was that Bayern made their quality count on the scoreboard.

PSG had more of the ball after the break, and there were certainly moments of encouragement. Kylian Mbappe was sent on from the bench and they naturally looked a much better side for it.

Bayern edged into the lead before that, though. Half-time substitute Alphonso Davies made an immediate impact with the cross, and Coman finished neatly under the body of Donnarumma.

With Mbappe on the pitch, though, PSG were much improved. He had the ball in the net late on, but VAR correctly ruled it out for an offside in the build-up.

Lionel Messi went close seconds later, but Pavard produced an incredible block to keep the scores level.

However, in truth, an equaliser would have been more than they deserved and Bayern closed the game out to claim a first leg leg. Only a late red card to Pavard in injury time soured the night for the Bavarians.
