Bayern Munich’s French forward Kingsley Coman scores a goal during the UEFA Champions League football match between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes in Paris, on February 14, 2023. AFPPIX: Kingsley Coman scored the only goal of the game as Bayern Munich beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday, with substitute Kylian Mbappe denied a late equaliser by a marginal offside call.
Bayern finished the game with 10 men after Benjamin Pavard was sent off, but it was a frustrating ending for PSG. “It was a bit strange. I grew up at this club, in this city, I was born here, so it was difficult to celebrate but at the end we are really pleased with the victory,“ Coman said. But Bayern had little to be afraid of in the first half as Mbappe -- scorer of seven goals in six games in the group stage -- watched on, with Lionel Messi and Neymar badly missing his presence.Instead Bayern, playing with a three-man central defence, controlled the game and restricted PSG to just one attempt in the first half.
PSG also made a change, replacing Achraf Hakimi with France centre-back Presnel Kimpembe, but the biggest cheer of the night had been reserved for Mbappe when he came out to warm up during the break.
