ingsley Coman came back to haunt Paris Saint-Germain again as he earned Bayern Munich a 1-0 win at the Parc des Princes Stadium in Paris in the team’s Champions League last-16 first leg match on Tuesday.
Born in Paris and raised at PSG, Coman scored the only goal when Bayern beat the French side in the 2020 Champions League final, and he was again the sole scorer as the German champion put one foot into the quarterfinals.
PSG, who has now lost five games in all competitions in 2023, held firm in the opening half but was eventually subdued and failed to fight back despite finishing the game with Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi all on the pitch.
Christophe Galtier's side now faces the prospect of a second elimination in a row in the last 16 on March 8 in Munich, although Mbappe's high-octane display as a second-half substitute will have given it hope.
"We played really well in the first 25 minutes and the best team on the night won. It's an important victory but there's a second leg coming," Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said.
"We were dominant and aggressive in the beginning. Then they started to find some depth when Mbappe came on."
