One of the Champions was judged to be an impossible love for PSG. The Parisian club gave up its skin in this toxic relationship, but there was no way to make it work. The first period of the match against Bayern could not have been worse, conditioned by a serious mistake by Donnarumma in the final 0-1 for Coman. The Italian condemned his team to try to return to the Allianz Arena, almost a chimera at the moment.
Bayern are not cheaters. True to his essence, he entered the field to get the ball. It was a declaration of intent against an overmatched PSG, almost always at mercy. Not having Mbappé is a setback as the team has run out of depth. With Kimmich as a thermometer, the German team took the first half where their rivals accepted the conditions. He also has no choice but to wait for a race from Messi or Neymar.
That Bayern is classified as one of the giants of Europe is not on a whim. This is a group that gives a feeling of permanent fear. Fortunately, PSG had a great performance from Sergio Ramos, helpful in the dismissal. He did everything right to reduce the gaps with those who invaded his place. Donnarumma, with tense composure, only needed to appear on the edge of the break with a fine intervention on a shot from Kimmich.
Bayern’s dominance was barren. In the counterattack, PSG also had a moment. Without testing Sommer, but with several escapes from the beardless Zaïre-Emery, who made his debut as a starter in the Champions League at the age of 16. Christophe Galtier put the team in a 4-4-2 to protect against the Bavarian initiative. However, the appetizer of this tie confirmed that the fear of defeat is great. Both play during the season in Europe.
PSG’s problem is that they often have opponents at home. Donnarumma did not achieve last season at the Santiago Bernabéu and not this time against Bayern either. Finding an explanation for his mistake in Coman’s 0-1 draw is impossible. The ball passed through his body like it was transparent. The winger, who was born in the French capital and has a past with the institution, raised his arms to apologize to his former fans.

The nightmare for PSG began against a mature Bayern. Facing the abyss, Mbappé came in with half an hour to go. The Frenchman, reserved from the start, also could not change the dynamics of a game controlled by the German team. A shot on the post from Choupo-Moting highlighted the harsh reality for a PSG that sees every season how the Champions League is a winding path where it never reaches the top.
He’s not lucky either, so it’s necessary in life. Mbappé scored after a wonderful run by Nuno Mendes, but Neymar started the play offside. Messi also had a go at the tie, but a miraculous Pavard saved it by interposing his leg. The French central defender was sent off for double booking, a punishment Nagelsmann accepted without objection. PSG need to go to Munich for another miracle.
