Paris Saint-Germain vs. Bayern Munich - Football Match Report - February 14, 2023 - ESPN

Bayern Munich put themselves in pole position to reach the Champions League quarterfinals, with Kingsley Coman scoring against his former club in a 1-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of their heavyweight round of 16 tie.

The German champions dominated the majority of the contest against their lacklustre hosts. And they grabbed the only goal through Coman's 53rd minute volley that Gianluigi Donnarumma allowed to squeeze through his grasp.

Coman had also scored the only goal to give Bayern victory when the two sides met in the 2020 final in Lisbon.

Kylian Mbappe was only fit enough to come off the bench for the French champions but still found the net twice, only for both to be ruled out for offside as PSG came to life in the closing stages.

Bayern finished the game with 10 men after Benjamin Pavard was shown a second yellow card in stoppage time but had enough to hang on and grab a crucial advantage away from home.

After their third loss in a row in all competitions, PSG will need to produce a much-improved performance in the return leg in Munich in three weeks' time if they are to avoid their wait for a first Champions League title extending for another year.

PSG were boosted by the return to the starting lineup of Lionel Messi after he missed their 3-1 loss to Monaco on Saturday. But without Mbappe, Galtier handed a start to 16-year-old Warren Zaire-Emery to become the youngest player ever to begin a Champions League knockout game.

From the opening whistle, Bayern assumed control, dominating possession with PSG struggling desperately to get hold of the ball and even get out of their own half at times.
