Bayern Munich – Paris Saint-Germain: the end of Luis Enrique’s European adventure? (1-0)

The clean-sheet streak of Bayern Munich continued as Paris Saint-Germain was the eightieth team in a row to fail to put the ball inside the Bavarian net. Two pressing teams effortlessly tried to disrupt each other's systems before Ousmane Dembélé was sent off. After the booking, the events went in one way: Vincent Kompany’s direction.

After the Barcelona clash, Bayern Munich’s net is still clean. Since then, nobody has been able to put his name on the scoresheet against Vincent Kompany’s men. The Bavarian team turned defensively into a fortified castle, without forgetting the offensive authority with which Bayern Munich built its European reputation. Seventeen goals were distributed among seven opponents, making them occupy first place in the Bundesliga with a six-point difference between the closest team, Eintracht Frankfurt.

The same story can't be narrated for the Paris Saint-Germain case. This season, the Parisians’ record in Europe does not meet the expectations of a team with great potential to go further in the competition. They just grabbed a single win in their opening match against Girona. After that occasion, they lost against Arsenal and Atlético de Madrid and took one point against PSV Eindhoven. That threw them to the elimination spots in the UCL table.

Luis Enrique entered the game with Matvei Safonov in goal. Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, and Nuno Mendes . . .
