The Parc des Princes witnessed an intense clash on Tuesday, where Bayern Munich triumphed over PSG with a score of 2-1, marking their unbeaten streak at 16 games this season, all victories. This win is significant for Vincent Kompany, as it seems to be his most notable achievement since taking charge.

Bayern aims for a revival of their Champions League title, last won in 2020, and under Kompany, they appear to be on a path to an impressive season. Harry Kane, who has been in the limelight with a total of 22 goals this season, showcased his prowess against PSG, demonstrating marked defensive improvements thanks to the inclusion of Jonathan Tah from Bayer Leverkusen. Despite not making many signings over the summer, the impacts of Tah and Luis Diaz have been notable.

However, injuries loom large for PSG as they deal with crucial setbacks. Just when Luis Enrique’s team was regaining its midfield stability with Joao Neves back on the bench, injury struck. Ousmane Dembele, the Ballon d’Or winner, departed the match early with a suspected hamstring injury, raising concerns as he had just returned from another injury that kept him out of seven games. Additionally, another injury was reported for Achraf Hakimi following a challenge from Luis Diaz.

For Bayern, Luis Diaz made his mark with two goals within the first half, contributing to Bayern’s decisive lead. Nonetheless, his reckless challenge on Hakimi earned him a red card, turning the pitch dynamics. Manuel Neuer displayed a formidable performance, minimizing damage even when faced with multiple shots from the Paris side in the second half.

As Kompany leads the team, Bayern’s impressive performances against Chelsea and now PSG underscore their ambitions in Europe. They are now a formidable competitor, tied with PSG as the top-scoring teams in the league phase, further asserting their dominance.
