Summary
- Bayern Munich beats PSG 2-1 in Champions League match
- Luis Diaz scores twice for Bayern but is sent off for reckless tackle on Hakimi
- Joao Neves' late goal gives PSG hope, but Bayern hold on for important win
On November 5th, 2025, Bayern Munich secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in a Champions League group stage match. The game was marred by a worrying injury to PSG's Achraf Hakimi following a challenge by Bayern's Luis Diaz.
Diaz had put Bayern in control with goals in the 4th and 32nd minutes, but his foul on Hakimi just before half-time resulted in a red card. The Moroccan international left the pitch in tears, casting doubt over his participation in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
Despite being a man down, Bayern held on to their lead for much of the second half. Substitute Joao Neves gave PSG hope with a 74th-minute volley, but the German champions managed to see out the game and claim an important three points.
The victory extended Bayern's winning streak to 16 games across all competitions, showcasing their impressive form. However, the incident involving Diaz and Hakimi will undoubtedly be the main talking point in the aftermath of this tense Champions League clash.
