November 05, (THEWILL) — Luis Diaz scored twice before receiving a red card as Bayern Munich defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 at Parc des Princes on Tuesday night. The Colombian forward’s first-half double proved enough for Vincent Kompany’s men, who held on with 10 players to extend their remarkable run.
Bayern opened the scoring after just four minutes when Diaz converted following Michael Olise’s blocked effort, capitalising on poor play from the hosts. PSG believed they had levelled through Ousmane Dembele, but VAR ruled the goal offside. Serge Gnabry struck both posts before Diaz added his second in the 32nd minute, dispossessing Marquinhos to finish calmly.
The match turned before half-time when Diaz was dismissed for a dangerous tackle on Achraf Hakimi after a VAR review. PSG struggled to make their extra player count until the 74th minute, when Joao Neves volleyed home from Lee Kang-In’s delivery to set up a tense finale.
The French champions dominated possession in the closing stages and created several opportunities to equalise. Neves headed wide from a promising position whilst Marquinhos also failed to convert a clear chance as Manuel Neuer’s side defended resolutely.
The victory marked Bayern’s 16th consecutive triumph of the 2025/2026 campaign and lifted them above Arsenal to the summit of the Champions League standings. PSG, the defending champions, must now regroup after surrendering their unbeaten home record in Europe this season.
