An evening to forget for PSG. Paris Saint-Germain conceded its first European defeat of the season this Tuesday against Bayern Munich (1-2) at the Parc des Princes, during the 4th day of the Champions League. Trailing 2-0 after 32 minutes, the Parisians believed they could reverse the situation after the expulsion of Luis Diaz, without managing to equalize despite their efforts.
The capital club lost much more than a match. Ousmane Dembélé, holder, left the pitch after only 25 minutes, grimacing and touched the calf according to The Team Channel. Achraf Hakimi, victim of a violent tackle by Luis Diaz, came out in tears before being seen after the match with a big boot on his left ankle.

In terms of play, Bayern Munich largely dominated the first period. Totally unrecognizable, the Parisians were overwhelmed by the collective power of the Bavarians, who wandered around for almost forty-five minutes, scoring twice thanks to their Colombian striker.
“It’s starting to pull”
After the final whistle, the PSG players recognized the superiority of their opponents. “We couldn’t put our game together. Many players (from PSG) are not in good shape, 100%. I’m part of it“, conceded Marquinhos. Same story for Bradley Barcola. “The sequence of matches hurts and I’m starting to feel it. It’s starting to pull,” he confided in the mixed zone, lucid after his subdued performance.
At a press conference, Luis Enrique also admitted his wrongs. “When you recover injured players, yes, they have recovered but they are not 100% fit. This is something I need to know how to manage better. With my idea and my experiences, I have to improve a lot in this direction”he admitted. Before adding: “I’m not looking for any excuses. You have to accept that the opponent is superior… I’m waiting to get all my players back. Since the start of the season, I have never had all my players in shape at the same time. We knew this could happen. »
