Paris SG is eliminated from the Champions League after its logical defeat against Bayern Munich (2-0) on Wednesday evening. As in 2022, Paris will not see the quarter-finals. A fiasco.

The step was too high.

Beaten 1-0 in the first leg, at the Parc des Princes, the Parisians fell again to Bayern, Wednesday, in Munich (2-0).

Logic.

Choupo-Moting and Serge Gnabry for the Bavarian goals.

It is the German champions who will play the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The PSG is sent back to its doubts, with a long end to the season in perspective knowing that the L1 is already in the pocket and that the Coupe de France has flown away.

The time of regrets


Despite a first cartridge for entry Mbappé (2nd), we were entitled to a big round of observation in the Munich rain, but already a good impression of PSG, serious, diligent, who managed to press and recover high.

Quite the opposite of the first leg… Donnarumma still had the opportunity to warm up his gloves on a long shot from Goretzka (16th).

Despite a substantial waste, it was PSG who proved to be the most dangerous, Mbappé in the side net (20th), Messi taken over in extremis by Davies (25th).

Obviously, Bayern was not left out, with Musiala on the closed side (32nd).

But it was Sommer who was the hottest, the Swiss goalkeeper being taken by Hakimi's pressing.

Vitinha shot into the empty goal… before seeing De Ligt put on his savior cape (38th).

Miracle.

Despite the arabesques of Davies (41st) and this candy from Messi for Mbappé (43rd), we left it there (0-0 MT), with a taste of unfinished business... and the ball in the stomach when seeing the titi of 17-year-old Bitshiabu enter the pitch at the restart.

After Marquinhos (36th), the turn of Mukiele (46th), who had replaced the Brazilian, to have to leave!

The first opportunity was still for Mbappé (49th), countered, but FC Bayern began to push seriously.

Danilo saved the country in front of Choupo-Moting (52nd), an incredible comeback.

Then it was… the VAR that saved Paris, with the goal of said Choupo canceled (52nd).

Not the second, with a loss of ball from Verratti at the entrance to the surface (1-0, 60th).

By dint of bending, the PSG broke.

Finally the revolt, with Mbappé in the lead.

Sommer held firm, on this header from Ramos (64th) and this crushed strike from the crack of Bondy (68th).

By dint of pushing, we expose ourselves: Bayern could not achieve a situation of two against one (69th), Paris on a thread.

On a corner, Ramos' head licked the upright (83rd) and Paris camped in the opposing camp... before the KO goal from Gnabry (2-0, 89th).

Curtain.

Failed again...


PSG may regret the injuries on the return (Marquinhos, Mukiele) and the absence of Mbappé in the first leg, the rescue of De Ligt against Vitinha in the first period.

And also the fact of having finished second in his pool for nothing.

Nevertheless, the European course of the capital club stops in the round of 16, again.

Like in 2018, like in 2019, like in 2021. The patience of the supporters is being put to the test.

This time, no shameful rout, like last year against Real.

But the account was not there.

And of course, it was a former member of the red and blue house who punished Paris, "Choupo", mocked by the Parc des Princes during his Parisian years.

Cruel, but not so surprising for a team that only regained human form in the last few weeks.

Too late.

This time, Mbappé did not work a miracle


Parisian hopes rested largely on the shoulders of Kylian Mbappé.

He did no miracles.

Well taken, with Dayot Upamecano often to annoy him, the 24-year-old phenomenon did not manage to express himself.

Not a question of ill will.

It was the most dangerous in Munich.

Too much waste for some of his comrades, Leo Messi in the lead.

And what about this incredible mistake by Marco Verratti, who weighs down PSG like Marquinhos and Gigio Donnarumma in Madrid… Note the courage of Danilo Pereira, the serenity of Sergio Ramos.
