In a thrilling Champions League encounter, FC Bayern Munich secured a dominant victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the return leg of their quarterfinal matchup. Despite the absence of star players Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe due to injury, PSG put up a valiant effort but ultimately fell short against Bayern's formidable squad.
The first half began at a furious pace, with both teams pressing forward in search of an early goal. Bayern's Robert Lewandowski had the first major chance, but his shot was brilliantly saved by PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. At the other end, Neymar came close to giving PSG the lead, but his effort struck the woodwork.
Bayern took the lead in the 26th minute through a stunning strike from Kingsley Coman. The French winger cut inside from the left and unleashed a powerful shot that flew past Donnarumma and into the far corner. Bayern continued to dominate possession and create chances, but PSG managed to stay in the game thanks to some heroic saves from their Italian shot-stopper.
The second half saw Bayern extend their lead in the 60th minute through a converted penalty by Thomas Müller. The German forward calmly slotted home after Leroy Sané was fouled in the area by Marquinhos. PSG pushed forward in search of a comeback, but Bayern's defense held firm and prevented them from creating any clear-cut chances.
With the victory, Bayern secured an aggregate score of 4-1 and a place in the quarterfinals. They will now face Manchester City in the next round, while PSG's Champions League journey comes to an end for another season.
