Bayern shows strength: 2-1 win against PSG delights fans in Munich!

In a thrilling Champions League game, FC Bayern Munich won 2-1 against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, November 5, 2025. The game took place at the prestigious Parc des Princes and caused a lot of trouble for the hosts, who were ultimately unable to repeat their dominance from last season. Coach Vincent Kompany achieved an important victory with his team, which further confirms the positive development of the team under his leadership.

Bayern put in an impressive performance, particularly in the first half, which was reminiscent of the glory days under Pep Guardiola. Joshua Kimmich described this first half as “the best since I’ve been at Bayern,” underlining the team’s greatly improved form. With a confident 2-0 at half-time, the lead could have been even higher if it hadn't been for the red card for Luis Díaz, which prematurely turned the momentum of the game on its head.

The twist in the second half

After Díaz's red card in the 44th minute, Bayern had to act more defensively and let their opponents take control of the game. Kompany responded to this challenge by substituting Tom Bischof for Serge Gnabry to strengthen the defense. Nevertheless, the team didn't let themselves be disturbed and defended with conviction, while Manuel Neuer made important saves. In the end, PSG was only able to draw attention through João Neves, who scored the goal in the 75th minute.

Bayern demonstrated both playful dominance and defensive stability in this encounter, achieving a great balancing act. The maturity that was sometimes missing last season was now clearly evident. “We can endure even if we can’t shape the game,” Kompany remarked proudly after the final whistle. The victory at PSG shows that Bayern no longer has to prove itself, but should continue on the course it has chosen.

A look at the Champions League

With the victory, Bayern are now high on the list, especially in a tournament that features several surprises this season. PSG, the defending champions, were unable to repeat their success despite their good form last year, where they beat Inter Milan 5-0 in the final. New clubs such as Pafos, Bodø/Glimt and Kairat Almaty have qualified for the current Champions League season, which could mean exciting new challenges, while well-known names such as Real Madrid, Juventus and of course Bayern themselves are aiming to win the title.
