Paris SG, which had to win in Munich, was beaten (0-1) by Bayern on Tuesday November 26 during the 5th day of the Champions League. Three days before the end of the qualifying phase, elimination in the first round hangs in the face of the Parisians.

There is still hope, but it is slim. Like the thread on which Paris Saint-Germain hangs, beaten by Bayern Munich (0-1) and more than ever under the threat of early elimination in the Champions League.

The data was however clear for Luis Enrique's men: with only four units in four days, Paris had to win in Bavaria to hope to qualify for the 16th finals. Except that the opponent, Bayern, remained on three consecutive victories against PSG, and above all needed points as much as their host.

Safonov at fault...

In a meeting more controlled by the Munich residents against the Parisians who had their chance, the difference was made on a corner on which the Parisian goalkeeper Safonov is not exempt from all reproaches. His poor clearance with both fists actually benefited Korean defender Kim Min-Jea who opened the scoring with a header (38th).

Safonov, the gamble of Luis Enrique who had decided to bench the usual starter, the Italian Gianluigi Donnarumma, will nevertheless have kept his team alive. Like this magnificent parade on a shot from Jamal Musiala which ends up on his post (74th).
