In the 5th round of the Champions League qualifying round, the big match between Bayern Munich and PSG took place in an unexpected situation. Although they are two big teams, they have not played well in Europe this season, with 2 losses in the first 4 rounds.
After 90 tense minutes, Bayern Munich won 1-0. The only goal of the match was scored by center-back Kim Min-jae. This result helped the Gray Tigers rise to 11th place with 9 points, while PSG ranked 26th, a position at risk of early elimination.
In this match, PSG started with a special tactical formation, using two wingers, Dembele and Barcola, playing the highest. Despite the ambition of using 6 midfielders to control the match, Enrique's team still failed when they only had 42% possession.
After the match, coach Kompany revealed that he had known about PSG's trick, according to Bavarian Football Works: "This tactical trick does not surprise me. Paris have played without a striker in many recent matches.
Obviously I am very happy. We pressed well in the first half and showed discipline. Bayern could have scored one or two more goals, but the result was good enough.”
Despite the victory, Bayern Munich are still not sure of a ticket to the next round. Coach Kompany stated the most important goal: "I don't look at the rankings because I don't understand them very well. Hopefully everything will be good with a few more wins. If we win the remaining matches, we have a chance to be in the top 8."
