Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 Bayern Munich: Club World Cup quarter-final – live reaction | Club World Cup 2025


Key events

A quick long recap: A first half in which both goalkeepers made stunning saves ended with Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala suffering what looked like a broken ankle in a collision with Gianluigi Donnarumma. The PSG goalkeeper and other players looked traumatised in the immediate aftermath of the incident, which seemed to be nothing more than an unfortunate accident.

The first 30 minutes of the second half were scrappy and fairly uneventful by the standards of what was to follow in the final 15. Manuel Neuer livened up proceedings by doing his best to gift PSG an opening goal with a wayward pass to Kvicia Kavaratskhelia. Ousmane Dembele failed to capitalise on the error, but PSG scored through Desire Doue after Harry Kane had given the ball away cheaply in midfield. Soon after, England’s finest thought he’d made up for his mistake by heading past Donnarumma, only to see his effort correctly ruled out for offside.

As Bayern Munich continued their increasingly desperate search for an equaliser, Willian Pacho and then Lucas Hernandez were sent off, reducing PSG to nine men. Despite their numerical disadvantage, the French side somehow doubled their lead through a goal scored by Dembele at the second time of asking on the counter-attack. In one final twist of the knife, Bayern Munich were awarded a penalty deep in added time only for it to be overturned after a pitchside review.
