Bayern Munich extended their winning run at the start of the 2025–26 season to 16 games in all competitions, and this was their most impressive yet beating Paris Saint-Germain 2–1.
Vincent Kompany’s side have emerged as potential usurpers in Europe, and the manner of their performance will have many believing that the Bundesliga leaders can snatch PSG’s crown.
The visitors were nothing short of sensational in the opening 45 minutes, but Luis Díaz’s red card helped PSG turn the tide. The holders were lifted by João Neves’ header, which halved the deficit midway through the second period, but they were unable to breach Manuel Neuer’s defense for a second time to earn a point.
Bayern’s slickness evolved into vintage grittiness, with two equally impressive faces shown in their statement triumph.
