The German veteran was asked yesterday which of PSG’s superstars he thinks is their best player. He represents most goals for Paris and we have to plan how to stop him but it is a team sport,” Muller said. “We also have to be patient. “Their defence isn't a weakness,” he said.

PSG are without Neymar for the rest of the season, but Kylian Mbappe is fit to start again in a game brimming with intriguing sub-plots. Hosts Bayern have a 1-0 advantage after Kingsley Coman scored the only goal in the first leg in Paris. He comes away from that Bayern set-piece opportunity holding his side and grimacing and that will be that for the away skipper. 2 hours from kickoff: Hello and welcome to the Sporting News' live coverage of a mouth-watering Champions League showdown between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain. The Bayern skipper plays a pass to Goretzka and he leaves it on a plate for Choupo-Moting to sweep home.

The PSG goalkeeper gets down very well to beat behind and his teammates deal with the Bayern corner. 43rd minute: Messi lifts a delicious-looking ball for Mbappe to run onto but it just skips away from him off the turf and Sommer doesn't try anything smart this time. The striker can't get his shot off and Danilo bundles him out of the picture. Sadio Mane will join him in the Bayern attack shortly. But, after not losing a single match before the turn of the year this season, PSG have been beaten six times in 2023. There’s a tempting narrative here of Bayern — a grand old club doing things “the right way” — putting gauche, moneybags PSG in their place.

PSG project fails again as Bayern prove their pedigree (ESPN)

For the fifth time in seven years, PSG's expensively assembled squad has been knocked out in the Champions League last 16, this time by Bayern.

We had a lot of important absentees in the first game and in the second game. Had a golden chance to open the scoring for PSG in the first half, but he wasn't clinical enough with the empty goal gaping. In the end, we deserved to win" [Sadio Mane](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/169797/Sadio-Mané), who replaced Musiala as a late substitute, or [Leroy Sane](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/202641/Leroy-Sané). Yet he joined PSG in 2021 with the challenge of helping the French team finally win their first Champions League, and for the second successive season, he and PSG have gone out in the round of 16. Right now, though, only Musiala is looking like the kind of world-class player that Bayern used to have in abundance. The Bayern star dominated the midfield and his first-half shoulder charge on Messi summed up how he approached this game. This isn't a vintage Bayern team, but nobody will want to face them in the latter stages simply because they know how to win in this competition. This might just have been the game in which Messi saw his last chance of one more Champions League crown disappear forever. Bayern had to weather an early PSG storm before taking control of this game, but once Choupo-Moting put them ahead on 60 minutes, the tie was in the bag. In continental competition, all PSG's Qatari owners have to show for their mammoth investment in the club is one final appearance. PSG, who lost to Bayern in Lisbon, Portugal, in their only Champions League final appearance to date in 2020, crashed out 3-0 on aggregate after losing the first-leg 1-0 in Paris.

Minute-by-minute report: Another year, another limp Champions League exit for Paris Saint-Germain. Scott Murray was watching.

42 min: Ramos ships possession, allowing Davies to slither this way and that, into the PSG box from the left. 64 min: Another corner for PSG out on the right. Verratti attempts to shepherd the ball out for a goal kick, but over-estimates the pace of the ball. 67 min: A snapshot by Mbappe from a tight angle on the left. Sane has the chance of feeding Davies into the box down the right, but misplaces the pass; it’s deflected, and he has to settle for a corner. 72 min: Bayern are probing for the goal that would surely kill this tie for good. 75 min: Sane dribbles this way and that, down the left flank and into the PSG box. 74 min: A bit of space for Mendes, 25 yards out in a pocket on the left. Kimmich brushes Verratti off the ball with absurd ease near the Bayern box, then launches a counter. A yellow would have seen him suspended for the first leg of the quart… “PSG have underperformed for the nth time. 90 min: There will be five added minutes, though PSG just want to go home now.

Bayern Munich vs. PSG player ratings: Lionel Messi and Kylian ... (CBSSports.com)

The Germans were far and away the better team and advanced to the Champions League quarterfinal.

Gambled on Marquinhos which did not work. Captain after Marquinhos was forced off, Messi's isolation did not help him. It was a tenacious and risk-taking approach which was working until he got caught in possession and Bayern scored. Saw a great chance thwarted by De Ligt on the line. Underrated, as always, he was reasonably solid for much of the game. He made some great interceptions at the back while he won a few aerial battles at key moments and tested Sommer in the second half. He pulled up short in the warm-up so to go that far was impressive. How did the manager do? Lively and just so smooth, carrying the ball forward to get the attack going. He had a couple of his vtrademark surging runs, but it was his unselfishness to set up Choupo-Moting that cemented his fine performance. A monster at the back. Some curious play at times, especially giving the ball away for a golden chance for Vitinha.
