Return of Mbappe not enough for PSG as Bayern Munich game plan neutralises Messi, Neymar

Bayern Munich took control of their Champions League round-of-16 match with Paris Saint-Germain as Kingsley Coman's goal gave them a 1-0 victory at Parc des Princes on Tuesday.

Bayern dominated much of the game and had chances to double their lead after Coman's 53rd minute winner. Up to that point, the likes of Leo Messi and Neymar were struggling to find their way into the match, and it was the introduction of Kylian Mbappe in the second half that shifted the balance of the game back into the hosts' favour.

Mbappe had two goals disallowed due to offside, while Messi had a shot turned over by a brilliant block from Bayern defender Benjamin Pavard block.
