We went through this in the US [at the Club World Cup against PSG] with [Jamal] Musiala,\u201d Bayern coach Vincent Kompany said at a news conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I tell players is that when there\u2019s some hype, don\u2019t believe it. We\u2019ve won 16, but from tomorrow onwards, it\u2019s back to zero. Nobody has won the Champions League today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His PSG counterpart, Luis Enrique, echoed that point of view, saying: \u201cToday\u2019s standings mean nothing. What matters is February, March, April, May.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always hard to lose at home. We need to assert ourselves and play better. We faced a well-organised team, especially physically. We couldn\u2019t get our game going,\u201d PSG captain Marquinhos said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are still some positives to take from this match. The team remain ambitious, but we have to do better. They were superior to us. In the second half, we were on top, but it was after the red card.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4085622\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4085622\" style=\"width:770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-arc-image-770 wp-image-4085622\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GettyImages-2245018302-1762321993.jpg?w=770&amp;resize=770%2C519&amp;quality=80\" alt=\"Luis Diaz in action.\" fetchpriority=\"low\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4085622\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Diaz of Bayern Munich scores his team\u2019s second goal in the 32nd minute [Stuart Franklin\/Getty Images]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"ten-man-bayern-hold-on-for-dramatic-victory\">Ten-man Bayern hold on for dramatic victory<\/h2>\n<p>Dembele made his first Champions League start of the season, but his night was short-lived, the France forward being replaced by Lee Kang-in after 25 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>PSG, who had beaten Bayern 2-0 in the Club World Cup quarterfinals in July, came out flying with their trademark high pressing but were caught cold in the fourth minute when Diaz smashed home after Lucas Chevalier had parried Michael Olise\u2019s effort.<\/p>\n<p>Dembele thought he had levelled midway through the half, only for his goal to be ruled out for offside as PSG pressed but looked unusually fragile at the back.<\/p>\n<p>Moments later, Manuel Neuer pulled off a spectacular save to deny Bradley Barcola, who had raced to a pinpoint long ball from Fabian Ruiz.<\/p>\n<p>Bayern stayed a step ahead, and after Serge Gnabry struck the post, Diaz pounced on a sleepy Marquinhos to steal the ball and slot home a second in the 32nd minute.<\/p>\n<p>Diaz\u2019s evening ended abruptly just before half-time when he was shown a straight red card for a brutal lunge on Hakimi, who limped off in tears with a suspected ankle injury.<\/p>\n<p>Long possession spells ensued for PSG in the second half, but the hosts lacked a cutting edge until the 74th minute when substitute Neves reduced the arrears with a spectacular scissor kick from Lee\u2019s cross.<\/p>\n<p>Neves came close to levelling a few minutes later with a header as PSG further increased the pressure.
