On paper, the duel between PSG and FC Bayern is a match at eye level. Itās a little different on the pitch.
At halftime, the score was still 0-0, but things seemed much less balanced on the Prinzenpark lawn.
Because while Bayern scored ten goals in the first 45 minutes, PSG remained goalless until the start of added time. Lionel Messi finally ended Franceās shooting drought with a free kick that caught the world champion in the wall.
This hitherto reserved and wait-and-see appearance of the hosts is a real rarity. Eight years ago, PSG were left without their own conclusion in the first 30 minutes of a CL game. At that time, the French failed at FC Barcelona.
Although Bayern scored far more penalty kicks, it should be added for the sake of completeness that they too have hardly become a threat. This is illustrated by the xG value of 0.48, which the guests obtained according to āfotmob.comā.
