Luis Diaz has scored three goals in the Champions League this season Luis Diaz's double helped 10-man Bayern Munich maintain their perfect start to the season at the expense of defending European champions Paris St-Germain. The German side made it 16 successive wins in all competitions, including four out of four in the Champions League to top the league phase table. Diaz had a mixed night, scoring twice to put Bayern in control before being sent off on the stroke of half-time following a rash challenge from behind on Achraf Hakimi. The Moroccan full-back was in tears as he was helped off with a serious-looking ankle injury, and the AFCON tournament held in his homeland in December. Hakimi left the stadium on crutches, wearing a protective boot and PSG captain Marquinhos said: "We have to wait for the tests, they've done some minor tests. " In a chaotic first half at Parc des Princes, Vincent Kompany's side showed a bravery and willingness to press high up the field, which paid dividends when Diaz hit the opener in the fourth minute. Ousmane Dembele thought he had levelled midway through the half with PSG's first shot of the game when he chested in from close range, but his effort was ruled out for offside. The Ballon d'Or winner then left the field with what appeared to be a calf injury moments later. Bayern continued to ask questions of the hosts and were desperately unlucky when Serge Gnabry's shot crashed off one post and on to the other. But Diaz struck his second in the 32nd minute after stealing possession from a slack Marquinhos and coolly finishing. The Colombia winger, though, was dismissed just before the break for his tackle on Hakimi. A yellow card was upgraded to a red following a review from the video assistant referee (VAR), with the Moroccan clearly upset. PSG threw everything at Bayern in the second half, but constantly came up against a brick wall and looked like they weren't going to find a route back into the encounter. But with 16 minutes remaining, substitute Joao Neves stole half a yard of space to hit a bicycle kick beyond Manuel Neuer. That effort reignited PSG and Neuer faced a barrage of shots in the closing stages, making several fine saves to deny Neves, Warren Zaire-Emery and Vitinha, as the holders suffered their first defeat of this season's competition. PSG next host Tottenham on Wednesday, 26 November (20: 00 GMT), while Bayern visit Arsenal - who have also won all four games - on the same night (20: 00 GMT). How Kompany turned Bayern into a formidable force Can you name every player with 100 Champions League appearances? Tuesday's win in Paris extended Bayern's record for most consecutive wins at the start of the season across Europe's top five leagues to 16. They began their season with a trophy, beating Stuttgart to lift the German Super Cup on 16 August, and haven't looked back. Kompany's men sit top of the Bundesliga with a five-point lead after winning all nine games - scoring 33 and conceding just four - and have picked up a further four victories in the Champions League and two in the German Cup. "At 11 against 11, Bayern were stronger, without a doubt, " admitted PSG boss Luis Enrique. "You play against the best team in Europe, with the best results, and they pressed us at a high level. " Bayern have won each of their last five meetings in the Champions League against PSG, who have slipped to third in the standings. But PSG forward Khvicha Kvaratskhelia said: "We can't say after one game who is the best of the season - the results later will speak.

Bayern Munich are the team that have beaten Paris SG the most times in the UEFA Champions League, winning eight of their 14 meetings in the competition (L6). If the German side win here, they would also become the only team to have won three consecutive away matches against Paris SG in the Champions League (won the last two by 1-0 scorelines – April 2021 and February 2023). Paris SG have failed to score a single goal across their last four meetings with Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League; their longest run without scoring against an opponent in the competition. Across the four games, they have attempted a total of 40 shots and hit the target on 14 occasions without finding the net. This will be Bayern Munich’s first UEFA Champions League match against the previous season’s winners since a 2-2 draw with Real Madrid in May 2018; a result which saw them eliminated from the tournament at the semi-final stage (lost 4-3 on aggregate). Bayern are winless in their last five matches against the competition’s reigning champions (D1 L4), conceding at least two goals in each of them (13 conceded overall). Paris SG have won their last six matches in the UEFA Champions League, their joint best winning run in the competition – they also won their first six games in 1994-95 under Luis Fernandez. They haven’t won their fourth group match in any of the last four seasons, however (D2 L2). Bayern Munich are looking to win four consecutive UEFA Champions League matches for the first time since winning their first four in 2023-24, while the last time they netted three or more goals in four games in a row was between September and November 2021 under Julian Nagelsmann. Paris SG have scored more goals than any other team in this season’s UEFA Champions League (13), the most netted in a side’s first three games since Napoli scored 13 in 2022-23. The record for goals in a team’s first four matches is 17, achieved by Paris SG in 2017-18, Bayern Munich in 2021-22 and Napoli in 2022-23. Paris SG’s Achraf Hakimi has been directly involved in a goal in each of his last five UEFA Champions League appearances (two goals, three assists); the joint-longest run by a defender in the competition (since 1992-93), along with Marcelo for Real Madrid (April-October 2018) and Ian Harte for Leeds United (February-April 2001). Harry Kane could score in five consecutive UEFA Champions League appearances for the first time in his career (netted in each of last four – six goals), while only two other players have scored in five in a row in the competition as a Bayern Munich player (Arjen Robben in October 2013 and Robert Lewandowski on three different occasions). Paris SG’s Vitinha has completed 92. 4% of his passes made under high-intensity pressure in the UEFA Champions League this season (134/145); the highest of any player to attempt 100 across the first three matchdays. Indeed, he also leads all players for total passes completed under high-intensity pressure (134). Match ends, Paris Saint Germain 1, FC Bayern München 2.
