Goals from Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Serge Gnabry saw Bayern Munich advance into the Champions League quarter-finals at the expense of an underwhelming Paris Saint-Germain.
The first half was a dull affair between two sides playing without risk. That was until Bayern goalkeeper Yann Sommer – signed in January after Manuel Neuer’s broken leg – tried and failed to beat Achraf Hakimi and gave the ball straight to Vitinha, who shot into what appeared to be an empty net, but Matthijs de Ligt slid in excellently to block it on the line.
Bayern thought they had the lead after the break when Choupo-Moting flicked on a cross into the net but the move was ruled offside after Thomas Muller attempted – seemingly unsuccessful – to get the final touch.
The Cameroon striker did not have to wait long for his goal, tapping home after Marco Verratti was dispossessed inside his own penalty area before Bayern worked the ball into the striker to score.
There was no response from the visitors, as Gnabry added a late second to seal the win.
