Bayern Munich continued their perfect start to the season by defeating Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 in a heavyweight tilt between two of the competition's top contenders.
Luis Diaz scored both goals for Bayern in the first half before he was sent off for a wild tackle that forced PSG right-back Achraf Hakimi to leave the match. PSG also lost Ousmane Dembele to another injury.
PSG midfielder Vitinha called the contest a meeting between Europe's two "best teams" prior to the match, but it was Bayern that looked the part Tuesday in the French capital as they withstood PSG's comeback attempt while playing the entire second half with 10 men.
Midfielder Joao Neves pulled one back for the hosts after coming on from the bench but PSG failed to salvage one point eventually.
Bayern have now won all 16 of their matches across all competitions this season.

People thought PSG had a chance didn't watch when both teams met during CWC, injuries or not Bayern Munich was going to win. They're about to add Alphonsus Davies and Musiala to this Superteam, my goodness

I am begging to think that PSG were monumentally lucky last season to win the UCL. Their performance in the local league and in the UCL raises concerns.
