Bayern didn’t stop their pressing game and got one back through a Chupo-Moting header before Muller also found net with a header in the 60th minute from superb delivery by Joshua Kimmich. Keylar Navas had a great outing keeping the visitors in game with crucial saves. Bayern though could have done better especially in finishing after creating a lot of chances. The absence of Robert Lewandowski proved to be a key reason for that.
Mbappe scored the winner slotting it past Neuer into the bottom corner helping PSG gain an advantage when they meet for the second-leg next week.
