Bayern Munich secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Paris St-Germain in the Champions League, with Kim Min-jae scoring the winning goal to boost their hopes of a top-eight finish.

Bayern Munich secured a crucial victory over Paris St-Germain, boosting their chances of a top-eight finish in the league phase. The win marked PSG's continued struggles in the Champions League, with their last win dating back to September.

Kim Min-jae scored the decisive goal seven minutes before halftime, heading home from close range after PSG goalkeeper Matvey Safonov failed to clear Joshua Kimmich's corner.

PSG's Ousmane Dembele was sent off in the second half for a late challenge on Alphonso Davies, his second bookable offense. Dembele had already received a yellow card in the first half for arguing with referee Istvan Kovacs.

Matvey Safonov made a spectacular fingertip save to deny Jamal Musiala's effort, preventing Bayern from doubling their lead. However, Kim Min-jae's header proved sufficient for the six-time Champions League winners.

Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich earned a well-deserved victory, dominating possession at the Allianz Arena. The win marked a return to form for the Bundesliga leaders, who had suffered back-to-back defeats to Aston Villa and Barcelona.

Bayern Munich started strongly, with Jamal Musiala going close to scoring in the seventh minute. Musiala collected Joshua Kimmich's pass into the penalty area but shot straight at Matvey Safonov.

PSG had opportunities to score, but failed to capitalize. Warren Zaire-Emery wasted a chance from Fabian Ruiz's cutback, and Ousmane Dembele forced a fine save from Manuel Neuer in the first half. PSG's inability to convert their chances ultimately proved costly.
