WHAT HAPPENED?

The match at Mercedes-Benz Stadium was tense from the start, with both teams missing early chances. The deadlock was finally broken in the 78th minute when Desire Doue scored for PSG after a clever pass from Joao Neves. Ousmane Dembele added a late second goal during stoppage time, sealing victory for PSG even after they went down to nine men due to two red cards: Willian Pacho in the 82nd minute and Lucas Hernandez in added time. Bayern suffered injuries to Josip Stanisic and Jamal Musiala in the first half, compounding their misery as their attack was held scoreless for the first time during their Club World Cup run. This match was also a farewell for Bayern legend Thomas Muller, who is leaving the club after his contract ends this summer, as Bayern Munich have agreed personal terms with Nick Woltemade on a five-year deal until June 2030.

KEY MOMENTS

PSG continue their impressive run after easily beating Inter Miami 4-0 in the previous round, showing strong form on both ends of the pitch. Gonzalo Garcia has been one of the stars of the tournament, currently leading as Club World Cup’s top scorer with four goals and one assist. On the other hand, Bayern came into the quarter-finals as Bundesliga champions and had enjoyed a convincing win over Flamengo, but were let down by injuries and lacked cutting edge in attack. They are now eliminated, marking an emotional exit for Muller from the club he served for over a decade.
