This season's heavyweight matchup between arguably the two best teams in the world will see PSG meet high-flying Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes. Gonçalo Ramos' fifth goal of the season gave Luis Enrique's team a late victory over OGC Nice at home before the match.

In the meantime, Bayern Munich, led by Vincent Kompany, defeated Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 to begin the season with their 15th straight victory.

Many were worried about Dembélé before the game since he was experiencing muscle soreness, but the 2025 Ballon d'Or winner will be there from the beginning and will start at the top of his team's lineup alongside Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Fabian Ruiz returns to the starting lineup in midfield, where he will start on the bench and accompany Vitinha and Warren Zaire-Emery. In the end, Luis Enrique will try to stop the highly effective Harry Kane with his typical back four, which consists of Nuno Mendes, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, and Willian Pacho.

PSG loses to Bayern Munich and loses Dembélé and Hakimi.


Luis Diaz gave Bayern Munich the lead at the Parc des Princes within four minutes of their first opportunity. Olise's attempt, which Chevalier had initially saved, was flawlessly followed by the Colombian.

After fifteen minutes, the hosts were unable to generate any meaningful chances against a highly organised team that made things difficult for them and was threatening when they countered. After twenty-three minutes, Ousmane Dembélé appeared to have tied the score for both teams, but his attempt was disallowed for offside. Kang-In Lee, who appeared to be injured, replaced the Frenchman shortly after.

The biggest chance Paris had in the first half went to Bradley Barcola, but the France international lost to Neuer. Gnabry's attempt on the counter struck both posts, but the visitors continued to push on the door, and Luis Diaz gave Munich the lead when Marquinhos threw away the ball in front of his box (32'). The visitors had the upper hand toward the end of the first half and produced a lot of chances to extend their lead. After a vicious challenge on Achraf Hakimi in the last seconds of the first half, Luis Diaz was given a straight red card after a VAR check. Hakimi then departed the field with injuries.

The game's dynamic was altered by Luis Diaz's red card, as Paris gained the upper hand while Bayern sat far in front of their box for the opening twenty minutes of the second half. Despite this, the German team did not give up any big opportunities.

With a spectacular strike in the 74th minute, substitute Joao Neves cut the score and gave his team hope for a comeback in the final 15 minutes of play. Neves had a chance to win the game shortly after, but his header missed Neuer's left post instead. Vincent Kompany's team managed to win the game and earn their 16th consecutive victory of the season at the Parc des Princes in spite of all their late attempts.

On Matchday 12 of Ligue 1, McDonald's Paris will take on Lyon at the Groupama Stadium in an attempt to recover from their first European defeat of the year.

MIKEL ARTETA’S ARSENAL MILESTONE: CHAMPIONS LEAGUE RECORD NOW SET

Mikel Arteta boasts the best Champions League win percentage (64%) for any English club manager after 20+ games. His leadership has restored Arsenal as a European force since their 2023 return.

Mikel Arteta has had an incredible trip as manager of Arsenal, and the Spaniard is still regarded as one of the most prestigious people in contemporary football. After being hired as a rookie manager in 2019, Arteta has made a significant impact on the game by turning the Gunners into a formidable force in Europe and at home.

With great leadership and a clear tactical philosophy, Arteta painstakingly rebuilt the team after inheriting a club that was looking for stability and identity. His ideology has produced a team that can compete at the top level by fusing offensive flair with disciplined organisation.

The Return of Arsenal to the European Elite
Arsenal had been out of Europe's top competition for six years until Arteta led them back into the Champions League in 2023. The Gunners have been one of the tournament's most outstanding sides since their comeback. They made it to the quarterfinals in their first season back, and the following year, they made it to the semi-finals. These accomplishments demonstrate the team's comeback under Arteta's leadership and their increasing self-assurance on the international scene.

Arsenal has consistently advanced in Europe thanks to a mix of squad depth, tactical experience, and a steadfast faith in the manager's philosophy. The squad is a formidable opponent that can equal any team in the competition because of its ability to adjust and change under duress. The secret to maintaining this calibre of play has been Arteta's attention to detail and his capacity to motivate players.

The Record-Breaking Impact of Arteta


Beyond his on-field accomplishments, Arteta has shaped Arsenal into one of the most ambitious teams in contemporary sport. His current campaign further solidifies his reputation as one of the world's top coaches, which has been established by his managerial development.

With Arsenal's victory over Slavia Prague, according to TNT, Arteta has now won 64% of his Champions League games, making him the manager with the best win percentage for an English club after at least 20 games. This figure demonstrates his exceptional tactical awareness and consistency.

Although Arsenal fans will be proud of this accomplishment, their ultimate goal is to watch the team win the Champions League trophy at the end of the current campaign. But for Arteta, every game remains a milestone in his development as a top manager and a representation of Arsenal's unwavering aspirations.

ANFIELD NIGHTMARE: MADRID FANS MISFIRE BLAME ON WRONG STAR

A poor team performance saw Real Madrid fall 1-0 to Liverpool at Anfield. Eduardo Camavinga was at fault for the goal, playing Alexis Mac Allister onside in a disappointing night for Xabi Alonso's side.

Real Madrid will not have a quick look back at that performance. They suffered their second defeat of the season under Xabi Alonso as they fell to Liverpool at Anfield Stadium.

Real Madrid supporters may contend that the defeat to Liverpool was even more humiliating than the defeat in their own city, even if the margins of defeat were (much) smaller than those in the Madrid Derby.

This is because Real Madrid never seemed to have a chance to win. Liverpool had the advantage from the beginning and had the opportunity to penalise Real Madrid considerably more than they did.

Thibaut Courtois actually saved Real Madrid this evening. If Madrid had won, we could have shouted that sentence, but since we lost, we will have to murmur it instead.

Who was Real Madrid's weakest player, if Courtois was their best? Well, truly, you can choose.

When Real Madrid played Liverpool, Eduardo Camavinga was their poorest player.
Arda Güler was awful tonight, if you were to base your football beliefs only on what you read online. To be truthful, he was, but he was not even the worst player at Real Madrid.

Although Eduardo Camavinga would not brag about being Real Madrid's poorest player, he would at least accept responsibility for it and work to improve in the following match.

Camavinga was a full-back for the majority of the game, despite his belief that he would be playing on the right flank tonight. Camavinga was pinned back more times than he would have liked by Florian Wirtz, who really turned it on for Liverpool tonight.

Only three of the eight duels that Camavinga tried ended in victory. Despite having a 91% completion rate, he did very little in the last part of the game.

Camavinga gave a terrible lesson tonight, albeit it might not have been his fault. He was prohibited from doing everything he attempted to do in the game.

However, Real Madrid lost the game because of the one factor that it could influence. Camavinga was the one who sent Alexis Mac Allister onside for Liverpool's lone goal.

You can tell how narrow the margins were by looking at the fact that the goal was sent to VAR for a possible offside. However, the innumerable replays made clear that Camavinga cost Real Madrid the match.
