Despite losing one-nil to the German side, Paris St. Germain qualifies for the Semifinal of the UEFA Champions League, where they await the winner between Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern Munich dominated the interesting encounter and was able to break the French inexperienced defense line, with a Choupo-Moting header.

Neymar hit the woodwork twice in the first half, also losing a couple of chances to put the French side ahead, with Kylian Mbappe relatively quiet in this encounter.

Hansi Flick's team suffered its first defeat in the Champions League, last Wednesday when Mbappe scored a brace and another goal from the PSG's captain ensured they left Allianz Arena with a 3-2 victory. Obviously, Bayern Munich missed their sensational striker, Robert Lewandowski, who has been ruled out for 4-5 weeks with a knee injury. With an attack spearheaded by Choupo-Moting, flanked by Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman, the Bayern side tried all they could to get an early goal but were denied on several occasions by Keylor Navas.

Bayern Munich will turn their attention to the Bundesliga, where they will be aiming to win for a record ninth time, as a consolation for their exit in the Champions League and not being able to defend the title.

Neymar will have to put this night behind him and pick himself up for their French Ligue one fight with the likes of Losc Lille and AS Monaco. Bayern Munich could have forgotten about a comeback in the first half had Neymar not be denied by the goal post and the German goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer.

PSG will be looking forward to knowing their next opponent between Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund, who plays tomorrow night.
