Klara Bühl keeps finding a way against Paris Saint-Germain. The Germany winger scored Bayern Munich's second goal in Tuesday's 2-1 win at Parc des Princes, and according to UEFA she has now scored or assisted in five of her six Women's Champions League appearances against PSG, with two goals and three assists.
Harder made both goals
The two sides started the night level on five points. Bayern went ahead just before the half-hour mark, in the 29th minute, when Pernille Harder beat her defender on the right and cut the ball back, and PSG goalkeeper Katarzyna Kiedrzynek deflected it into her own net.
Harder was involved again in the 40th minute. Her pass sent Bühl through, and Bühl finished high from about 11 yards out to make it 2-0 at halftime. UEFA named Bühl player of the match.
The game was not one-sided in chances. BBC Sport's numbers had PSG with eight shots to Bayern's 10, but only three shots on target between the two teams: one for PSG and two for Bayern, with one of Bayern's goals coming off the goalkeeper.
VAR in both directions
Video review shaped both halves. According to Women's Eleven's match log, an early penalty for Bayern involving Bühl was cancelled after a VAR check. In the second half the review went PSG's way: after a short corner, Linda Dallmann blocked the ball with her hands, and referee Frida Klarlund Nielsen pointed to the spot, ZDF reported. Paulina Dudek scored the penalty in the 65th minute.
Bayern thought they had restored the two-goal lead in the 82nd minute when Dallmann finished into the far corner, but the flag went up for offside and the goal did not count. Bayern held on from there.
What it means for the table
The win moves Bayern up to second in the league phase with eight points, ahead of Chelsea on goal difference after Chelsea's 0-0 draw at Häcken. Bayern are unbeaten, and only the top four go straight to the quarterfinals, skipping the playoff round in February.
PSG, who had not lost in this league phase, stay on five points and sit ninth, in the playoff places. They had drawn at Real Madrid and Manchester City and beaten OH Leuven 5-0 before Tuesday.
Bayern's next two games will tell whether they can hold a top-four spot: Austria Wien on Nov. 19, then Barcelona on Dec. 16. If they meet PSG again later in the competition, Bühl's record suggests where PSG will need to focus first.
