Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 Bayern Munich: Highlights, man of the match, stats as European champions triumph in incident-packed quarter-final

Paris Saint-Germain have booked their spot in the semi-finals of the 2025 Club World Cup courtesy of a 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich in Saturday's blockbuster quarter-final.

The opening half of action was overshadowed by a severe ankle injury for Bayern's Jamal Musiala, with the Germany international seemingly now facing a lengthy period on the sidelines.

The opening goal of the match came in the 78th minute, with Desire Doue finding the bottom corner, but that was not the end of the major action in the last-eight affair.

Indeed, PSG finished with nine men due to red cards for Willian Pacho and Lucas Hernandez, before Ousmane Dembele netted a late second to send Luis Enrique's side into the semi-finals of the competition.

SPORTS MOLE'S VERDICT

Losing a quarter-final in a major competition is never on the agenda for Bayern, who are a winning machine, but they suffered an even bigger disappointment on Saturday due to the serious injury to Musiala.

The extent of the attacker's issue has not yet been disclosed, but it does appear that he will be spending a substantial amount of time on the sidelines, with his entire 2025-26 campaign in doubt.

Musiala is such a wonderful footballer and such a vital part of the Bayern machine, so that is the biggest blow for them in this match despite exiting the Club World Cup in the quarter-finals.

In truth, it was a match that could have gone either way between two excellent teams, but it was the outstanding Doue who came up with the game's opening goal before Dembele added a second.

PSG have now advanced to the second semi-final, and they will take on either Real Madrid or Borussia Dortmund in the final four ahead of a potential final against Chelsea or Fluminense.

MAN OF THE MATCH - DESIRE DOUE
