PSG knock holders Bayern out on away goals


Paris Saint-Germain knocked Bayern Munich out of the Champions League after a 1-0 win for the Bundesliga side was not enough as the French champions progressed to the semi-finals on away goals.

In another elite encounter that followed on from an entertaining first leg which PSG won 3-2 in Germany, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting’s goal (40), which came against the run of play after Neymar had hit the post and bar, put Bayern just one goal away from qualification.

PSG could have crumbled, knowing they’ve only made one Champions League semi-final since 1995, but Mauricio Pochettino’s team were resolute in defence to see out the result.

The French side will face either Manchester City or Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals.
