Bayern take the advantage in first-leg tie

Choupo-Moting's first-half header proves decisive

Bayern Munich have taken a slender 1-0 advantage over Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League last-16 tie.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored the only goal of the game in the 53rd minute, heading home Kingsley Coman's cross from close range.

PSG had chances to equalize, but Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi both spurned good opportunities.

The result leaves Bayern in a strong position heading into the second leg in Munich on March 8.

Conclusion

Bayern Munich will be confident of securing their place in the quarter-finals when they host PSG in the second leg. The German champions have a strong home record in the Champions League, and they will be looking to make the most of their advantage.

PSG will need to score at least twice in Munich if they are to progress. The French champions have a good away record in the Champions League, but they will need to be at their best to overcome Bayern.
