With Nuno Mendes starting, PSG lose to Sporting’s Champions League rival | OneFootball

Bayern Munich, Sporting's opponent in the Champions League, asserted its authority over PSG, and ended up winning 2-1 in Paris last Tuesday, November 4th, in a match valid for the fourth round of the prestigious competition.

The European champions reached halftime leading by two goals, both scored by Luis Díaz, who, nevertheless, was sent off before the break after a harsh foul on Hakimi - who left the field in tears.

In the second half, PSG - with Nuno Mendes, a player trained at Alvalade, in the starting eleven - tried to react, and João Neves reduced the score to 2-1 in the 74th minute, finishing a good individual play inside the Bavarian area, but the Parisians' effort proved insufficient to avoid defeat.

Sporting will also face Bayern Munich, but only in the sixth round of the Champions League. The Lions' visit to Germany is scheduled for December 9th, with the kickoff at 5:45 PM.

At this point, the Bavarian team leads the prestigious competition's standings, with 12 points, having only victories in the four matches played. The Lions, on the other hand, occupy - provisionally - the tenth position, with a total of seven points gathered.
