Paris Saint-Germain secured their passage to the Club World Cup semi-finals with a thrilling stoppage-time victory over Bayern Munich, thanks to Ousmane Dembélé’s late strike that sealed a 2-1 win. The French side trailed by one goal at halftime but staged an incredible comeback, with Dembélé scoring in the 95th minute to add to Désiré Doué’s opener in the 78th minute.
Bayern Munich suffered a devastating blow when goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma was left close to tears after breaking Jamal Musiala’s left ankle. However, PSG showed remarkable resilience and determination, with Dembélé again proving decisive in injury time.
The match had been an intense and chaotic affair, with both teams creating countless chances but neither able to find the back of the net until late on. PSG’s pass completion rate was well below normal levels, but they still posed a significant threat to Bayern’s goal, while the German side struggled to capitalize on their possession advantage.
The match’s momentum shifted in the second half, with PSG equalizing just before halftime and later taking the lead through Dembélé’s stunning strike. The victory marked a dramatic turn of events, as Bayern Munich were left disappointed and frustrated after their hopes of progress were dashed by an injury to key player Musiala.
