Bayern Munich edged out PSG 1-0 courtesy of a first-half strike from South Korean defender Kim Min-jae, who capitalised on an error from Matvei Safonov inside their penalty box and headed the ball into the net.

The French club have not won a Champions League game since the win over Girona in their season opener. The result against the Bundesliga giants left them in 26th place in the Champions League with just three games to go in the league stage. Manager Luis Enrique did not want to single out any particular individual for yet another defeat and instead offered a sarcastic quip.
WHAT LUIS ENRIQUE SAID
Speaking to Canal+, the former Barcelona and Spain boss said: "The responsibility is global, it’s on the whole team, for good or bad things. We shouldn’t look for culprits. We shouldn’t look for heroes or villains. There’s always this desire to look for someone to blame. If there’s someone to blame, it’s me. I’m responsible. There you go, you’ve found the culprit. From there, I accept all criticism."
