PSG's dreams of finishing in the top eight and avoiding the playoffs were all but dashed when the South Korean's performance was sufficient to decide the replay of the 2020 Champions League final, which Bayern won by an identical score. With 30 minutes left, Ousmane Dembele received a second yellow card for an excessive challenge, and Bayern was able to effectively close off the game.

With three games left, the French champions, who are in 26th place, two outside the playoff spots, are not certain to even make it to the knockout stages. In January, PSG will host Manchester City in addition to having to make difficult road journeys to Stuttgart and Red Bull Salzburg.

After the victory, which increased Bayern's streak of clean sheets to seven games in all competitions, their prospects of finishing in the top eight appear brighter. With three games left, Bayern will play relative European minnows Shakhtar Donetsk, Feyenoord, and Slovan Bratislava. Currently, they are in 11th place. Despite being in desperate need of points in Europe, both teams entered the match undefeated and six points ahead in their respective domestic divisions.
