  Marquinhos - 6, Showed intelligence with his play, putting in a good tackle on Choupo-Moting and taking up a good position to cut out Leroy Sane’s pass. Headed straight at Yann Sommer from a promising position. AP

• 

  Nuno Mendes - 6, Matched Choupo-Moting’s header well but showed a lack of awareness to leave Coman wide open for the goal. Made some good bursts forward but was agonisingly offside before teeing up Kylian Mbappe for his disallowed goal. AFP

Kingsley Coman fired Bayern Munich to a 1-0 Champions League first-leg win at Paris St Germain on Tuesday.

The former PSG youngster volleyed a deserved winner for the German champions, who dominated until the latter stages when Kylian Mbappe came off the bench.

Just before the break, PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma got down well to hold Joshua Kimmich’s low drive.

The goal arrived in the 53rd minute when Paris-born Coman drifted unmarked into the box from wide on the right and hit a cushioned volley underneath goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Mbappe, a substitute after recovering from injury, twice had the ball in the net late on as PSG rallied, but both goals were ruled out for offside.

Bayern’s Benjamin Pavard will miss the second leg after he was sent off for a second booking for bringing down Lionel Messi in stoppage time.
