Important victory in the UEFA Champions League
Bayern Munich defeats PSG

Bayern Munich's women's football side continues their unbeaten run in the UEFA Champions League.
The German champions secured a deserved 2-1 victory (2-0 at half time) away at Paris Saint-Germain, claiming their second win in four matches.
The Munich side took the lead through an own goal by PSG goalkeeper Katarzyna Kiedrzynek in the 29th minute, with Germany international Klara Bühl extending the advantage in the 40th minute before the break.
After the restart, Paulina Dudek scored from the penalty spot in the 65th minute for the hosts to reduce the deficit.
Bayern Munich on course for quarterfinals
In the league phase standings, Bayern Munich's women occupy second place with eight points following their successful performance at the Parc des Princes, at least overnight. The four best teams of 18 qualify directly for the quarterfinals, with clubs finishing fifth through twelfth competing in a playoff round for the remaining four spots. Before Christmas, the Munich side must travel to Austria Vienna and host league leaders Barcelona at home.
The squad, featuring returning player Bühl who had missed the previous two matches, delivered a strong performance in Paris, particularly in the first half. However, the French side contributed to the opening goal. Goalkeeper Kiedrzynek unfortunately deflected a low cross from Pernille Harder into her own net with her heel. Harder then provided the assist for the 2-0 goal, with Bühl finishing with a well-placed direct shot.
Following PSG's goal—Linda Dallmann was adjudged to have handled the ball in the penalty area—the visitors lost some control of the match. After a Dallmann goal was ruled out for offside, Bayern had to hold on until the final whistle to secure victory.
Gilles absence unfortunate before top match
Bayern Munich had to do without Vanessa Gilles due to a muscle injury. The 30-year-old defender's absence comes at an inconvenient time, as the Bundesliga top-of-the-table clash against VfL Wolfsburg awaits this weekend.
