Bayern Munich are into the Champions League quarter-finals for the fourth consecutive season after seeing off Paris Saint-Germain by a 3-0 aggregate score-line in the last 16. PSG, meanwhile, have failed to get past this stage for the fifth time in seven years. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored the killer goal against his former club, before substitute Serge Gnabry made certain of Bayern’s win in the final moments.
Here are the three PSG players who performed well despite their loss to Bayern
Danilo Pereira
Underrated, as always, he was reasonably solid for much of the game. However, the cracks appeared in the defense after Mukiele was forced off and the Portuguese was joined with Ramos by the inexperienced Bitshiabu.
Gianluigi Donnarumma
Before tonight’s game, Paris Saint-Germain was the only side left in the Champions League who haven’t kept a clean sheet in the competition this season, their much-maligned Italian ‘keeper was forced into making a meaningful save from Musiala after the half-hour mark. But he was caught in no man’s land and could do nothing to prevent Choupo-Moting’s go-ahead goal or Gnabry’s late effort.
Sergio Ramos
It was the sort of performance you would have expected the veteran to deliver. He made some great interceptions at the back while he won a few aerial battles at key moments and tested Sommer in the second half. Also flashed another header wide late on.
