We play the 38th minute of this very tense round of 16 return between Bayern Munich and PSG. The score is blank and the meeting bitter. Paris has a little more control of the ball but, except for a center shot from Nuno Mendes, PSG are struggling to get very clear chances to score.
So, reluctantly, Yann Sommer, the Swiss goalkeeper of the Bavarians, will help the Parisians to be more bleeding. While he recovered, at the foot, the ball in his area, Sommer procrastinated too much and let two Parisian players come and press him. Especially Achraf Hakimi who comes to hinder, without committing a fault, his recovery. And it pays. Sommer misses his clearance on foot and offers the ball to Vitinha who was on the edge of the surface. The gift is unexpected because, at this moment, the goal seems wide open. Vitinha, with a sharp hook, erases Sommer completely panicked and, from the left, the Portuguese strikes hastily into the deserted goal.
At this moment, the whole Parisian camp can already see themselves raising their arms and celebrating the opening of the score. But it was without counting on the miraculous return of defender Matthijs De Ligt who, as soon as he saw his goalkeeper in difficulty, rushes towards his goal and pushes the ball back on his line. A failure from Vitinha or a magnificent save from the Dutchman, everyone will have their own opinion.
