A first-half header from Kim Min-jae guided Bayern Munich to a 1-0 home win over Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday, damaging the French side’s hopes of progressing in the Champions League.

The center-back scored after an error from PSG goalkeeper Matvei Safonov, starting ahead of Gianluigi Donnarumma, who spilled the ball into Kim’s path.

The South Korean’s effort was enough to decide the rematch of the 2020 Champions League final — won by Bayern by the same scoreline — and all but extinguished PSG’s hopes of a top-eight finish and avoiding the playoff round.

Ousmane Dembele picked up a second yellow for an unnecessary challenge with half an hour remaining, with Bayern successfully shutting up shop as a result.

With just three games remaining, even making the knockouts is not a given for the French champions, who are in 26th spot — two outside the playoff placings.

PSG host Manchester City in January along with facing tricky away trips to Red Bull Salzburg and Stuttgart.

Bayern’s top-eight hopes look rosier after the win, which extended their run of clean sheets to seven straight games in all competitions.

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany praised his defenders, saying: “At training, you can see it was no fun for our strikers.

Bayern now sit 11th and take on relative European minnows Shakhtar Donetsk, Feyenoord, and Slovan Bratislava in their remaining games.
