Manchester United unbeaten record in the Uefa Champions League remained intact after Bayern Munich lost 3-2 at home to Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.
The Bundesliga giants were on the verge of matching United’s record of 20 games but fell to their first defeat since March 2019 to end a run of 19 games which saw them secure 18 wins and one draw.
Bayern started the encounter on the back foot allowing the Parisians to dominate the opening 30 minutes and paid for it as Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring as early as the third minute after a fine combination with Neymar.
Marquinhos then doubled PSG’s lead after benefitting from another Neymar assist in the 28th minute of the encounter.
Eric Choupo-Moting reduced the deficit for Bayern in the 37th minute when he headed the ball home after he was set up by Benjamin Pavard.
Thomas Mueller then levelled proceedings for the Allianz Arena’s outfit in a similar manner with Choupo-Moting.
Hansi-Flick’s men made several efforts to try and avoid defeat at home but Mbappe scored in the 68th-minute after benefitting from Angel Di Maria’s assist to hand his side a sure victory.
The defeat on the night meant United holds the record for the longest unbeaten run in the Uefa Champions League.
The Red Devils reached two consecutive finals and won one in 2008 before losing 2-0 to Barcelona in 2009 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome thanks to goals from Samuel Eto’o and Lionel Messi.
United won nine and drew four before losing to Barcelona as part of the unbeaten run of 20 games at the time.
