Nagelsmann tactical masterclass wins through
Knowing they had a one goal lead from the first leg, Julian Nagelsmann set his side out brilliantly today.
The first half tactics of being rough but fair in their challenges on Lionel Messi and giving him no time on the ball at all, really cut off the supply for Kylian Mbappe with Neymar absent.
When the opportunity presented itself, they came forward, looking to get that sucker-punch to really hurt the visitors.
Into the second half, where PSG had to through caution to wind more, Bayern picked them off and scored two goals to top off as very comfortable victory over the two legs.
Bayern Munich the team to avoid
When Julian Nagelsmann made his substitutions this evening, it really underpinned the depth of quality in this Bayern squad.
Bringing on the likes of Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry and Sadio Mane from the bench is the sort of dilemma a team like PSG would now dream of.
The balance of power shifted this evening and it will take more than just changing the manager for something to change with the Paris outfit.
Constantly left wanting on the biggest stage, it is a case of déjà vu for the French.

Of all the players to prevent the visitors having a sniff of goal tonight, Dayot Upamecano put in a stellar performance.
Kylian Mbappe looked lively in the opening stages of the game but from that moment onwards the young French defender bossed him.
