Neymar was guilty of one too many solo runs

In the reverse fixture, Bayern were guilty of wasting a number of chances to score. They took 16 shots and failed to score while PSG scored thrice from 5 shots on target.

In this game, the tables were turned. PSG had as many as 15 shots of which 8 were on target. And yet they scored only once. Bayern, however, had 4 shots on target and scored thrice.

The only reason Bayern were so clinical compared to PSG was because they made their chances count. PSG's forward line were looking to take risks in the final third which ultimately did not pay off.

Neymar was also guilty of trying to do everything on his own on more than one occasion. Heynckes wanted to shut him down like he did in 2013 and it worked.

On the other side of the pitch, Bayern were very patient in their build-up and did not resort to blind crosses into the box. They did not attempt risky passes unless there was an opening and they made their possession count.
