PSG’s Ousmane Dembele receives controversial red card against Bayern Munich (video)

Paris Saint-Germain has a mountain to climb against Bayern Munich after Ousmane Dembélé was sent off in the 57th minute.

PSG desperately needed a win at the start of their Champions League match against Bayern Munich. The French giants picked up just four points from their first four UCL games, suffering defeats to Arsenal and Atlético Madrid.

Already down by a goal at the Allianz Arena, Luis Enrique’s men came out of the dressing room looking for an equalizer but were quickly reduced to ten men. Dembélé received a second yellow card for a foul on Alphonso Davies, which referee Istvan Kovacs deemed a sending off.

Dembélé certainly caught Davies on the follow-up, but various replays showed the Frenchman winning the ball before Davies went down. Despite his protests, Dembélé’s evening ended early, leaving the struggling PSG team faltering for the remaining 30 minutes of the game.

The Frenchman received his first yellow card of the evening in the 37th minute for disagreements. His words to the referee ultimately cost his team a real chance to get back into the game.

Dembélé’s hunt for his first Champions League goal of the season will only resume after he serves his suspension against Red Bull Salzburg.
