At dawn on Wednesday (27), German giants Bayern Munich edged past Ligue 1 rivals Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) 1-0 with a goal from South Korean defender Min-Ja Kim, as PSG slipped further into the knockout zone, but the club's president, Ekarinhoa, gave coach Anriki a "no-fire medal" after the match. However, the club's president, Ekarinha, gave coach Anriki a "get out of jail free card" after the match, showing that Anriki's position is still secure even after the end of the UEFA Europa League campaign.
While this summit clash wasn't exactly a close one, the highlights only came in the form of a goal-scoring moment in the 38th minute. Bayern created havoc in front of the goal with a corner kick attack, which was cleverly put into the net by Minjae Kim.PSG tried to fight back in the second half, but the PSG's fighting spirit seemed to be rekindled when Oswin Dibili was ejected in the 57th minute for two yellow cards and a red card. With just four points from five games this year, PSG are in the knockout zone and face a worrying prospect for the final three rounds of Europa League matches against Salzburg (away), Manchester City (home) and Stega (away).
After the game, Anriki said, "In the first half, we struggled to get into the rhythm of the game and to adapt to Bayern's pressure. Things improved in the second half, but Dibili's red card cost me my only chance, but the players showed great responsibility." And PSG president Ekka Richelieu had already hinted before the game that Anriki would stay regardless of the UEFA Europa League result: "Anriki will stay regardless of the UEFA Europa League result. The team is in a rebuilding period and needs time, I am proud of this team."
