Bayern Munich easily advanced to the Champions League quarterfinals while sending Paris St. Germain out of the competition yet again.
Just after the hour mark, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting scored for the hosts against his former team, and late-arriving substitute Serge Gnabry added the finishing touches to a polished performance.
The Ligue 1 champions and their under-fire head coach Christophe Galtier once again failed miserably as PSG was ousted from the league at this stage in five of their previous seven seasons.
A VAR ruling and an offside flag disallowed an earlier Choupo-Moting header and Sadio Mane’s stoppage-time effort, saving the Parisians from the shame of a four or five-goal aggregate defeat despite having a star-studded lineup.
While defending a one-goal lead from the first leg and fending off the combined menace of Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, six-time European champions Bayern had started the evening on edge.
While PSG’s star forward line intermittently threatened early on, neither was afforded enough time or space to cause any real damage to a disciplined and effective Bayern team, who won easily.
The winning German team’s only real worry came in the opening period and was fully preventable.
Goalie Yann Sommer gave visiting midfielder Vitinha an open goal after being fouled by Achraf Hakimi, but Matthijs de Ligt produced a brilliant sliding save for the home team.
On March 17 in Nyon, Switzerland, the competition’s final eight are drawn.
