PSG’s Ousmane Dembele receives a 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 came into the Champions League match against Bayern Munich in desperate need of a win. The French giants managed just four points in their opening four UCL matches, suffering defeats to Arsenal and Atlético Madrid along the way.

After just one goal in the Allianz Arena, Luis Enrique’s men came out of the dressing room looking for the equalizer, but soon there were only ten men left. Dembélé received a second yellow card for a challenge on Alphonso Davies that referee Istvan Kovacs deemed worthy of an exclusion.

Dembélé certainly caught Davies on the follow-through, but several replays showed the Frenchman winning the ball before Davies went to ground. Despite his protests, Dembélé’s night ended early, leaving a struggling PSG side down to a man for the remaining 30 minutes of the match.

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

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