- Messi quiet against Bayern
- PSG crashed out at last-16 stage
- Argentina star nearly taken out by fan
WHAT HAPPENED? The Argentina star barely threatened the Bayern goal all game as Christophe Galtier's side put in a sorry performance at the Allianz Arena. But things could have gone from bad to worse for Messi when a young pitch invader came up behind him and nearly floored him, were it not for the action of some stewards who tackled him just in time.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: All in all, it was a night to forget for the Ligue 1 side. Goals from Eric Choupo-Moting and Serge Gnabry made it 2-0 on the night and 3-0 on aggregate, while both Messi and strike partner Kylian Mbappe were kept quiet all game. The result means PSG crash out of at the last-16 stage of their second successive Champions League campaign, as their wait for European football's most coveted trophy goes on.
