We knew it was going to be difficult, but honestly we weren\u2019t expecting this. We\u2019ll try to take the positives from this game because it was a really tough night. It\u2019s a good wake-up call. We were up against a very good team, we\u2019ll try to bounce back as quickly as possible,\u201d Barcola told RMC Sport (as captured by <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/iMiaSanMia\/status\/1985980899683360808\">@iMiaSanMia<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Barcola, who was closely linked to Bayern Munich last summer, was just one of quite a few PSG stars, who had a tough time matching the incredible energy and intensity of Bayern Munich in the first half. The game did eventually get closer after the red card to Luis D\u00edaz.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Even then, though, Bayern Munich\u2019s heart and fight were just too much for PSG to overcome.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Bayern Munich pulled out a wild 2-1 victory in a game that will be talked about quite a bit. So, why don\u2019t we kick it off.
