Mbappe opened the scoring early on after a Neymar pass. Bayern Munich goalkeeper, Neuer did not get a firm hold on the 22 year old Frenchman's shot. Neymar got his second assist of the match after he played an upthrough ball for Marquinhos to stab home the second goal of the encounter.
The goal brought Bayern Munich back to life and they responded with two changes and a goal from Choupo-Moting to half the deficit entering into the half time break.
The second half started how the first half ended as Bayern Munich controlled the proceedings and where rewarded with an equaliser via Muller's head as he lost his marker when Kimmich played a pin point freekick.
The remainder of the match was more of end to end football. As the current UCL champions pressed forward for a winning goal, anytime the attack broke down, the away side countered in numbers. This was the way the winning goal was scored, Mbappe used Bayern Munich defenders as cover to strike the ball into Manuel Neuer's near post.
Bayern Munich without star striker, Lewandowski will prepare for their Bundesliga match at home to Union Berlin while PSG will continue the failing attempt at retaining their Ligue 1 title with a trip to face Strasbourg.
Pochettino will be sweating concerning the injury to defender Marquinhos. The Brazilian left the pitch on the half hour mark in what seems to be a thigh complaint.
