Paris's U19 men shine against Bayern
Youth football•
Paris Saint-Germain's U19 men secured a resounding 3-0 victory over their Bayern Munich counterparts at PSG Campus today (Matchday 4 of the league phase of the 2025–2026 UEFA Youth League).
After picking up one point from their tricky trips to Barcelona and Leverkusen on the previous two matchdays, Les Parisiens returned to PSG Campus today for a clash with Bayern Munich on Matchday 4 of the UEFA Youth League. Having impressed with a 4-1 win over Atalanta in their only home game of the current European campaign so far, Les Titis were once again looking forward to drawing upon the support of their fans – who had turned out in force for this match – to get a result against the Bavarians, who were just one point behind the capital club in the UYL standings at kick-off.
James, Boly, Kamara, Lucea, Cordier, Diyinu Nzinga, Abo El Nay, Chtai Telamio (Idder, 81'), Ayari (Nsoki, 64'), Jangeal, Ly (Luvambano, 74').
At a raucous PSG Campus packed with ultras, our U19 men enjoyed a superb first half, converting their first chance early on thanks to some superb work from Adam Ayari to play in Mathis Jangeal, who beat his man and then slotted past the Bavarian keeper (1-0, 4'). While their German counterparts failed to respond, Les Rouge et Bleu continued to press forward, with Jangeal leading the charge.
The latest addition to the long list of Titis who have signed professional contracts with Paris Saint-Germain is a credit to the capital club's academy, which celebrates its 50th birthday today. After seeing his 39th-minute attempt shave the Bavarian post, the youngster forced Leon Klanac into two saves just before half time (44', 45'), narrowly missing out on a brace.
After the break, the boundless ambition of Les Rouge et Bleu remained unchanged. Jangeal was once again involved in all the best moves, hitting the Bavarian post (47') and then setting up Adam Ayari perfectly on the counter-attack, but he was unable to find the target. It was ultimately a solo effort from Elijah Ly that provided the second breakthrough. On the left wing, the Parisian forward took advantage of the lack of marking to cut inside and unleash a splendid strike from outside the box that caught the Munich goalkeeper off guard (2-0, 50').
The margin could have been widened even further twenty minutes before the end of the match thanks to a penalty won by Noah Nsoki, but Jangeal was denied by Leon Klanac (68'). The Bavarian goalkeeper showed a serious improvement in the second half and even managed to save a second Parisian penalty in the dying moments of the match (89'). Not helped by his defence, the German U19 international finally conceded a third penalty, this time converted by Younes Idder in added time (3-0, 90'+6). Solid in defence and inspired in attack, the Espoirs secured their second win in this league phase of the UEFA Youth League and did the academy proud on this symbolic day for the academy.
Les Parisiens will return to competitive action on Friday 14th November with a trip to Nantes on Matchday 2 of the Challenge Espoirs competition. In the UYL, meanwhile, Jean-François Vulliez's side will take on Tottenham Hotspur at 14:30 CET on Wednesday 26th November in what promises to be an exciting clash at PSG Campus.
