Bayern stuns PSG in pre-season friendly
Published in The Egyptian Gazette on 22 - 07 - 2018

KLAGENFURT, Austria, July 22, 2018 (News Wires) - German champions Bayern Munich hit three second-half goals as they beat French titlists Paris Saint-Germain, 3-1, in their International Champions Cup (ICC) clash in Klagenfurt.
PSG were without their World Cup winners, but they did start Adrien Rabiot, who refused to serve as a reserve for the French squad. Bayern were without their legion of German internationals, despite the national team's early exit in Russia.
PSG had the best of the first half and took the lead with a 31st minute goal by American Timothy Weah, the 18-year-old son of African legend George Weah.Bayern dominated the second half and struck three times in 18 minutes.
Spaniard Javier Martinez opened the scoring past Gianluigi Buffon, the Italian veteran who joined PSG this summer.
Portuguese midfielder Renato Sanches and 17-year-old Dutch striker Joshua Zirkzee added the other two, after Buffon had gone off.
Bayern Munich coach Niko Kovac praised Sanches' performance in the 3-1 comeback. "I'm pleased for Renato who hasn't had an easy time here in Munich," he said late Saturday.
"But I saw immediately, on my first day, he's got a great body language. He's a top-quality player and I notice him unfreezing a little," he said.
"If he has the necessary self-confidence, he knows what he is capable of. When you give him the necessary self-confidence and recognition, then you can always perform well and his free kick was exceptional.
