PSG crumbled at the Allianz Arena, conceding two second-half goals while Kylian Mbappe watched on helpless from the other end of the pitch.

Why should Kylian Mbappe stay now? On Wednesday's evidence, there's not much to keep the France star at Paris Saint-Germain next year.

The Parisians never really found a foothold in the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie with Bayern Munich, exiting the competition with a whimper as the far more collected Bavarians strolled to a comfortable 2-0 home win, and 3-0 aggregate victory.

Needing to beat Bayern at the Allianz Arena, PSG had some ideas in the first half, and created the best opportunity of the opening period. Vitinha should have handed his team the lead after being gifted the ball inside the box with an open goal gaping, but Matthijs De Ligt slid in to clear the ball off the line.

Bayern built on the solid first half and enjoyed a far more clinical second. They found the opener after 61 minutes, with Leon Goretzka stripping Marco Verratti inside the PSG box before feeding a wide open Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who couldn't miss from close range.

The home side saw off a series of tepid PSG attacks before adding a second in stoppage time, as Serge Gnabry added the finishing touch to a fluid counter-attack.

And that was all Bayern needed. PSG were lifeless and short of ideas, losing in the last 16 for the fifth time in the last seven years.

This was their tryout to keep their star player, who could force a move this summer or next. After this loss, it's hard to think of a reason for Mbappe to stick around.

GOAL breaks down the winners & losers from the Allianz Arena…

GettyWINNER: Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting

How does one go from being relegated with Stoke to turning in a more impactful showing than Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi in a Champions League knockout win? It's certainly not a path well-trodden.

The Choupo-Moting case is a curious one. But he's quietly become a handy striker this year. And he was at it again here.

His goal wasn't a particularly complicated one – a side-footed finish into an open goal. It rippled the net nonetheless and effectively sealed his side's place in the last eight.

His influence expanded beyond his composure in front of goal, though. Choupo-Moting was a real handful throughout, offering a clear out ball for when Bayern needed to play long. He was unafraid to compete with Sergio Ramos in the air – and often came out on top.

He exited the game after 68 minutes, with the pacier Leroy Sane entering the fold. Still, Choupo-Moting strolled to the bench knowing he had done exactly what had been asked of him.

Mbappe stuck around for THIS?!

When the French striker penned a massive contract prior to the 2022-23 season, he did so on the promise of Champions League glory. With Mbappe at the helm and Lionel Messi and Neymar half a rung below him, the Parisians were supposed to mount a serious European challenge.

And after a gargantuan salary, unprecedented player power and a series of shrewd signings, this is the best PSG could do.

They were, perhaps, unfortunate to come up against a Bayern side just rounding into form. The Bavarians were excellent on Wednesday, defending diligently and picking their moments to go for it in attack.

But PSG are supposed to offer counterpunches, and deal with the top teams. Instead, they were outclassed.

A lot of the talk leading up to the game was centered around how Bayern could stop Mbappe. In the end, there wasn't much to stop. But as the star man fed off scraps all evening, it's hard to pin any blame on him.

Here was a battle of two managers on opposing trajectories.

One looked composed, tactically astute and in control.

The other was Christophe Galtier.

Nagelsmann managed Bayern with aplomb on Wednesday, setting up his team perfectly to ease to a classy win. He ensured that Mbappe was never left one-on-one, and clearly told his team to swarm Messi every time he was on the ball.

And it all worked swimmingly. PSG never drummed anything up in the attacking third, their best efforts coming off one fluke giveaway and a couple of Sergio Ramos headers.

At the other end, Bayern were simply more incisive. The first goal was the result of a well-executed press, with Goretzka dispossessing the usually steady Verratti. And the second came from a well-worked break, Bayern simply sauntering down the pitch to put away their opposition for good.

It is unclear how far the Bavarians will go in the competition; PSG simply aren't among the competition's elite anymore.

But Nagelsmann is a shrewd coach leading a well-drilled team. And that should be enough to facilitate a run. Regardless of how far they go, there's clearly something to work with here, too.

GettyLOSER: Christophe Galtier

Every PSG manager is judged by their ability to win in Europe.

Coaches have been brought in because they've succeeded at it, and fired when they fail. It's what's seen managers such Unai Emery and Thomas Tuchel hired and then spat out of the PSG machine.

And it now seems like Galtier will be the next victim. It's tricky to pin this defeat on the manager. He set up his team with a solid base and tried to get the most out of his big hitters. For the most part, he put the right players, in the right positions, in the best system.

But he was simply outcoached by a more tactically proficient and versatile side. Can he really be faulted for that?

Chances are, PSG will find a way to blame him – and probably ship him out. Galtier is a good manager who will win PSG Ligue 1 with some ease.

But he wasn't hired for domestic success. The remit of his job was to win games like this. And with this defeat, it's hard to see a world in which he's still standing on the Parc des Princes sideline next year.
