PSG looked to make the most of the home game as they attempted two close shots with David de Gea producing exceptional saves to deny the Parisians. In the 20th minute, Man United were awarded a spot-kick after Anthony Martial was brought down by defender Abdou Diallo. 

Bruno Fernandes, the captain of the night, saw his penalty saved by Keylor Navas, only for him to score it from a retake. Notably, Navas had stepped beyond the goal-line, leading to the retake.

This took their tally to 9 own goals in the Champions League, the most by any other side in the competition.
