With a 2-1 victory over Paris Saint-Germain away from home thanks to Luis Diaz’s two goals and red card, Bayern Munich have won 16 of their 16 games this season, underlining their status as early UEFA Champions League favorites.
On the stroke of half-time, the Colombian winger struck twice on Tuesday before being sent off for a violent tackle against Achraf Hakimi.

After the break, PSG dominated possession but failed to make it count, falling to their first defeat in the competition since last season’s quarterfinal second leg defeat Aston Villa.
With the early replacement of Hakimi and Ousmane Dembele, Bayern remained top of the 36-team league with a maximum of 12 points, PSG in third, three points adrift, and with more injury concerns.
The most important thing I hope isn’t too bad for Hakimi. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany stated at a press conference that we had this experience with [Jamal] Musiala] at the Club World Cup in the United States.
“I always tell players to believe what there is when there is some hype.” We’ve won 16, but it’s going to be back to zero starting tomorrow. Today, no one has captured the Champions League.
The PSG counterpart, Luis Enrique, echoed that sentiment, saying, “Today’s standings are meaningless. February, March, April, and May are all important.
“It’s always difficult to lose at home,” he said. We must be more assertive and creative. A well-organized team, especially physically, was on hand. Marquinhos, the PSG captain, said, “We couldn’t get our game going.”
“This match has some positives to take away,” he said. The team continues to be ambitious, but we must improve. They were more superior to us. We were in control in the second half, but it came after the red card.
In the 32nd minute, Diaz of Bayern Munich scores the second goal.
Ten-man Bayern are on pace for a dramatic victory.
Dembele made his Champions League debut, but Lee Kang-in took the place of him after 25 minutes.
PSG, who had defeated Bayern 2-0 in the Club World Cup quarterfinals in July, came out strong with their signature high pressing, but Lucas Chevalier’s effort was denied by Diaz in the fourth minute.
Dembele initially thought he had leveled midway through the half, but PSG struggled and looked unusually fragile at the back, where his goal was later ruled out for offside.
Bradley Barcola, who had a precise long ball from Fabian Ruiz, was denied by Manuel Neuer moments later in a spectacular save.
After Serge Gnabry hit the post, Diaz slammed on a sleepy Marquinhos to steal the ball and fire a second home in the 32nd minute.
Diaz abruptly missed half-time when he was shown a straight red card for a brutal lunge at Hakimi, who had a rumored ankle injury.
PSG had a number of long-range possession opportunities in the second half, but they didn’t have a cutting edge until the 74th minute when substitute Neves cut the deficit with a spectacular scissor kick from Lee’s cross.
Neves almost equalized a few minutes later with a header as PSG’s pressure increased. Bayern stayed put despite the hosts’ late ruckus.

In a counterattack against Republican-controlled gerrymandering, California has passed a ballot measure that will redraw the boundaries of congressional districts in favor of Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections.
In what was seen as a significant victory for Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, early results from Tuesday’s vote showed that voters had a two-to-one margin to support Proposition 50, increasing his party’s chances of taking control of the US Congress in the upcoming election and thus halting Trump’s agenda.

Democrats could win up to five additional House seats with the passage of the legislation, compared to the five that Texas Republicans are considering replacing after Trump pressured them to redraw their own maps. Republicans anticipate that new maps in Ohio and Missouri will add one seat, possibly two, to the mix.
Trump yelled out a furious response to Newsom’s protest. On Tuesday, he wrote on his social media platform Truth Social that the entire process, especially the Voting itself, is a GIANT SCAM.
Newsom rebuffed his criticism, calling the Republican response the “ramblings of an old man who knows he’s about to LOSE,” saying that he is putting his claim to the presidency of the Democratic Party ahead of the 2028 presidential election on his willingness to stand up to Trump. He claimed that voters had “sent a powerful message” to Trump in X after the victory.

The elections of 2026, 2028, and 2030 will use the new district boundaries. The electoral map is based on the population there and is typically created by an independent commission following a national census that is conducted every ten years. Most parties in power actually rejigger the boundaries.
In some cases, the recast districts combine rural, traditionally conservative areas of northern California with Marin County, a renownedly liberal coastal stronghold across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco.
The proposal was intended to counteract Trump’s efforts to erode democracy, according to Newsom, who had attempted to nationalize the campaign. An angry Trump was depicted in a television campaign throwing French fries at the TV as he watched the results.
Barack Obama, the former president, backed the decision. Republicans want to rig the next election by snub a seat in Congress, according to one advertisement. You can stifle Republican sentiment.
Critics claimed that a wrong does not equal a right. Even if Californians have reservations about Trump’s actions in Republican-led states, they urged Californians to reject what they perceive as a Democratic power grab.
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the former Republican governor who had overseen the establishment of the independent commission, was one of the most well-known critics.
At least 67 people have been killed in US attacks on boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific since early September, according to US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who also killed two people in a separate attack on a vessel in the Pacific.
Hegseth claimed in a post on social media late on Tuesday that the most recent vessel attacked was involved in “illicit narcotics smuggling,” despite legal experts’ claims that these attacks constitute extrajudicial killings, even if the victims are suspected of drug trafficking.

Hegseth claimed that US forces attacked the vessel in “international waters in the Eastern Pacific” at the president’s request and that it was “transiting along a known narco-trafficking route” and “carrying narcotics.”
Hegseth did not provide any details about drug trafficking, but a quick aerial video of the attack showed what appeared to be a ship floating in water before being hit by a missile and bursting into flames and smoke.
The video was edited by the US military to prevent viewers from seeing the vessel’s occupants.
“We will locate and destroy EVERY vessel with the intention of bringing drugs into the country to obliterate our citizens.” Our top priority is always going to be protecting the homeland, Hegseth stated in a post on X in addition to the video.
At least 17 vessels have been targeted by US military strikes since early September, including 16 boats and a semi-submersible, but the Trump administration hasn’t made any public proof that its targets were smuggling narcotics or posed a threat to the country.
Governments and victims’ families in Latin America have condemned the strikes and accused Washington of killing primarily fishermen, while both the Republican and Democratic Party lawmakers have demanded more information about the legal justification for US actions in international waters.
Volker Turk, the head of the UN’s human rights office, demanded last week that the US stop its attacks and “prevent the extrajudicial killing of people aboard these boats.”
The USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier is a part of a US military effort to combat alleged drug cartels that are threatening the US as it learns about the latest killings.
Venezuela’s president Nicolas Maduro has accused the US of using its most recent “war on drugs” as a pretext to remove him from power. He is accused of being involved in drug trafficking.
Trump was questioned about how many years Maduro’s presidency had been up for him during an interview that aired on the US CBS channel on Sunday.
“Yes, I would say. Yes, I believe so, the president said.
However, he did not respond to a query regarding his intention to launch strikes inside Venezuela.
Following drone sightings that forced two major airports to temporarily suspend operations as a security precaution, Belgium’s air traffic was severely impacted.

Both airports halted operations for an hour before reopening at 9 p.m. (20 GMT), which RTBF reported was to close at 10 p.m. (21:00 GMT) after a second sighting. At 11 p.m. (22:00 GMT), both airports resumed normal operations.
In a notice posted on the airport’s website, Brussels Airport stated that the shutdowns may still have an impact on Wednesday’s air traffic.
Flight operations at Brussels Airport were suspended for safety reasons, according to the notice. This disruption has caused delays and some flight cancellations, and it may still have an impact on Wednesday morning flight operations.
On Tuesday, Flight Aware, a website for tracking flights from the US, tallied 59 cancelled and 43 delayed flights to Brussels airport. According to RTBF, some flights were also diverted to nearby airports.
Although the government has not provided specific details about the drone sightings, RTBF reported that an investigation was being conducted. Minister of Interior Bernard Quintin said that.
“We cannot tolerate the disruption of our airports by unlicensed drone flights. He argued that a coordinated, national response is required for this.
According to Belgian Defense Minister Theo Francken, the drone sightings come after a similar incident on Saturday when three unlicensed drones were spotted close to a Belgian military base.
Francken claimed on X that the incident was “a clear command targeting]the Kleine Brogel” airbase in northwest Belgium.
He claimed a drone jammer couldn’t stop the drones because they were high-altitude aircraft. He claimed that they avoided police car and helicopter pursuit.
A flurry of enigmatic drone sightings have been reported near military installations and civilian airports in Denmark, Germany, and Norway since September.

No details about any casualties or injuries were disclosed in the initial statement from UPS, which stated that three crew members were present.
Four of the seven confirmed fatalities were not on the aircraft, according to the Associated Press news agency.
After earlier claiming that three people had been confirmed dead and that the death toll was anticipated to rise, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said, “Anyone who has seen the images, the video, knows how violent this crash is.”
“We have at least 11 injuries being treated by neighborhood hospitals, some of which are very serious.” I believe that number will increase, Beshear said once more.
Additionally, Beshear stated that the FAA will assist in the launch of an investigation into the crash.
A large fire was blasted onto the crash site by firefighters, who were filmed on aerial footage, showing a long trail of debris and smoke billowing from the scene.
Beshear claimed that the plane veered off into two nearby auto parts companies and a petroleum recycling company.
