Bayern Munich intervene as Matthijs de Ligt gifted 700kg of chocolate by teammate

Matthijs de Ligt was gifted 700kg of chocolate for his match-winning block against Paris Saint-Germain... but it was confiscated by his employers Bayern Munich.

Bayern knocked PSG out of the Champions League thanks to a 3-0 aggregate win against the Ligue 1 holders in the last 16. The German side are considered as one of the favourites to win the tournament after dumping out Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and co.

Although the scoreline suggests it was a comfortable win for Bayern, the result could have been very different if De Ligt had failed to block Vitinha's first-half strike. The aggregate score was 1-0 to Julian Nagelsmann's side at the time, as PSG targeted a comeback.
