Bayern Munich defender Jérôme Boateng, uncertain before the Champions League final but ultimately holder, was forced to leave on injury after less than half an hour of play on Sunday against Paris SG in Lisbon, hit in the right leg .

The German international, remained on the ground after contact in the 25th minute of play, ended up giving up his place and limping out, supported by two members of the Bavarian management.

He was replaced by Niklas Süle when the score was 0-0 in this final held behind closed doors in the Portuguese capital.

Boateng was replaced at half-time in the Champions League semi-final against Lyon (3-0) on Wednesday due to a muscle problem.
