[10] He played in several positions, namely right-back, centre-back, defensive midfielder and right wing, but after the appointment of Tayfun Korkut as manager in January 2018 he was exclusively a centre back; the team conceded 10 goals in their last 14 games as they went from near the relegation places to finish 7th, only just missing out on a UEFA Europa League place.

[15] On 9 January 2019, Bayern Munich confirmed Pavard would join the club for the 2019–20 season, signing a five-year contract lasting until 30 June 2024.

[20] A week later, he scored a goal in a 2–0 victory against Inter Milan, in which Bayern Munich finished top of their Group C with six wins out of six matches for the second consecutive season.

[27] On 22 April 2024, Pavard assisted a goal in Inter's 2–1 victory over rivals AC Milan that confirmed his side as the season's Serie A champions.

[28] On 6 November 2017, Pavard was selected by France's head coach Didier Deschamps for the friendly matches against Wales and Germany.

[29] He made his debut against the Welsh on 10 November in a 2–0 win at the Stade de France, replacing Christophe Jallet at half time.

[32] On 30 June, Pavard scored his first international goal, a half-volley from outside the penalty area, in a 4–3 victory over Argentina in the World Cup's round of 16.

[37] At UEFA Euro 2020, Pavard suffered a head injury in France's opening 1–0 win over Germany, but continued playing.

This appeared to break UEFA's protocol that a player showing signs of concussion should be withdrawn from the match, whether or not he or the manager agreed with it.

After analysing reports by the French team's doctors, UEFA concluded that Pavard never lost consciousness and it was right for him to play on.

[40] On 27 March 2023, he scored the winning goal as France beat the Republic of Ireland 1–0 in a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying match.
