In a nine-goal Champions League classic show, the defending champion PSG stunned Bayern Munich 5-4 in the first leg of their semi-final in Paris.
The goal-fest, which saw Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer fail to save, marked the first time in a European semi-final that both teams scored four or more goals.
It was also the second-highest-scoring semifinal match in European Cup history, following Rangers’ 6-3 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in 1960. After a remarkable five-goal first half at the Parc des Princes, PSG led 3-2 at halftime.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Dembele then scored in a span of seconds, putting PSG up 5-2 in the 58th minute.
However, Bayern responded with two goals in three minutes from Dayot Upamecano and Luis Diaz, making it 5-4 in the 68th minute and giving them hope for the return leg in Allianz Arena.
