Overview
- PSG beat Bayern 5-4 in Paris on Tuesday in a first leg that flipped from 0-1 to 5-2 before the visitors cut it to a single goal.
- UEFA confirmed it was the first semifinal to feature nine goals and the first to have five or more in the opening half.
- Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembélé each scored twice for PSG, with João Neves adding one, while Bayern’s goals came from Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Dayot Upamecano and Luis Díaz.
- A VAR review flagged a handball on Alphonso Davies just before halftime and Dembélé converted the penalty to restore PSG’s lead.
- The return leg is May 6 at the Allianz Arena in Munich, where a one-goal Bayern win would force extra time, and the winner advances to the May 30 final in Budapest.
