Paris Saint-Germain experienced a night that was as spectacular as it was frustrating against Bayern Munich (5-4). In a completely open first-leg UEFA Champions League semi-final, the Parisians dazzled in attack before collapsing, leaving total suspense ahead of the return leg.
Caught off guard by an early penalty from Harry Kane, Paris quickly responded through Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and João Neves. Despite an equalizer from Michael Olise, the Parisians regained the lead just before halftime thanks to Ousmane Dembélé.
A Thrilling Clash with a Bitter Aftertaste
After the break, PSG seemed unstoppable, with a brace from Kvaratskhelia and another goal from Dembélé putting them 5-2 ahead. The Parc des Princes crowd thought they were witnessing a dominant display.
But Bayern never gave up. Dayot Upamecano reignited hope for the German side before a nerve-wracking finale saw the Bavarians close the gap to 5-4. Paris held on under pressure, notably thanks to a crucial goal-line clearance from Willian Pacho.
Despite the win, PSG can have serious regrets after letting a three-goal lead slip. Between defensive lapses and questionable game management, Luis Enrique’s men have made the return leg in Germany more complicated—especially with uncertainty surrounding Achraf Hakimi’s injury.
