PSG edge Bayern 5-4 in Paris

Paris Saint-Germain beat Bayern Munich 5-4 in Paris on Tuesday night, taking a one-goal lead into the second leg of their Champions League semifinal. (uefa.com) (espn.com) Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembélé scored twice each for PSG, and João Neves added the other goal at Parc des Princes. Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Dayot Upamecano and Luis Díaz scored for Bayern. (espn.com) (nbcsports.com) Bayern went ahead through Kane’s 17th-minute penalty, but PSG led 3-2 by halftime after goals from Kvaratskhelia, Neves and a Dembélé penalty in stoppage time. (espn.com) (thestar.com.my) PSG then surged to 5-2 within 58 minutes when Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé scored again, before Upamecano in the 65th and Díaz in the 68th cut the deficit to one. (nbcsports.com) (espn.com) The nine goals made it the highest-scoring semifinal match in Champions League history. ESPN said Kane’s opener was his 54th goal of the season and his sixth straight Champions League game with a goal. (espn.com) The tie remains open because away goals no longer count as a tiebreaker in UEFA competition, so Bayern only need a one-goal win in Munich to force extra time. PSG advance in regulation with a draw. (uefa.com) (psg.fr) Luis Enrique said PSG “deserved to win,” but added they also “deserved a draw” and “would have even deserved to lose” because of how chaotic the match became. (thestar.com.my) Vincent Kompany watched from the stands while serving a suspension, and Bayern still left Paris with the tie alive after trimming a three-goal deficit in three minutes. (thestar.com.my) (bundesliga.com) The second leg is scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, at Bayern’s stadium in Munich, with a place in the May 29 final at stake. (uefa.com) (psg.fr)
