The Parc des Princes experienced an extraordinary evening. An exceptional match, rhythmic, open, almost unreal at times. Nine goals, classy moves and constant suspense. This PSG-Bayern kept all its promises, and even more.
In this duel without downtime, the attackers shone. Kvaratskhelia, with a double including a splendid curling strike (24th, 56th), and Dembélé, also author of two goals (45th from a penalty, 58th), carried Paris. João Neves (33rd) also took part in this offensive festival.
Opposite, Bayern responded blow for blow. Kane (17th, penalty), Olise (41st), Upamecano (65th) and Luis Diaz, author of an exceptional control-dribble-hit sequence (68th), maintained total suspense until the end.
Each sequence seemed to be able to turn the match around. The defenses suffered, the spaces were immense, and the pace never dropped. A truly high-level match, where everything came down to details.
In the end, PSG won 5-4 and took an option before the return match. A fragile advantage given the scenario, but precious after such a battle. In such a spectacular and indecisive confrontation, Paris took a head start, at the end of a match that has already gone down in memory.
