CHAMPIONS LEAGUE PLAYER RATINGS | PSG 5-4 Bayern Munich – The greatest Champions League game ever?

In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Bayern Munich travelled to Paris to play PSG, who have sort of become a modern-day rival in Europe.

The first major chance of the game went to the Germans when Marquinhos ultimately fouled Luis Diaz in the box to give Bayern a penalty, which was coolly converted by Harry Kane to make it 1-0 within the first 20 minutes.

However, Bayern’s lead would not last for long, as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia would go one-on-one with Josip Stanisic, and after cutting in on his left, the Georgian’s curling effort made it 1-1.

The Parisians would then take the lead not long after, when a PSG corner was met by the head of Joao Neves, one of the smaller people on the pitch, to make it 2-1.

Just before the break, Michael Olise would then level it to make it 2-2. However, the game would not go in at the break level, as PSG would be awarded a penalty for a handball (which was slightly harsh) from , which converted to make it 3-2 with more or less the last kick of the first half.
