Paris Saint-Germain's 5-4 semi-final first-leg win over Bayern Munich on Tuesday will go down as one of the greatest Champions League games (FRANCK FIFE) (FRANCK FIFE/AFP/AFP) Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique admitted his team will likely need to score several more goals away to Bayern Munich next week to be sure of reaching another Champions League final after a remarkable 5-4 victory in the first leg of their semi-final on Tuesday. "I just asked my staff how many goals they thought we would need next week and we all think we will need to score at least three," said the Spaniard, who masterminded PSG's 5-0 triumph over Inter Milan in last season's final. That allowed them to win the Champions League for the first time in their history and next Wednesday's semi-final second leg will be their first visit to the Allianz Arena since then. "Bayern will of course be in their stadium and will be even stronger with their fans behind them but going back there will bring back beautiful memories for us. We want to have the same mentality and will go out to try to win the game." Tuesday's thriller was the highest scoring semi-final match in the modern Champions League era -- you have to go back to 1960 to find the last game as prolific at this stage of the European Cup. That was a 6-3 win for Eintracht Frankfurt away to Rangers, before the Germans lost 7-3 in the final to Alfredo di Stefano's Real Madrid. "The intensity of the game throughout was exceptional," said Luis Enrique. "We won it and we are very pleased, but at 5-2 we thought we could have had a better result. "We desverved to win, but we also deserved to draw and lose!"
