PSG claim slender semi-final advantage in 9-goal thriller with Bayern

With attacking, gung-ho football on the menu for both clubs this evening, the chances didn't let up. Four minutes before the break, Bayern's turn to equalise came. Olise drifted into a central position, given too much room, and whipped it over the wrong-footed Safonov.

Amazingly, that wouldn't be the end of the first-half goal-scoring. A further dramatic twist arrived when Dembélé's delivery struck Alphonso Davies on the arm. At first glance, it seemed harsh, but a VAR review gave the Parisians a penalty which Dembélé steered home for 3-2 at the break.

In the absence of the suspended Vincent Kompany, assistant Aaron Denks replaced Davies with Konrad Laimer upon the restart. A second penalty appeal for PSG, involving Kvaratskhelia on this occasion, but the contact with Dayot Upamecano was minimal.

Still, Luis Enrique's team would put daylight between the sides in a blistering three-minute spell before the hour mark. The marauding Achraf Hakimi found space on the right to pick out Kvaratskhelia. The Georgian finding the lower left corner emphatically.

The following counterattack, which persisted to sting the Bavarians all night, was initiated by Doué who set up Dembélé to make it 5-2 with some help from the post. Most teams would crumble in the tense Parisian atmosphere, but Bayern punched back in style.

The Bavarians would claw the deficit back to one in a four-minute flurry. Joshua Kimmich's 65th-minute set-piece was flicked in by Upamecano. The next significant attack saw Kane pick out Luis Díaz, enabling the winger to turn Marquinhos and dispatch it into the right corner.

Both sides called on the cavalry from the bench late on, with PSG youngster Senny Mayulu rattling the crossbar late on. Four minutes of injury time saw Bayern pile on the pressure, with Pacho clearing Kimmich's late header off the line to maintain their lead before Wednesday's trip to Munich.
