Paris: PSG came out on top 5-4 in the highest-scoring UCL semifinal on record - and second-highest scoring knockout game ever - but Bayern will like their chances in the second leg at home after going almost blow for blow with the defending champions in an instant European classic, APA reports. According to Azeri-Press News Agency, a wide-open start to the game had already set a Champions League semifinal record for most goals in a first half with five, as Harry Kane and Michael Olise scored for the visitors, while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Joo Neves, and Ousmane Dembélé netted to give PSG a 3-2 lead at the break. Dembélé's goal came from the penalty spot just before halftime after a controversial handball was given against Alphonso Davies following a pitch-side review by the referee and numerous protests from the Bayern players and bench. The hosts were only getting warmed up in the opening 45 minutes at the Parc des Princes, though, and were soon up 5-2 after Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé scored their second of the night. Kvaratskhelia's came from the center of the penalty area on another PSG counter-attack after Dembélé had let the ball run through his legs for his teammate to blast past Manuel Neuer.
