Live coverage of the Champions League semifinal first leg in Paris, where PSG lead Bayern 5-4 in a dramatic second half.
Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich have turned their Champions League semifinal first leg into a nine-goal thriller, with PSG leading 5-4 late at Parc des Princes.
The Guardian’s live coverage reported that PSG were 3-2 up at half time after Ousmane Dembélé’s stoppage-time penalty. The match then exploded after the break, with PSG adding to their lead before Bayern kept responding to stay within reach.
Live text shows PSG goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé after the interval, while Bayern answered through Dayot Upamecano and Luis Díaz. The back-and-forth nature of the game has made it one of the wildest knockout ties of the season.
UEFA and both clubs had confirmed the fixture earlier on Tuesday, and Bayern coach Vincent Kompany is suspended and watching from the stands. That backdrop has only added to the tension in a match that is now being decided by moments rather than control.
The key live question is whether Bayern can still find an equalizer before the final whistle or whether PSG will take a one-goal advantage to Munich.
