A penalty was awarded to the visitors as early as the 16th minute. Diaz initiated a counter-attack, the ball reached Kimmich, who then passed to Olise, and he returned it to the Colombian.

Pacho slid in and brought down Diaz, and Swiss referee Sandro Scharer awarded a penalty kick. Harry Kane was the confident penalty taker.

PSG equalized in the 25th minute. Doue masterfully sent a high ball into space for Kvaratskhelia, who first feinted past Stanišić and then got away from him.

He entered Bayern's penalty area, shifted to his right foot, and beautifully struck the ball into the far corner for a 1:1 draw.

Eight minutes later – a turnaround. Dembele took a corner, and the 174 cm tall Joao Neves was the tallest in the air and headed the ball in for a 2:1 lead.

Olise equalized in the 41st minute. The Parisians left too much space for the Bayern winger, who took advantage of it, walked through the middle, entered the penalty area, and fired for a 2:2 draw.

In added time, a penalty was awarded to PSG, which Dembele converted, making it 3:2.

The Parisians scored another goal in the 56th minute. Vitinha masterfully released Hakimi on the right wing.

The Moroccan entered the penalty area completely alone and then played a low cross for Dembele, who let the ball go for the unmarked Kvaratskhelia, who scored for 4:2.

Just two minutes later, Dembele scored for 5:2. Doue walked through the defense and passed to Dembele, who slotted the ball between Upamecano's legs and hit the post.

It seemed like it would be a disaster for Bayern, but the Germans don't give up easily…

In the 65th minute, Kimmich delivered a free-kick, and Upamecano headed it in for 5:3.

Bayern reduced the deficit to 5:4 three minutes later. Diaz's goal was initially disallowed, but after a VAR intervention, it was determined that there was no offside.

The home team had a great chance in the final moments of the match. Vitinha passed to Mayulu, and his shot hit the crossbar.

And that was it. It should certainly be emphasized that this is now the highest-scoring match in the history of the Champions League semi-finals.

Never before have more than seven goals been seen.

The second leg will be played in Munich on May 6. There is no doubt that a new spectacle awaits us.
