US EditionLuis Enrique Predicts More Thrills in Return Leg After PSG Beat Bayern in Classic
Luis Enrique said PSG will likely need at least three more away goals to secure a Champions League final place after a 5-4 first-leg win.
- On Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Bayern Munich 5-4 in the Champions League semi-final first leg, securing a one-goal advantage heading to next week's return match at the Allianz Arena.
- Bayern Munich forward Harry Kane opened scoring with an early penalty at the Parc des Princes, but PSG rallied through goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Joao Neves, and Ousmane Dembele to build a 5-2 lead before Bayern defenders Dayot Upamecano and Luis Diaz narrowed the deficit.
- PSG coach Luis Enrique praised the encounter, stating "The intensity of the game throughout was exceptional," while Bayern coach Vincent Kompany, suspended and watching from the stands, described the experience as a "catastrophe."
- Bayern will seek to overturn their one-goal deficit next Wednesday at the Allianz Arena, as Enrique warned his team must score "at least three" goals in Munich to guarantee reaching the final.
- Tuesday's encounter was the highest-scoring semi-final in the modern Champions League era; the two-legged record stands at 13 goals, set when Inter Milan beat Barcelona 7-6 on aggregate last season, and this tie could surpass it.
