PLAYER RATINGS | PSG 5-4 Bayern Munich: Les Parisiens on top in thrilling Champions League encounter UEFA Champions League, Semi-finals, 28/4/25 In a high scoring encounter and undoubted UEFA Champions League classic, PSG secured a narrow margin ahead of the second leg as they emerged 5-4 victors. Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and João Neves found the back of the net for the competiton’s holders. The match As Vincent Kompany watched on from the stands, neither team really fashioned any openings in the opening ten minutes.

Doué and Olise threatened with dangerous deliveries, but neither French international could find a teammate in the opposition area. Just a few minutes later, Luis Diaz would win a penalty. Pacho connected with ball and man forcing the referee into a decision which ultimately favoured the visitors.

Harry Kane made no mistake from 12-yards, sending Safonov the wrong way to open the scoring. Kane was then involved again as he played Olise into acres of space with a great pass, but the former Crystal Palace attacker couldn’t beat the onrushing Safonov to double Bayern’s lead. Dembélé was presented with Les Parisiens’ first opportunity of the game as he was played through on goal, but as he opened up his body and got the finish all wrong.

Kvaratskhelia then levelled proceedings. Doué played a lofted ball into the channel and the Georgian international did the rest by cutting inside and finding the bottom corner with ease to restore parity. With the game starting to open up, Olise showed great balance and feet to ghost past Marquinhos and Mendes before reaching the byline.
