Luis Enrique's PSG are favorites to book their spot in the Final - but only by a fine margin. Things had actually begun disastrously for the home side as England forward Kane broke the deadlock from the penalty spot following a foul on Luis Diaz by Willian Pacho.
PSG trailed for just seven minutes, though. Kvaratskhelia was given plenty of room down the right, weaved into the Bayern penalty area, and bent a devastating shot low past the reach of Manuel Neuer. The reigning European champions then flipped the script through Joao Neves as the Portuguese midfielder headed home from Ousmane Dembele's corner.
