PARIS – Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele scored twice each as Paris Saint-Germain beat Bayern Munich 5-4 in an epic first leg of their Champions League semifinal on Tuesday — an extraordinary encounter that was the highest-scoring match ever at this stage of the competition.
The first half alone was chaotic, with Harry Kane giving Bayern the lead from a penalty only for Kvaratskhelia to equalize before Joao Neves headed the host in front at an enthralled Parc des Princes.
Michael Olise made it 2-2, but a Dembele penalty in first-half stoppage time had the reigning champion back ahead at the interval.
