Everyone might need to catch a breather after the amount of drama the first leg between Bayern Munich and PSG produced. The defending champions have a slender lead going into next week's second leg in Munich as the first leg ended 5-4 in PSG's favour.

Harry Kane broke the deadlock with a penalty before PSG fired back with two goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Joao Neves. Michael Olise pulls one back with a stunning goal. When every fan thought both teams would go into the break all squared up, the home side was rewarded a controversial penalty to go up by one goal.

PSG carried that momentum into the second half, Kvara and Ousmane Dembele completed their brace to put PSG up 5-2. However, this Bayern side doesn't give up. Dayot Upamecano and Luis Diaz answered with two goals to bring the deficit back to one.

The attacking trio was magnificent against PSG. They were unlucky not to score more. Although Bayern Munich could not complete the comeback, this result would motivate the team to do better in the return fixture and book their ticket to the final. Let us look at key takeaways from eventful night in Paris.
