Kolkata: The Champions League witnessed a night of magic and drama in Paris as Paris St-Germain (PSG) edged past Bayern Munich 5-4 in a high-scoring thriller.
The match was termed 'wonderfully ridiculous' by the television commentator after Luis Diaz scored, and it was indeed a night to remember.
PSG's Ousmane Dembele made it 5-2 from a counter initiated by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, but Bayern pushed back with two goals from Dayot Upamecano and Diaz, showing the attitude that helped them overturn Real Madrid in the quarter-final.
The match was a lesson in pressing, long passes, and brilliant passes, with PSG converting all five of their shots on target, while Bayern needed eight.
The game saw an exhibition of dribbling, with Kvaratskhelia and Michael Olise being the first among equals, and Diaz not too far behind.
The left-side attacker Kvaratskhelia is drawing comparisons with George Best, and his performance in the match showed why.
