Paris Saint Germain and Bayern Munich pulled off a nine-goal thriller in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal clash in Paris on Tuesday night.
The defending champions take a slim advantage into the second leg of their semi-final meeting billed for next week.
Five goals were scored in a breathless first half before the mayhem continued in the second period when the hosts began to pull away, opening up a three-goal lead.
But Bayern, already crowned Bundesliga champions and pushing for a Treble, cut the deficit to one.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele each scored a brace for PSG, with João Neves also on target to make it five for the hosts.
