Only one game with more goals\u00a0<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t often that games live up to the hype. But make no mistake, it was an incredible 90 minutes at the Parc des Princes between PSG and Bayern Munich. Spectators were treated to an incredible nine-goal spectacle. First, Harry Kane (17\u2019) scored from the spot, then PSG answered with goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (25\u2019) and Jo\u00e3o Neves (33\u2019). Those two goals were equalized by Michael Olise (41\u2019), just for Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 (45 + 5\u2019) to take the lead from the spot just before halftime. Then PSG appeared to run away with it as Kvaratskhelia (56\u2019) and Demb\u00e9l\u00e9 (59\u2019) made it 5-2. But Bayern struck back with Dayot Upamencano (65\u2019) and Luis D\u00edaz (69\u2019) scoring.<\/p>\n

\"PSG<\/p>\n

Only then did both teams finally slow down, as if they were ready to concede that there would be no resolution today. Indeed, PSG\u2019s 5-4 victory leaves everything wide open for next week when these two meet for the second half of what has already been an incredible showdown between perhaps Europe\u2019s two best club teams. Nine goals in a single UEFA Champions League game aren\u2019t that uncommon. Indeed, a glance at the Transfermarkt database shows three games with more goals. In 2016, Dortmund beat Legia Warszawa 8-4, in November 2003, Monaco beat Deportivo La Coruna 8-3, and last season, Bayern beat Dinamo Zagreb 9-2.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So, tonight wasn\u2019t quite a record. It still did come close to another record, though. Only once were there more goals in a knockout stage Champions League game. Once again, Bayern were involved. During the pandemic, Bayern beat Barcelona 8-2 in the semifinal on the way to winning the club\u2019s second treble in history. In the Champions League era, there have only been two other games with nine goals in a single leg. In March 2005, Olympique Lyon beat Werder Bremen 7-2, and earlier this season, Barcelona smashed Newcastle 7-2. Sure, those games had nine goals as well, but they lacked tonight\u2019s drama. And the best part? We get 90 more minutes of it next week.<\/p>\n
