In the last few minutes, the Russian goalkeeper has done well to negate a few close corners and close-range headers. This time again, from the corner, he decided to come out and attack the ball. He has been very positive. 

Goretzka replaces Musiala.

Ruiz gets the yellow card for a foul on Olise.

What a ball from Harry Kane! 

Kane's long ball found Diaz inside the box, and after a great first touch and control, Diaz found the back of the net with a curling right-footed shot.

Game on!

PSG is crushing Bayern now!

It's Desiree Doue again, whose flicked pass found Dembele on the left of the box. And the Ballinger winner made a quick, swift move and went for the near post.

The French striker's shot went inside the goal after a big deflection off the bar. PSG now surely have secured a healthy lead on this first leg. 

The defending champions are roaring at their home. 

The ball from deep found Hakimi on the right, Dembele and Doue skipped his cross in the middle, but it found Kvaratskhelia at the edge of the box.

His right-footed shot hit the right low corner of the goal for their fourth of the night. For the first time, PSG takes a two-goal lead in the match. 

Harry Kane played out to Luis Diaz on the left of the box as his cutback was met by running Laimer. However, his quick shot at the side of the net before going for a goal kick. 

It's pretty sure that a goal could be there very soon from either of the teams. 

This is the first Champions League semi-final encounter to produce five goals in the first half.

It is End-to-End now.

Right after Neves negated the Bayern attack, Kvaratskhelia had the chance to make a long run on the left and then enter the final third. As he went for a shot, his foot got stuck on the ground. Since Upamecano was close to him, PSG appealed for a penalty, which was denied. 

Neves, who has already scored an important header, made a great challenge on Luis Diaz, who wanted to go for a cross after making a quick entry inside the box on the left. 

The defender made a long run on the right and looked for Harry Kane with a right-footed cross; however, it was too long for Kane to meet. 

Bayern start the second half as we get ready for one of the epic games of Champions League history. 

Laimer has replaced Davies for Bayern Munich

We will come back from the break as we get ready for the second half. The players are coming out of the tunnel, and we are just ready to go. 

Uff! We all need a break!

Five goals and we are just done with one-fourth of this semi-final. 

Kane gave Bayern lead from the spot but Kvaratskhelia's solo goal made it 1-1. Neves' header then game PSG the lead. But it was until Olise's thunder strike made it level. 

At the stroke of the half-time, a handball from Davies handed PSG the penalty, and Dembele did not miss the chance to score PSG's third of the night. 

I need a break too! See you after the break!

The Golden Boy does it! 

Neuer went the correct way, but Dembele had enough power on the shot to go past him. 

PSG take the lead! 

Penalty given. Although a replay showed Dembele's shot first hit Davies' thigh and then hit his hands. But, it is a penalty for the home side at the stroke of the half-time. 

A VAR check is going for a potential handball and penalty check. 

From the corner, after an appeal for a penalty, Kvaratskhelia's shot went straight to Neuer.

This is epic! 

Diaz finds Olise ahead of the D in the middle. Olise just reacted quickly and unleashed a rocket to hit the top corner to level things in Paris. 

Uff, what a game!

Stanisic had one of the best chances to make everything equal again. But, Hakimi's well-timed challenge inside the box wasted that for them.

Jamal Musiala had the chance to score for Bayern, but he hesitated to take the shot, and that gave PSG the chance to make a counterattack.

Doue's shot missed the far post by a whisker in that counterattack. 

What a challenge! 

Dembele was looking for anything but the goal after a one-on-one situation. However, Upamecano recovered well to get back and block the shot. Meantime, Tah is down and needs a medical attention.

PSG take the lead.

After the attack from Olise, Doue picked up the ball from Bayern and his attempt earned them the corner.

From the corner, Neves gave them the lead with a stunning header. 

Brilliant from Olise, who made it look so easy to run through the defensive line and then send a cutback from the byline as Nuno Mendes' deflection hit the bar. 

Dembele's left-footed shot hit Pavlovic's hands. However, the hands were tucked in.

Hakimi wanted to find Dembele in the box, but his cross went straight to Neuer.

Kavaradona is at it again! 

What a goal! A lobbed ball from the middle, and Kvaratskhelia made a long run on the left before making a quick entry into the box. 

A quick, sharp cutback to beat Stanisic, and then went for a curling effort which hit the inside of the bar before going into the net.

Game on!

Oh no! You got to score! 

The current Ballon d'Or holder could not hit the target as Kvaratskhelia won the ball on the left and then found the French striker with a thorough ball between the defensive line. Dembele was one-on-one but could not curl the ball enough to hit the back of the net.

Kane dropped deep again, and Pacho had to foul him to stop the rhythm. He gets a verbal warning from the referee. 

Bayern won the ball in the middle, and Harry Kane found Olise on the right of the box, but a diving Safonov saved the shot.

INEVITABLE!

Cool as it gets, and Harry Kane sends Safonov the other way to hit the back of the net. 

54th goal of the season. Goals in 6th consecutive Champions League games. Harry Kane is the hurricane PSG need to contain now. 

After Davies negotiated a cross from Kvaratskhelia, Bayern counterattacked. Although they had slowed down, Diaz was brought down by Pacho inside the box, and the referee did not hesitate before blowing the whistle.

Kimmich's free-kick was headed away for a corner by Vitinha

Yellow card for PSG captain Marquinhos for blocking Luis Diaz. 

Minute ago, PSG had made an entry to Bayern's box but it was well negotiated by the German club. 

Zaire-Emery fouls Harry Kane 10 yards from the D. He receives a warning from the referee. No yellow card, though.

Doue and Kvaratskhelia linked up between them before Doue's threatening cross from the left was intercepted well by Pavlovic. 

Micheal Olise, the Frenchman, made a quick, sharp move on the right. However, his cross was grabbed by Safonov.

Olise got a lot of woos from the PSG crowd, though.

PSG start the match with their usual kick-off.

• Harry Kane can become the English player with goals sixth successive Champions League appearance, going past Steven Gerrard's record of five in the 2007/08 season.
• Vitinha has not missed a Champions League fixture since signing for Paris in the summer of 2022.
• Vitinha has attempted the most passes in this season's competition, completing 94% of his 1,454 deliveries.
• Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who has 13 contributions (5 goals, 8 assists) this season, can break Ousmane Dembélé's record of most goal contributions in a single Champions League season by a PSG player (14 in 2024-25). 
   
• With his 120th appearance, Marquinhos equals Roberto Carlos' record of playing the most Champions League games among Brazilian players.

Harry Kane's 12 goals have helped Vincent Kompany's men clock up a total of 38 strikes in the Champions League this term. No side has scored more in the competition in 2025/26, with tonight's opponents also registering the same tally.
