Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scored two fine goals, as did Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele, with Joao Neves also involved.
Bayern responded through Harry Kane, Dayot Upamecano, Luis Diaz and Michael Aulis to put in an incredible game.
Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique called it the best game he has ever played as a manager, which is saying a lot considering he was in La Remontada.
Both teams had several chances to extend the score, and Enrique was aware of it.
The Spanish tactician (Fabrizio Romano) said: “I have never seen such intensity and physicality. We must congratulate everyone.”

“We should have won today, we should have tied and we should have lost. It was a good game.”
The PSG boss also reiterated that his side will travel to Germany to try and win the competition. Their goal is to attack and get the job done. It’s the only way he knows how to handle the game.
He also reserved praise for Bayern’s front line of Olise, Diaz and Kane. With the help of these three, the German team has every chance of turning the situation around at the Allianz Arena.
The trio became the first treble winners outside of Barcelona and Real Madrid to reach 100 goals in a single season. If they play well, they will be unstoppable.
