Nine goals. Three leads. One night.
The Parc des Princes just produced the joint-highest-scoring semi-final in European Cup history. It ends level with 1960. Nothing else does.
Nine goals. Three lead changes. Manuel Neuer saves a penalty — off camera, naturally — and Ousmane Dembélé scores the rebound before anyone has fully processed what just happened. That is your Champions League semi-final first leg, condensed.
The record it matches: Rangers 3-6 Eintracht Frankfurt, 1960. A game played before colour television. PSG have just drawn level with it on sheer, chaotic output — and somehow, after all of that, they head into the second leg ahead by one.
