It was still an intriguing semi-final clash, however, with PSG ahead inside just three minutes after great work from Fabian Ruiz and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to set up Ousmane Dembele, who fired into the roof of the net to settle any early nerves. There was controversy thereafter in the first half as Bayern felt that Nuno Mendes should have been shown a second yellow card for handball and that they should have then been awarded a penalty after Vitinha’s clearance inside the PSG box cannoned into the outstretched arm of team-mate Joao Neves.
