Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Luis Enrique said his side will probably need to score three or more goals in the second leg after a chaotic 5-4 victory over Bayern Munich to reach the final.
Reflecting on the historic first-leg thriller—the highest-scoring Champions League semi-final in 60 years—the Spaniard noted that while he was pleased with the win, the slim one-goal margin leaves the tie precariously balanced.
He emphasised that PSG must maintain an aggressive mentality when they return to the Allianz Arena, a venue that holds “beautiful memories” following their trophy win there last season.
The match at the Parc des Princes was an offensive masterclass that saw PSG climb to a 5-2 lead before Bayern Munich fought back with two late goals.
Luis Enrique admitted the game’s intensity was exceptional, jokingly remarking that his side deserved to win, draw, and lose all at once due to the unpredictable nature of the play.
With the current record for goals in a two-legged tie standing at 13, next week’s return fixture has a strong chance of becoming the most prolific encounter in the competition’s history.
Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany, who observed the loss from the stands due to a suspension, praised his players’ resilience in clawing back from a three-goal deficit.
He described the match as a clash of two similar, attack-minded philosophies where neither side was willing to sit back and defend.
Looking ahead to the second leg, Kompany expressed confidence that the legendary atmosphere of Bayern’s home stadium would provide the necessary edge to overturn the deficit and propel the German giants toward their first final since 2020.
