PSG allows 4 goals at Parc des Princes for the first time in 20 years

The Champions League semifinal in Paris unfolded into a thrilling spectacle as intense attacking play dominated, overshadowing any defensive efforts. As of the 75th minute, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) led 5-4, marking a match that would be etched in the history books for the wrong reasons.

Details: This match has become notable for PSG, which, according to Stats Foot, conceded four goals at home in an official competition for the first time in 20 years. The last instance of such a defensive breakdown occurred on November 23, 2006, when PSG allowed Israel’s Hapoel Tel Aviv to score four goals in a UEFA Cup match.

This evening’s encounter with Bayern Munich was evocative of that prior catastrophic event, yet the drama on the pitch was even more electrifying.
