Paris Saint-Germain secured a 5-4 victory over Bayern Munich in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal played on Tuesday at Parc des Princes.
The match produced a record nine goals, delivering nonstop attacking football from both sides in what many are calling one of the most entertaining European ties in recent memory.
The 28-year-old French forward put in an outstanding display, netting two goals one from the penalty spot in first-half stoppage time and another clinical finish early in the second half while also contributing to PSG’s build-up play. Dembélé featured prominently in several dangerous attacks and helped the home side race into a 5-2 lead before Bayern fought back late.
Dembélé was chosen as Man of the Match due to his direct involvement in multiple goals and his decisive impact in a high-stakes encounter. His brace proved crucial in giving PSG a slim advantage heading into the second leg in Munich.
