Bayern Munich chief Max Eberl accused PSG of over-celebrating their fifth goal in last night's Champions League epic – and reckons they're in for a fright in the return leg.
The holders edged a 5-4 thriller in one of the best games the competition has ever seen. Harry Kane opened the scoring from the penalty spot and it was 2-2 with just 41 minutes minutes on the clock, PSG rallying through Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Joao Neves before Michael Olise equalised.
The Parisians then stepped things up and threatened to blow Bayern away. Ousmane Dembele struck a double either side of Kvaratskhelia's second to put them three goals in front and the celebrations that followed at Parc de Princes were wild.
But Bayern weren't done there. Dayot Upamecano and Luis Diaz brought them back to within a goal and next week's showdown at the Allianz is not one to be missed.
And while Bayern sporting director Eberl was blown away by the quality of the game, he was also left miffed at how PSG celebrated their fifth goal.
He told Sky Sports Germany after the game: "That was a fantastic game. I've rarely experienced a match of this caliber.
"Kudos to our team. After the 5-2, the PSG players celebrated as if they were already in the final in Budapest.

"We came back, and now everything is open in the second leg. The Allianz Arena is a fortress."
The two sides meet again in Germany on Wednesday, May 6, with the winner facing either Arsenal or Atletico Madrid in the final on May 23.
