PSG are in a strong position at half-time in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich, although the tie remains far from decided.
After the spectacular first leg in Paris ended 5-4 in favor of the French champions, PSG increased their aggregate advantage early in Munich.
The breakthrough came after a brilliant attacking move involving Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
The Georgian star combined beautifully with a teammate before bursting down the wing and delivering a dangerous pass into the penalty area, where Ousmane Dembele finished calmly for 1-0.
The goal pushed the aggregate score to 6-4 in favor of the Parisians.
Bayern Munich needed time to respond, but gradually began creating more pressure in attack.
Michael Olise and Luis Diaz looked especially dangerous as the German side searched for a way back into the match.
The biggest controversy of the first half arrived in the 31st minute.
Bayern players appealed strongly for a handball after Joao Neves appeared to touch the ball inside the area following a challenge involving teammate Vitinha.
The referee allowed play to continue, a decision that immediately caused frustration among the home players and supporters.
Bayern increased the pressure before the break and pushed PSG deep into their own half, but the visitors survived the late attacks.
Half-time:
Bayern Munich 0-1 PSG
Aggregate: 4-6
