Like an air of deja-vu… While Paris has a goal lead in this double Champions League confrontation thanks to its victory in the quarter-final first leg (2-1, in Germany), the club from the capital rocks in the duels from the start. Bayern is more biting this evening and quickly offers a few incursions into the red and blue camp (8th, 9th). In defense, the legs are feverish and we often give in to panic. Except that a small miracle will propel PSG in front of a scoreboard. A returning cross fired from the right side by Baltimore turns into a strike and lob poor Janina Leitzig (1-0, 17th). The heist is perfect. At least for two minutes. Because in the 19th, Saki Kumagai, on the lookout following a bad dismissal from Votíková on a point-blank header from Lea Schüller, equalized (1-1, 19th). Doubt sets in once more.
Suffocated during the seven minutes following the goal, the players of the capital will finally come out of their box thanks to their individualities. A powerful burst from Katoto leads to a goal ball for Geyoro, but Leitzig makes a remarkable parry with the foot (26th), while Kadidiatou Diani stumbles on the Bayern goalkeeper a few moments later (28th). And, unfortunately, at this level efficiency is essential. Moreover, the backlash is not long in being felt. Three minutes later, Klara Bühl enters on her right foot from the left lane and triggers a shot that Schüller deflects in spite of herself into the Parisian goal (2-1, 55th). The teams are once more tied (3-3 on the whole of the two matches), the nightmare scenario then takes shape. Then besieged, Paris held on as well as it might… Make way for an extension. After 15 balanced first minutes, it was finally the Parisians who found the fault thanks to Ramona Bachmann (2-2, 113th) who had just replaced Hamraoui a few minutes earlier. With this draw, PSG qualified for the semi-finals. Les Parisiennes will face either OL or Juventus.
