What was the PSG vs Bayern Munich Champions League semifinal result on April 28?

Bayern's Comeback Effort

Bayern Munich fell behind 5-2 during the match but mounted a comeback to make it a close contest. The German club's resilience was evident as they scored twice more to narrow the deficit, though it proved insufficient for a draw or victory.

Kompany's Suspension Impact
