UCL Semi-Final Shock: Neuer Concedes Five Without a Save as PSG Edge Bayern 5-4
Bayern legend Manuel Neuer endured a disastrous night as PSG stunned Bayern Munich 5-4 in their Champions League semi-final first leg. The hosts landed five shots on target and Neuer failed to make a single save, marking the first time in 16 UCL seasons a goalkeeper has conceded five goals in a knockout match without a stop. Opta data highlights PSG’s ruthless efficiency, producing 1.91 xG from two big chances. Bayern, despite generating 3.06 xG and enjoying 57% possession, missed three clear opportunities and saw their 19-game unbeaten run end. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Joao Neves and Ousmane Dembélé found the net for PSG, while Harry Kane, Michael Olise, Dayot Upamecano and Luis Díaz replied for Bayern. At 40, Neuer’s form has dipped, with the lowest save percentage among top-flight goalkeepers over 1,500 minutes. The second leg takes place on May 6 at the Allianz Arena in Munich, where Bayern must overturn this dramatic deficit.
