What happened: Ousmane Dembélé scored within the opening three minutes of PSG's Champions League semifinal return leg at Bayern Munich, per a post from Fabrizio Romano. The strike pushed the France international to 19 goals in all competitions this season, with 11 assists alongside per same-day reaction posts.

Dembélé's tally also extends a report/article/dembl-vows-psg-will-attack-in-champions-league-return-at-mun-2026-04-29">he made before the first leg</a> that PSG would press the tie rather than sit on it.
