Ambrit Stadium rocked today as two of the IM's top sides battled it out in an amazing match that really was a game of two halves.The re-entry of captain Pietu seemed to add a real edge to the French Champions' play and they looked dangerous from the off.
After the opening exchanges which saw Bayern dominate possession but PSG threaten on the break, it was in-form Manfredi who slid in the opener at the far post.
Nathan made it 2-0 with a thunderbolt from the right and Manfredi made it 3-0 early in the second half when he was on hand as usual to take advantage of a loose ball in the opponents box. When Nico made it 4-0, the neutrals were feeling sorry for Bayern and hoping for the final whistle.
But things were about to change!
Gabriele's strike from outside the box was not hit cleanly but it somehow got past Filippo in goal (a pity: he had just made a fantastic save a minute earlier). What seemed to be just a consolation goal turned out, however, to be the spark that lit the Germans' comeback fire.
Andrea picked up a loose ball outside the penalty area and, when everybody was expecting a pass, he took aim and fired it past Filippo: 4-2 and an unlikly comeback was suddenly more possible.
PSG were now suddenly unable to string their passes together and Bayern continued to press. One attack followed another and, with just three minutes left on the clock, Alex hammered in another goal to make it 4-3.
By now the crowd was totally captivated and most of them were urging on Gabriele and his team to a fourth goal. Aden almost supplied it but then Gabriele did and, at the final whistle, Bayern celebrated their point while Paris rued the two that were lost.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Gabriele 5, Andrea 4, Gustav 3, Manfredi 3, Nathan 3, Tiberio 2, Alex 2, Aden 1, Nico 1, Lorenzo 1, Filippo 1, Pietu 1, Tristano 1
