PSG Survive Nine-Goal Madness to Edge Bayern 5-4 — Boniface Watches From Afar

It was the most chaotic Champions League semi-final in years. And not a single Nigerian was on the pitch.

PSG beat Bayern Munich 5-4 in a nine-goal thriller at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday — Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé both scored twice, with João Neves adding a third. Bayern fought back through Kane, Olise, Upamecano, and Luis Díaz, but PSG held on. The second leg goes to Munich.

Victor Boniface, Nigeria’s in-form striker at Bayer Leverkusen, wasn’t there — his club having been knocked out in the quarterfinals. Lookman represents Nigeria’s only presence at the semi-final stage, lining up for Atlético Madrid against Arsenal on Wednesday night.

For Boniface, it’s a reminder of what’s still to come. The UCL semi-final stage is where he belongs — and 2026-27 is the target.
