Every once in a while a match comes along that reminds us all why football is referred to as the beautiful game.
Paris St-Germain's record-breaking 5-4 Champions League semi-final first-leg victory over Bayern Munich was one such occasion.
It was the highest scoring semi-final since Eintracht Frankfurt beat Rangers 6-3 in the 1959-60 European Cup - and will live long in the memory.
Not for its tactical genius or calculated gameplans, but for two sides with remarkable attacking quality and throwing everything at it in the hope of securing a place in next month's final in Budapest.
In a campaign where set-pieces have become king, defensive interventions are celebrated like goals and the long throw-in has made a comeback, this was a refreshing reminder that simply scoring more goals than your opponent can be the key to success.
