The effort to rank Champions League semifinals is inherently an exercise in defining how soccer measures greatness. CBS Sports recently posed that question by examining whether the latest PSG versus Bayern Munich tie belongs among the best. The attempt invites a deeper tension: a match’s place in history depends on the metric applied. Some prioritize technical quality and tactical complexity; others value narrative stakes, such as a defending champion against a perennial challenger. PSG and Bayern delivered a high-scoring, rapidly shifting two legs, but the analysis at CBS implicitly asks whether thrill alone outweighs structural significance. That question remains unresolved. A semifinal can be celebrated for its drama and still fall short of the matches that reshaped the sport’s strategic landscape. The exercise reveals more about the criteria we choose than about the matches themselves.
