Lyon 4-4 PSG: 25th February 2012 (Ligue 1)
A rare draw in this fixture, but one of the most prolific in terms of goals! Back in the 2011-2012 season, Olympique Lyonnais welcomed Paris Saint-Germain to the Stade de Gerland in the 25th round of Ligue 1 and it sure didn't disappoint. The scoring was opened by Guilaume Hoarau for Les Parisiens before Bafétimbi Gomis, Lisandro Lopez, and Michel Bastos wasted no time in responding, scoring three goals in six minutes to regain the lead for the home side. Nenê pulled one back for PSG before halftime, before a flurry of three goals saw both sides cancel each other out.
