Holders Paris Saint-Germain have booked their place in the UEFA Champions League final after a tense 1-1 draw away to Bayern Munich secured a 6-5 aggregate victory in the semi-final.
Despite late pressure from Bayern, PSG’s early strike proved decisive as they progressed to face Arsenal FC in the final scheduled for May 30 in Budapest.
Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembélé gave Luis Enrique’s side the perfect start, scoring inside the opening minutes after a swift counterattack that stunned the home crowd at the Allianz Arena.
Bayern, who were expected to mount a strong response, struggled to break down PSG’s disciplined defensive setup. Even though Harry Kane eventually scored in stoppage time, it was too late to overturn the deficit.
The match saw Bayern dominate possession but lack cutting edge in the final third, while PSG repeatedly threatened on the counterattack and came close to extending their lead through several chances.
With this result, PSG continue their push to retain the Champions League crown, setting up a blockbuster final against Arsenal in what promises to be a high-stakes showdown between two in-form European giants.
