Paris Saint-Germain secured their place in the UEFA Champions League final after a tense 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich in the second leg of their semi-final clash on Wednesday evening.
PSG Reach Champions League Final After Narrow Aggregate Victory Over Bayern Munich
The French champions progressed with a 6-5 aggregate victory following their thrilling 5-4 win in the first leg at the Parc des Princes.
PSG made the perfect start at the Allianz Arena when Ousmane Dembélé struck in the third minute to hand Luis Enrique’s side an early advantage and increase Bayern’s already difficult task.
The visitors maintained control for large periods of the contest as Bayern pushed desperately for a route back into the tie. Despite creating pressure late in the match, the Bundesliga giants struggled to break down a disciplined PSG defence.
Harry Kane eventually restored hope for Bayern deep into stoppage time with a dramatic equaliser, but the goal ultimately proved to be little more than consolation as the final whistle confirmed PSG’s progression.
The result sends Paris Saint-Germain into the Champions League final for the second consecutive season and the third time in the club’s history as they continue their pursuit of a long-awaited European crown.

PSG will now face Arsenal in the Champions League final on 30 May after the Premier League side overcame Atletico Madrid in the other semi-final.
