Paris Saint-Germain advanced to the Champions League final with a 6-5 aggregate victory over Bayern Munich after a 1-1 draw in the second leg at Allianz Arena. Ousmane Dembélé opened the scoring in the third minute following a swift attack initiated by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia down the left flank. PSG dominated large portions of the match, creating multiple clear chances, but were limited by poor finishing. Bayern Munich's Harry Kane scored in stoppage time, making the final scoreline closer than the flow of the game suggested. Despite Bayern registering 18 shots, few were of high quality, with Jamal Musiala failing to capitalize on key opportunities. PSG's defense, led by captain Marquinhos, remained largely untroubled after the early goal. The first leg at Parc des Princes ended in a 5-4 win for PSG, also marked by defensive lapses. The French side now face Arsenal in the final on May 30 in Budapest. Luis Enrique's team delivered a commanding performance over two legs, showcasing their attacking depth and tactical control. The result positions PSG as strong favorites heading into the final.
PSG reached the final without ever appearing to be in danger, despite conceding five goals across two legs against Bayern. That they could dominate a team of Bayern's stature and still allow such a scoreline reveals lingering defensive fragility at the highest level. Ousmane Dembélé's early goal in Munich proved decisive, but the inability to kill the game off may give Arsenal hope. No Nigerian or African player featured in the match.
