Minutes into the match, Ousmane Dembélé found the net. Paris Saint-Germain ended up sharing points with Bayern Munich, finishing 1-1 on Wednesday. That outcome pushed them through to the UEFA Champions League final. Victorious by just one goal in the prior leg at home, they advanced thanks to a 6-5 total scoreline.

PSG seized early command in the return match. A slick pass from Fabián Ruiz sparked movement downfield - Kvaratskhelia darting past defenders with sharp bursts. He spotted Dembélé free near the box; one smooth strike sent the ball skimming beneath the bar just three minutes in.

Bayern’s late response comes too late against Paris Saint-Germain

Harry Kane scored during added minutes, yet the goal came too late to save Bayern's chance at winning three trophies - league, cup, and European crown, in one season.

May 30 brings the final clash in Budapest, the current European titleholders set to meet Arsenal. Coming off a 1-0 win Tuesday, Arsenal moves forward 2-1 overall after overcoming Atletico Madrid.

Out of breath but beaming, PSG's boss Nasser Al-Khelaifi hailed the squad’s grit following their latest step into a European showdown. A moment like this, he noted, feels huge, calling it brilliant while hinting at chasing down that second Champions League crown now.

Backbone of PSG held firm this go around, a sharp change from last week’s leaky showing. Through long stretches, Bayern’s punch up front - Kane, Díaz, Olise- found doors locked, paths blocked.

In tough moments, midfielder João Neves felt the squad held firm, earning recognition for their path to the final. When needed, he noted, Paris Saint-Germain stood ready to endure challenges at the back.

One goal was all it took for Bayern to equalise, yet before the game truly settled, supporters unfurled a huge banner that read “shoot us into the final.” Instead of responding, they fell behind. Paris moved fast on breakaways, finding spaces at the back too easily.

Out wide, Kvaratskhelia had room to breathe when the first goal came through. Meanwhile, Doué kept pressing near Dembélé, both poking at gaps while Bayern’s back line scrambled to respond.

Frustration built among the Germans due to multiple referee rulings. A handball by PSG's Nuno Mendes in the opening half looked clear enough for a second booking, at least in the eyes of Bayern athletes. Then came another moment, late in the game, João Neves tangled just inside the box - but nothing was given once again.

Bayern kept the ball for long stretches, yet PSG threatened more when breaking forward. After halftime, it was Doué and then Kvaratskhelia pushing Neuer hard, each probing the old keeper’s reflexes. The rhythm shifted often, moments sparking without warning.

That big 5-0 win against Inter Milan in last year’s final made Munich feel different for PSG. Most of the team that lifted the trophy remains together. Just one more victory stands between them and another European title. No club has done it twice in a row since Real Madrid managed the run.
