"Having extended their advantage through Ousmane Dembele's third-minute strike, Luis Enrique's side took a different approach than they did in last week's 5-4 win at the Parc des Princes, producing a resolute defensive display. Harry Kane broke their resistance four minutes into second-half stoppage time, but it was too little, too late for Bayern as PSG maintained their one-goal aggregate lead."
"A flowing PSG move led to Dembele silencing the Allianz Arena early on, with the Ballon d'Or winner hammering past Manuel Neuer after being picked out by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's cutback. Another driving run from Kvaratskhelia resulted in his shot deflecting into the side netting, then Bayern went close on a couple of occasions."
"Bayern struggled to build momentum in the second half, and they were indebted to Neuer for keeping them in the tie as he reacted well to thwart Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue, the latter after a powerful run past Josip Stanisic, Konrad Laimer, Joshua Kimmich and Tah. In truth, PSG could have been out of sight before Kane lashed home."
PSG secured their place in the Champions League final by holding Bayern Munich to a 1-1 draw in the second leg of their semi-final. Ousmane Dembele opened the scoring in the third minute with a clinical finish from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia's cutback. Bayern responded late when Harry Kane scored in the 94th minute, but PSG's one-goal aggregate advantage proved decisive. Unlike their attacking display in the first leg, PSG adopted a resolute defensive approach, with goalkeeper Matvey Safonov and Manuel Neuer making crucial saves. PSG will face Arsenal in the final.
