Holders Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) advanced to the Champions League final after a 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich, securing a 6-5 aggregate victory. The match, held on May 6 in Munich, began with Ousmane Dembélé scoring in just the third minute, which set PSG on the path to maintaining their lead from the first leg, where they had won 5-4, according to Le Monde and Al Jazeera.
Bayern Munich's Harry Kane managed to equalize in stoppage time, but it was too late to change the outcome for the hosts, who have not reached the final since defeating PSG in 2020. PSG's defense played a critical role in their success, effectively neutralizing Bayern's offensive efforts, as noted by Reuters and NPR.
Despite dominating possession, Bayern's inability to convert opportunities proved costly. PSG's coach, Luis Enrique, praised the character of his team, reflecting on their journey to a second consecutive final. "We're so happy to reach a second Champions League final in a row," he said, according to Reuters.
The final against Arsenal is scheduled for May 30 in Budapest, adding to the growing excitement surrounding the match. PSG's president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, stated their aim is to "fetch a second star," referring to the coveted Champions League trophy, as reported by NPR and Le Monde.
