PSG Edge Bayern 6-5 to Reach Champions League Final Against Arsenal

The holders return to Budapest seeking back-to-back European titles.

Overview

  • PSG, which drew 1-1 in Munich on Wednesday, advanced 6-5 on aggregate after Ousmane Dembélé scored in the third minute and Harry Kane equalised in stoppage time.
  • Luis Enrique praised his team’s character as PSG traded the nine-goal first leg for a disciplined, pressing display that kept Bayern at arm’s length for most of the night.
  • Vincent Kompany said key moments were decided by officials, citing disputed handball interpretations and a potential second booking for Nuno Mendes that did not come.
  • The May 30 final at Budapest’s Puskás Arena pairs PSG’s high-output attack with an Arsenal side that has allowed only six goals in the competition.
  • In the early build-up, Harry Kane called PSG slight favourites, and PSG are set for a longer preparation window than Arsenal because their domestic season finishes earlier.
