Paris Saint-Germain secured a 6-5 aggregate victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final, setting up a final clash with Arsenal. Ousmane Dembele's early goal in the second leg proved decisive, despite a late strike from Harry Kane.
Dembele fired PSG ahead in the third minute, capitalising on a Khvicha Kvaratskhelia assist. Bayern struggled to find their rhythm, with Jamal Musiala missing a key chance before half-time. Kane's 95th-minute goal came too late to alter the outcome.
Bayern manager Vincent Kompany expressed frustration over refereeing decisions across both legs, citing a penalty incident involving Joao Neves and a potential second yellow card for Nuno Mendes. 'It's a game of details,' he said, while acknowledging PSG's quality.
PSG's performance was described as authoritative, combining technical brilliance with defensive discipline. Kvaratskhelia was particularly impressive, tormenting Bayern's defence throughout. Luis Enrique's side now face Arsenal in the final on 30 May.
The Gunners will hope to avenge last season's semi-final defeat to PSG, where they lost 3-1 on aggregate despite a strong display in Paris. Gianluigi Donnarumma's heroics in that tie underscored the challenge ahead for Mikel Arteta's team.
