Paris Saint-Germain qualified for the Champions League final after a 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, thereby closing two dramatic semi-finals with a 6-5 overall victory.
Despite playing away in Germany, PSG entered the game confidently and soon silenced Allianz Arena. In the 3rd minute, Ousmane Dembele unleashed an extremely fast volley in the penalty area, defeating Manuel Neuer to open the score for the French representative.
The early goal helped PSG easily deploy their signature counter-attacking formation, while pushing Bayern Munich into a situation where they were forced to push up to attack.
In the remainder of the first half, the home team continuously increased pressure to find an equalizer. Michael Olise, Jamal Musiala and Harry Kane all had notable opportunities, but goalkeeper Matvey Safonov played excellently to maintain the advantage for PSG.
Stepping into the second half, Bayern Munich continued to push up the squad and maintain suffocating pressure on PSG's half. Luis Diaz and Olise's wing runs helped the Bundesliga representative create many dangerous situations. However, the away team's defense under the command of Marquinhos and Willian Pacho still stood firm against great pressure from the opponent.
Not only defending solidly, PSG also made Bayern's hearts skip a beat many times with sharp counter-attacks. Desire Doue and Kvaratskhelia both had clear opportunities to increase the gap, but Manuel Neuer still proved his class with a series of important saves.
Bayern's efforts were finally rewarded in the 90+4 minute. Harry Kane turned and finished dangerously in the penalty area, sending the ball straight into the top corner of PSG's goal, rekindling hope for the home team in the last minutes of injury time.
However, the remaining time was not enough for the "Bayern" to create a comeback. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, helping PSG win a ticket to the Champions League final.
In the final, PSG will face Arsenal - the team that just eliminated Atletico Madrid.
