PSG absorbed Bayern Munich’s late surge and booked their place in the Champions League final despite a 1-1 second-leg draw at the Allianz Arena.
The holders arrived with work left to do and left with the result they needed, sealing a 6-5 aggregate victory after Bayern’s final push came too late. Harry Kane struck in injury time to earn the German side a draw on the night, but reports indicate PSG had already done enough across the two legs to keep control of the tie.
Key Facts
- PSG drew 1-1 with Bayern Munich in the second leg.
- The French side advanced 6-5 on aggregate.
- Harry Kane scored Bayern’s injury-time equaliser.
- PSG will face Arsenal in the final in Budapest.
The result sends PSG back to European club football’s biggest match and keeps their title defence alive. That alone marks the scale of the night. Bayern made the arena tense until the closing moments, but PSG’s earlier work in the semi-final gave them the margin they needed when the pressure peaked.
PSG bent under Bayern’s late pressure, but they never broke where it counted most: on the aggregate scoreboard.
The final now brings a meeting with Arsenal in Budapest, a matchup that carries both pressure and opportunity. PSG can chase another European crown. Arsenal can try to stop the holders on the biggest stage in club football. Sources suggest the build-up will focus not just on form, but on who handles the occasion better.
What comes next will define how this run gets remembered. PSG have reached the final; now they must finish it. Bayern, meanwhile, leave with the frustration of a rally that arrived seconds too late. The margin looks slim on paper, and that is exactly why the final will matter so much.
