Paris Saint-Germain advanced to a second consecutive Champions League final on Wednesday night following a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.

Ousmane Dembélé struck within the first three minutes in Munich to extend PSG's aggregate advantage to 6-4.

England international Harry Kane scored for Bayern in the closing stages of second-half stoppage time to make it 6-5.

But PSG, who swept past Inter Milan 5-0 in the 2025 Champions League final, held on to set up a showdown against Arsenal on 30 May at the Puskas Arena in Budapest.

PSG boss Luis Enrique vowed before the game in Munich that his side would attack Bayern despite going into the second leg with a 5-4 advantage.

After Dembélé's early goal, his side fell back and absorbed Bayern's pressure, but threatened on the counter-attack.

'Pleased to be in the final'

"We're really pleased to be playing in another final," PSG defender Willian Pacho told French broadcaster Canal +.

"I'm pleased with the team's commitment," added Pacho, who was deemed man-of-the-match.

"Our mentality of defending as a unit is what sets us apart. The forwards help us defend and we help them attack. That's what makes the difference compared to other teams."

On Sunday, PSG continue their quest for a fifth successive Ligue 1 crown and a record-extending 14th top flight title overall when they host Brest at the Parc des Princes.

They go into the 32nd round of fixtures of the 34-game Ligue 1 season six points ahead of second-placed Lens.
