Paris Saint-Germain booked their ticket to Budapest with a 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich, sealing a 6-5 aggregate victory to reach back-to-back Champions League finals.

The intense semi-final clash on Wednesday at the Allianz Arena saw Luis Enrique’s side emerge as victors. 

PSG made the perfect start, with Ousmane Dembélé opening the scoring just three minutes into the game, finishing brilliantly from a well-worked move involving Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

The assist from Kvaratskhelia makes him the first player in Champions League history with the most goal contributions in seven consecutive knockout matches, registering 10 goals and six assists.

The visitors unsettled Bayern with their high-pressing attack, as Doué, Kvaratskhelia, Mendes, and Barcola created numerous chances, repeatedly forcing Manuel Neuer into action.

Bayern responded with several opportunities of their own through Olise, Kane, Díaz, and Karl. 

The home side was also denied a potential handball opportunity that VAR did not review.

Deep into stoppage time, Harry Kane pulled one back with a powerful strike, levelling the match on the night following an assist from Alphonso Davies.

The result followed a thrilling first-leg tie in Paris, where both sides produced a nine-goal spectacle at the Parc des Princes.

The win sends PSG to Budapest where they will face Arsenal in the Champions League final on May 30 at the Puskás Arena.

The Gunners secured their place after defeating Atlético Madrid at the Emirates, reaching the final for the second time in 20 years and marking a historic moment for Mikel Arteta’s side.
