Holders PSG set up UCL final with Arsenal

Defending champions Paris Saint Germain drew 1-1 with hosts Bayern Munich ​on Wednesday to book their spot in ‌the Champions League final for the second consecutive season with a 6-5 aggregate victory in an enthralling ​tie.

The French side will face Arsenal ​in the 30 May showcase game in ⁠Budapest after the London club’s 1-0 victory over ​Atletico Madrid on Tuesday secured a 2-1 aggregate ​win.

Holding a 5-4 advantage from a scintillating first leg, PSG got off to a perfect start when Ousmane ​Dembele, who scored twice last week, rifled ​home from a perfectly timed Khvicha Kvaratskhelia cutback in the ‌third ⁠minute.

The visitors spent much of the game soaking up Bayern pressure with the hosts needing two goals to level the tie, and ​waiting to ​hit them ⁠on the break.

PSG found more space in the second half as ​the Germans grew more desperate, and ​went ⁠close through Desire Doue and Kvaratskhelia late in the game.

Harry Kane grabbed the equaliser for ⁠Bayern ​deep into stoppage time ​but it was too little too late for the Bundesliga ​champions.
