Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich UEFA Champions League Semi-Final: Highlights, Key Moments & Match Summary

Ousmane Dembele’s early goal turned out to be the key moment as Paris Saint-Germain came through a tight UEFA Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich, winning 6-5 on aggregate despite a late goal from Harry Kane.

PSG will now meet Arsenal in Budapest in the final after holding firm at the back and showing moments of brilliance from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who Steven Gerrard called “the best winger in the world” after he set up Dembele’s opening goal.

Even though PSG coach Luis Enrique was hoping for a dominant show, his team mainly relied on strong defending and hard work to get through the second leg in a tense atmosphere at the Allianz Arena.

Talking about the match, Kvaratskhelia almost set things up for another early goal just three minutes in. He ran onto Fabian Ruiz’s perfect pass over the Bayern defence, sprinted down the wing, and cut the ball back for Dembele, who hit it past Manuel Neuer to put PSG two goals ahead.

Musiala and Olise almost got on the end of a cross from Diaz shortly after, but PSG’s defenders got there just in time. That kind of last-ditch defending kept happening throughout the night.

In the end, PSG held their nerves and eventually emerged victorious, showcasing why they are a top football club in the world.

In this article, we will take a look at the highlights of this match that remained highly competitive until the end. Let’s first take a quick overview of the match summary below.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Bayern Munich UEFA Champions League Match Summary

Paris Saint-Germain became the first French club to reach three UEFA Champions League finals after drawing 1-1 with Bayern Munich in the second leg of their semi-final. The result meant the holders went through 6-5 on aggregate.

PSG went into the match in Germany already leading from the first leg, and they took control again with an early goal in the third minute.

It was a simple but well-worked goal. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ran onto Fabian Ruiz’s perfect pass through the defence and set up Ousmane Dembele, who finished first time into the roof of the net.

Bayern’s wingers then tried to step up and pull their team back into the tie, with Luis Diaz and Michael Olise both sending their efforts over the bar.

Vincent Kompany’s side began to test the PSG defence more, and the Bayern coach was angry on the touchline when they were not given a penalty after Vitinha’s clearance hit Joao Neves’ arm in the box.

Neves then added to Bayern’s frustration soon after, as Manuel Neuer made a strong save to push away his header from Vitinha’s deep free-kick at the far post.

Meanwhile, PSG stayed well organised after the break, dealing with a Bayern side that kept probing but couldn’t really break them down.

Luis Enrique’s team still looked dangerous on the counter, and Manuel Neuer had more work to do than Gianluigi Donnarumma, making good saves to stop Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue.

Interestingly, it wasn’t PSG at their best, but they still defended strongly against Bayern’s usually sharp attack. In the end, that was enough to send them into another Champions League final, where Arsenal are waiting for them in what should be a cracking clash.

PSG are often praised for their strong attack, but this time their defending stood out as they put in a solid performance as the defending European champions.
