Paris Saint-Germain defeats Bayern Munich and sets second Champions League final in a row

PSG and Bayern draw 1-1 but PSG advances on aggregate to the Champions League final.
Javier Escribano Editor Spain Updated 7 May 2026

Paris Saint-Germain will play for their second Champions League title in a row, defeating Bayern Munich in the semi-final, despite the match in Munich ending in a 1-1, 6-5 on aggregate. Both goals were at the tails of the match: Dembélé scored in the third minute and, despite having a two goal lead, still pursued for more goals, while Bayern only managed to equal the match in the 94th minute, with a clinical shot by Harry Kane.

Only one minute and a half was played afterwards, and Bayern was unable to achieve what would have been an incredible comeback, and so their hopes for a treble, after winning the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal, ended in the cruellest way.

PSG vs. Arsenal will be a never before seen final, but a repeat from the semi-finals last year, in which PSG defeated Arsenal in both matches, 2-1 and 1-0. Who do you think will win the Champions League this year? Remember that the final, in Budapest, will start at 18:00 CEST, 17:00 BST on May 30.
