PSG, Arsenal Reach Champions League Final Rematch
Paris Saint-Germain advanced to a second straight UEFA Champions League final by defeating Bayern Munich 6-5 on aggregate in the semifinals, setting up a rematch with Arsenal at Budapest's Puskas Arena on May 30.
PSG secured their place with a 1-1 draw in the second leg at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday. Ousmane Dembele scored in the third minute to give the visitors an early lead on the night and a two-goal advantage in the tie following last week's 5-4 first-leg win at Parc des Princes. Harry Kane netted a late consolation for Bayern in second-half stoppage time. The French club, who won the competition last season with a 5-0 victory over Inter Milan, became the first French team to reach three finals and the first since Liverpool in 2017-19 to make back-to-back appearances.
Arsenal earned their inaugural final berth by overcoming Atletico Madrid 2-1 on aggregate, highlighted by Bukayo Saka's first-half tap-in during Tuesday's second leg at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners conceded just six goals across 14 matches this season, the fewest in the competition, and lead the Premier League by five points over Manchester City with games remaining.
