Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday qualified for the UEFA Champions League final after a 1-1 draw with Bayern Munich.

The result saw the French side advance 6-5 on aggregate, reaching the final for the second consecutive time.

PSG, the defending champions, took an early lead in the third minute through Ousmane Dembele, who converted a cutback pass from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Bayern Munich dominated possession for much of the game, but PSG’s defence remained resolute to limit clear scoring opportunities.

Harry Kane equalised for the German side in stoppage time, but the goal came too late to change the outcome of the tie.

PSG will face Arsenal in the final scheduled for May 30 in Budapest.
