Holders Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) set up a Champions League final against Arsenal after a 1-1 second-leg draw at Bayern Munich secured a 6-5 aggregate victory on Wednesday.
PSG exploded on the counter less than three minutes in, and Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele put Luis Enrique’s visitors ahead on the night and two goals up in the tie.
PSG largely succeeded in subduing Bayern’s attacking threat, despite Harry Kane’s stoppage-time goal.
On their return to Munich’s Allianz Arena, the scene of their greatest triumph against Inter Milan in last year’s final, PSG once again emphasised their excellence in a competition they coveted without success for so long.
Arsenal defeat Atletico Madrid to reach first Champions League final in 20 years
The French giants will be favourites to lift the trophy for a second successive season when they face Premier League leaders Arsenal on May 30 in Budapest.
They are hoping to become only the second back-to-back winners since 1990, after Real Madrid.
Bayern were angered by some first-half refereeing decisions but lacked the potency they showed in their 5-4 first-leg loss in Paris.
The six-time European champions have still not reached the final since beating PSG in the 2020 showpiece in Lisbon.
