PSG resisted in Munich and confirmed its passage to the Champions Final
After the spectacular 5-4 achieved in the first leg at the Princes' Park, the return duel had a completely different development. PSG a He opted for a more balanced match, with defensive order and rhythm control, leaving behind the offensive exchange that marked the initial eliminatory.
The Parisian team struck very early thanks to Ousmane Dembélé, who opened the scoring just after two minutes and 20 seconds. It came from the speed of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who found spaces and assisted the French attacker after a combination with Fabián Ruiz.
With that point, the defending champion extended its advantage in the series and forced Bayern Munich to row against the current during practically the entire match.
Bayern of Munich reacted late and was eliminated at home
The Vincent Kompany team tried to respond with high pressure and constant attacks, but found a much solider version of Paris Saint-Germain, especially in defence.
Although names like Harry Kane, Jamal Musiala, Michael Olise and Luis Díaz sought to create danger, the German team had difficulty breaking the Parisian block. The clearest approaches came in isolated actions, while PSG controlled the spaces and reduced the rival's options.
The controversy also appeared in the Allianz Arena after two handball actions within the area that the Bavarian team claimed. However, neither the referee Joao Pinheiro nor the VAR indicated a penalty.
When the match seemed defined, Harry Kane got the 1-1 tie at minute 90 4', but the goal arrived too late to avoid Bayern's elimination.
Luis Enrique consolidates a more complete PSG

The mobility of their footballers, the precision in start and the imbalance of players like Kvaratskhelia and Dembélé made a difference again, but now accompanied by a a much firmer defensive structure.
The Parisian team will play this third Champions League Final, with the objective of remaining as the great European power of the moment.
