Bayern 1–1 PSG: Kane Strikes Late, But PSG Reach Budapest

Bayern Munich vs PSG Champions League

Three Minutes. Done.

Kvaratskhelia drove left. Tah’s knee got in the way. Ball broke loose.

Dembélé was already moving. He finished. Third minute. 1-0 on the night. 6-4 on aggregate.

Bayern needed three goals. They had 87 minutes left to get them. They managed one. In the 94th.

PSG are through. Budapest. May 30. Arsenal waiting.

Bayern Had Chances. Safonov Had Better.

They were not passive. That is worth saying.

Olise cut inside in the 27th and bent one toward the far post. Centimetres over. Musiala drove at Safonov just before half-time — low, hard, the right corner. Safonov got down and pushed it away. Tah headed a free kick wide in the last action of the first half.

Luis Díaz jinked into the area and squared for Olise. Nuno Mendes appeared from nowhere. Block. Brilliant. Could have been 1-1 right there.

A penalty shout when the ball hit João Neves on the arm — waved away. Replays suggested it had come off a PSG player first. Referee was not interested.

Half-time. Still 0-1 on the night. Still 5-4 on aggregate. Bayern needed two more in 45 minutes.

Kane Had One Touch in the Box. First Half. One.

24 total touches. One of them in the PSG penalty area.

That is how well Marquinhos and Pacho controlled him. Nuno Mendes covered the left side every time Bayern switched. Hakimi was relentless going forward but tracked every runner coming back.

PSG did not just attack and hope. They defended properly. A team that scored five goals in Paris last week showed up here and kept a side of Bayern’s quality to almost nothing for 93 minutes.

The second half was better for Bayern. Goretzka pushed higher. Sane kept at it down the left. But Safonov was commanding under every cross, sharp on every low shot.

Then the 94th minute arrived. Kane got a touch. Turned. Shot. Net. His 24th Champions League goal. Second player after Cristiano Ronaldo to score in six consecutive knockout-stage appearances.

The Allianz Arena erupted. For about ninety seconds. Then they remembered the aggregate score.

PSG held on. Whistle blew. That was it.

What Kvaratskhelia Did This Season

Seven consecutive knockout-stage games. Directly involved every single one. Goal or assist every time.

Nobody has done that in Champions League history. Not in one campaign. He is the first.

The assist for Dembélé tonight was the kind of thing that looks simple until you try to do it under pressure at the Allianz Arena with the tie on the line. Drive forward, draw the foul, ball breaks perfectly. His reading of that moment was everything.

PSG vs Arsenal. Budapest. May 30.

They won it here last season. Puskás Aréna. First ever Champions League title for PSG. Now they go back.

Arsenal got through Atletico Madrid. PSG got through Bayern. Both semi-finals were decided by one goal over two legs. Both finals have a team that has never won it — Arsenal — against a team that won it twelve months ago.

Dembélé. Kvaratskhelia. Safonov. The spine of this PSG side has been extraordinary all season. Luis Enrique has built something that knows how to win European games when the pressure is highest.

Arsenal are not afraid of them. Arteta has made that clear. The Emirates crowd pushed them through against Atletico. The neutrals will turn up in Budapest for a proper final.

One game. May 30.
