“Ousmane Dembélé struck inside three minutes to silence the Allianz Arena, converting a Khvicha Kvaratskhelia assist to give PSG an immediate away goal and completely alter the complexion of the tie.”
Pivotal“Harry Kane bundled home a 90th-minute equaliser after Nicolas Jackson's shot had been saved, giving Bayern a consolation leveller that mattered nothing on aggregate as PSG's elimination-night rearguard finally cracked one moment too late.”

Outstanding performance
Paris Saint Germain•AttackerParis Saint-Germain arrived at the Allianz Arena knowing a draw would see them through on aggregate, and they executed that gameplan with ruthless efficiency — stunning Bayern inside three minutes through Ousmane Dembélé, then absorbing wave after wave of pressure across the remaining 87. Bayern dominated every statistical category that matters in open play: 66 percent possession, 18 shots, 74 dangerous attacks to PSG's 24, and a passing accuracy of 87 percent — yet consistently found goalkeeper and woodwork in their way, squandering two big chances before Kane's dramatic 90th-minute leveller gave the scoreline a flattering look. PSG's 28 tackles told the real story of their evening — a disciplined, organised rearguard that crowded space, absorbed pressure and hit on the counter when openings arose. For Bayern, Kane's late goal was a consolation in the most literal sense; the Germans are eliminated from the Champions League, their season now reduced to domestic pursuits, while PSG march on to the next round having managed this tie across both legs with considerable nous.
