Munich is the city of "saints" - Paris Saint-Germain has reached a new Champions League final in the place where they were crowned European kings for the first time in history last year.
After an unforgettable 5:4 win at the Parc des Princes, the second leg at the Allianz Arena did not bring atomic football - the team of the brilliant Luis Enrique bought a ticket to Budapest with a draw (1:1) and scheduled a showdown with Arsenal.
The French "L'Equipe" had a romantic message from the Bavarian capital: "Lots of kisses (greetings) from Munich."
PSG opened the scoring for Bayern with three moves in the third minute, Fabian Ruiz, Hvicha Kvaracheli and scorer Ousmane Dembele created the 1-0 lead, and then Luis Enrique showed that he had discovered all of his rivals' flaws in the first match, especially in attack.
Vincent Kompany's team tried to attack, to create real chances, but it wasn't easy against the European champions, even for a goal-scoring machine like the Munich club. More precisely, PSG in transition were more dangerous, and maestro Hvicha Kvaracheli once again taught the lesson.
Apart from a few not-so-dangerous chances, all the Bavarians managed was a goal by Harry Kane, which came too late - in the 94th minute.
Olympique de Marseille was for a long time the only French club with the Champions League trophy, Paris Saint-Germain broke the curse last year, and now they will play in the grand final for the third time.
After Lisbon (defeat to Bayern), Munich (win over Inter), it's time for Budapest and Arsenal. "Saints" on the European throne for the second time or history for the "Gunners" and their first crown?
End - Paris Saint-Germain does not lose in Munich, the European champion is in a new final.
94' GOOOAL - Harry Kane scores the ball into the net (1:1). Is it too late for Bayern? One minute left.
87' - Luis Diaz created a good chance for Lennart Karl, but Bayern's hope shot poorly. In the same minute, Barkola threatened on the other side, but Neuer was sure.
79' - Quaradona is enjoying himself tonight - he once again outplayed the Bayern defense with magical moves, but he didn't have the strength to shoot better from an excellent position.
72' - Kvarachelija once again "shuffled" the Bayern defense, after which Due hit the outside of the net.
When it comes to our poll, at first the predictions were slightly in favor of Paris Saint-Germain, but as the match went on the percentages in favor of the European champions grew.
69' - Good move by Bayern, but Diaz's shot after a pass from "reserve" Davis was stopped by Safonov.
After him, Olise also tried, but he shot poorly from a good position.
64' - PSG are dangerous in transition. Another great shot from Due, but Neuer made a great save.
The extent to which PSG "limited" Bayern's attack is perhaps best demonstrated by the fact that Harry Kane only had one contact with the ball in the opponent's penalty area in the first half.
57' - Two dangerous attempts are coming for Paris Saint-Germain - Due and Kvaracheli threatened.
55' - Bayern is still trying, but only a harmless shot by Pavlović is all he managed in 10 minutes of the second half.
The second part is starting - can this match be "cooked" too?
End of the first half.
Paris Saint-Germain leads 1:0, 6:4 on aggregate, but what is more important for the French team - this time they reminded us how serious they are, making Bayern's attack look almost, then powerless.
Despite the excellent defense of the "Saints", the Bavarians were also annoyed by referee Pinheiro - Bayern believe that he had to send off one of his compatriots (Mendes) and, after the play, point to the white spot with his hand for another (Neves).
However, it's far from over in this great doubleheader...
45'+2 - Another dangerous attempt by Bayern - Ta headed in after a cross from Kimmich, but his shot ended wide of the goal.
44' - Biggest chance for Bayern - Olise opened the scoring for Musiala with his heel, Bayern's "ten" had a great time, but his shot was brilliantly stopped by Safonov.
34' - Neuer saves Bayern - A phenomenal save by the German legend after Neveš headed the ball.
30' - Once again, the Portuguese are in the spotlight. The ball hit Neves in the hand in the PSG penalty area, but Pinheiro and VAR believe it was not a penalty.
29' - Bayern are demanding a second yellow card for Mendes. The Portuguese stopped the Bavarians' action by stopping the ball with his hand. However, Mendes' compatriot Joao Pinheiro saw some questionable reaction earlier.
28' - New chance for Bayern - Oliseh shot dangerously past Mendes, but the ball went over the goal.
22' - Luis Diaz is in a good mood, midfielder Zaire - Emery, who replaces Achraf Hakimi at right back, has a lot of trouble with the Colombian.
The Bayern winger "kicked out" the young Frenchman with some brilliant dribbling, but his shot went wide of the goal.
