Overview
- PSG advanced after a 5-4 win in Paris and a 1-1 draw in Munich on Wednesday, with Ousmane Dembélé scoring early and Harry Kane equalizing in the 90+4 minute.
- Referee João Pinheiro’s decisions sparked anger at Bayern, including no second yellow for Nuno Mendes for handball and no penalty for João Neves because the ball deflected off a teammate under the handball rule.
- Joshua Kimmich confronted the referee and was booked, Manuel Neuer said Bayern “were not killers,” and coach Vincent Kompany voiced frustration but said he is already focused on learning for next season.
- Bayern failed to create clear chances and drew criticism for in-game choices, with Kompany delaying changes and leaving the in-form Leon Goretzka unused.
- PSG will face Arsenal in the Budapest final on May 30, while Bayern turn to the DFB-Pokal final against Stuttgart and begin planning targeted summer reinforcements.
