The defending champions scored early and defended doggedly, meaning Harry Kane&#8217;s late equaliser counted for nothing in the end.<\/p>\n<div data-testid=\"article-body\" data-affiliate-button-variant=\"B\">\n<div>\n<p><span>Bayern were caught cold inside the opening three minutes as Ousmane Dembele swept home following a superb run and cross from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to open up a two-goal advantage for the visitors. Bayern attempted to fight back, but were fortunate to not fall further behind when Manuel Neuer made a superb save to keep out Joao Neves&#8217; header.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The home side eventually tested Matvey Safonov when Jamal Musiala broke into the penalty area shortly before half-time and had his shot parried by the PSG goalkeeper, while Jonathan Tah sent a free header wide with the final act of the first half.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Despite their lead, PSG continued to create chances, and Neuer had to be on his toes to save twice from Desire Doue and with his feet from a Kvaratskhelia shot. At the other end, Luis Diaz forced Safonov into a save low to his right, but until Kane turned and fired into the roof of the net in stoppage time, they rarely looked like finding a way back into the tie. As a result, PSG will face Arsenal in the final in Budapest on May 30.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><strong>GOAL<\/strong><\/b><span>  rates Bayern&#8217;s players from the Allianz Arena&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bayern Munich&#8217;s hopes of reaching the Champions League final were ended on Wednesday as they&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5072,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5071"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5071\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
