PSG had secured a thrilling 5-4 victory in the first leg in Paris, booking a place in the final in Budapest on May 30, where they will face Arsenal FC.
In the 3rd minute, Ousmane Dembele fired the visitors ahead after linking up with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who made a blistering run down the left flank.
In the 30th minute, the referee waved away Bayern’s penalty appeals despite a handball by Nuno Mendes, who was already on a yellow card.
In 90+4 minutes, Harry Kane scored a late consolation goal, with an assist from Alphonso Davies but it was not enough to force extra time, per BBC.
Meanwhile, World Cup winner Ousmane Dembele has scored a total of seven goals in the UEFA Champions League this season, including five in his last three.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has also become the first player to score or assist in seven consecutive Champions League knockout stage games in a single season.
The Georgian international drew level with Kylian Mbappe for the most goal contributions in the UCL season with 16 (10 goals, six assists), per ESPN.
