Arsenal will face titleholders Paris Saint-Germain in Champions League final

Arsenal will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final, after the French side beat Bayern Munich 6-5 in the semi-finals.

The clubs will meet in the final in Budapest on 30 May, with the Gunners looking to triumph in Europe's elite club competition for the first time.

It is also only Arsenal's second appearance in the Champions League finals. It will be PSG's third appearance and the Paris club are the current titleholders, having won the competition for the first time last year.

Wednesday's game saw Ousmane Dembele score early at the Allianz Arena in Munich, putting PSG 6-4 ahead on aggregate after last week's 5-4 classic.

Bayern striker and former Tottenham Hotspur talisman Harry Kane scored deep into injury time, but it was not enough to overturn a two-goal deficit.

Controversy broke out in the first half, though: Bayern felt PSG's Nuno Mendes should have been sent off for deliberate handball when already on a booking.

Referee Joao Pinheiro gave the foul in the opposite direction for a handball by Bayern's Konrad Laimer.

Speaking after the game, PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said: "It's magnificent, two finals.

"Now we will go there and try to fetch a second star. I said to the players we are warriors."

PSG midfielder Joao Neves added: "We know how to suffer and we're ready for what we have to face."

It has been two decades since Arsenal reached the finals of the competition. In 2006 - the club's only other appearance in the final - they fell to a 2-1 defeat to Barcelona in Paris after taking the lead but later going down to 10 men when goalkeeper Jens Lehmann was sent off.

Arsenal's women's team, however, have fared better in European competitions, lifting the Women's Champions League - previously called the UEFA Women's Cup - on two occasions, with the most recent coming in 2025.
