It was supposed to be a night of revenge, but FC Bayern came up short against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semifinal second leg.

PSG, featuring world footballer Ousmane Dembélé, march on to the final. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia teed up Dembélé for a lightning-fast opener after just two minutes—a brutal early blow for Munich. Bayern’s usually dominant attack, led by Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Díaz, carved out chance after chance but were let down by their own lack of precision or PSG goalkeeper Matvei Safonov.
There was a lot of controversy when Vitinha clearly hit the ball onto his teammate João Neves’ hand in his own penalty area during a clearance (31.), yet no whistle was blown.
