Defending champions Paris Saint-Germain eliminated Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich 6-5 on aggregate in the second leg of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League semi-final, thanks to a goal from Dembele. Enrique expressed his delight at the team's impressive performance in the Champions League and urged them to continue their efforts.
In the 3rd minute, Kvalatschlia passed the ball back from the penalty area, and Dembele slotted it home, giving Paris Saint-Germain a dream start with a 1-0 lead.
In stoppage time of the second half, Alphonso Davies played a through ball to Kane, who turned and fired a shot into the net, helping Bayern Munich equalize the score at 1-1.
Ultimately, Paris Saint-Germain were held to a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena, but still managed to eliminate Bayern Munich with a 6-5 aggregate score, securing their place in the Champions League final once again.
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique said, "It's incredible. I think we've shown an extremely high level of performance in this game and throughout the season, especially in the Champions League. We played against one of the best teams in the world away from home and finished the game with enough maturity and character, which proves what kind of team we are."
“Nearly 4,000 traveling fans were with us through the tough times, because there are always challenges in a game, but we are very happy. We proved that we not only love ball possession, but also know how to defend well when we have to.”
Enrique also said, "Since joining Paris Saint-Germain three years ago, we have always been able to feel the connection between the team and the fans. This is very important because it feels really great to be able to share all of this with the fans and to enjoy playing for Paris Saint-Germain so much."
“We must continue to work hard because we are one game away from winning the Champions League. At the same time, we also need to beat Brest in Ligue 1 to win the league title, so it is very important to keep moving forward.”
