Ousmane Dembélé scored early and Paris Saint-Germain eliminated Bayern Munich with a 1-1 draw to reach the Champions League final again today.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia raced clear after playing a simple one-two with Fabián Ruiz in midfield, then picked out the unmarked Dembélé to sweep the ball in under the crossbar in the third minute of the semifinal second leg.

By the time Harry Kane equalised in stoppage time it was too late for Bayern.

The draw gave PSG, the defending champion, a 6-5 win on aggregate after edging their encounter 5-4 in the first leg in Paris last week.

The French league leader will face Arsenal in the final in Budapest, Hungary, on May 31, after the Gunners defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 on Tuesday to progress 2-1 on aggregate.

The morning's headlines in 90 seconds, including the US strikes an Iranian flagged ship, and the people who left a virus ridden cruise ship early are forced into isolation. (Source: 1News)
