Then came the moment.
⚽ 78th minute – Goal!
Bayern captain Harry Kane, trying to dribble out from the back, lost the ball under pressure. It fell to Désiré Doué, the 19-year-old French wizard. Without hesitation, he blasted the ball low into the bottom corner PSG 1–0 Bayern.
🗣️ Marquinhos: “Even with blood on our knees, we knew this was our destiny.”

- 90+3′ – Lucas Hernández elbowed Raphaël Guerreiro in the air. Another red.
PSG were now down to 9 men, clinging to their lead like a team fighting for their lives.
🔥 90+6′ – Dembele Says "Goodnight!"
