PSG reached the Champions League final after a 6-5 aggregate victory over Bayern. Following a 5-4 win in Paris, the return leg at the Allianz Arena ended in a 1-1 draw. A decisive goal by Ousmane Dembele sent the Parisians to the final, according to reports Goal.com.
The main talking point of the match was the defensive tactic Luis Enrique employed against Michael Olise. The French winger, who has recorded 21 goals and 30 assists this season, was kept under complete control by Nuno Mendes.
Social media users noted the unusual movements of PSG goalkeeper Matvei Safonov during goal kicks. The keeper deliberately directed the ball toward the flank where Olise was positioned. Reminiscent of NFL tactics, this method served to push the opponent's most dangerous player to the touchline and limit his attacking potential.
Through this tactic, PSG stifled Bayern's attacks on the right flank and prevented Olise from moving freely. The Parisians will now face Arsenal, who defeated Atletico Madrid, in the final to be held in Budapest on May 30.
