Match Breakdown: Kane Extinguishes PSV Hopes

Saibari Equalizer: PSV fought back valiantly, and Ismael Saibari appeared to have saved their European season when he slammed home a 78th-minute equalizer.
Kane’s Milestone: The celebration was short-lived as Harry Kane, who entered the match in the 62nd minute, side-footed home a Luis Diaz cross for his 35th goal of the season.
Record Pursuit: Kane’s winner cements his status as the highest scorer in the competition since joining Munich, now totaling 26 goals in the Champions League during that span.

The Injury Report: Musiala Returns, Neuer Benched

Vincent Kompany made several bold calls for today’s high-stakes finale.

Jamal Musiala: Having recovered from a broken leg suffered in July, Musiala looked sharp in his return, playing 90 minutes and underlining his quality with the opening goal.
Goalkeeper Switch: Jonas Urbig was surprisingly picked ahead of Manuel Neuer, justifying the selection with six saves to keep the hosts at bay during a frantic first half.
Kane’s Impact: Despite starting on the bench to manage his minutes, Kane proved once again to be the competition’s most “efficient attacking player," scoring with one of his only touches of the match.
