Depak Leipzig, PSG Reached Champions League Final For The First Time
JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) made history. Thomas Tuchel's team made it to the Champions League final for the first time.
This achievement was achieved by PSG after they knocked out RB Leipzig by a score of 3-0 in the semifinal match played at Estadio da Luz, Lisbon, Portugal, Wednesday morning WIB.
Angel Di Maria was an important figure in PSG's first two goals. The Argentine's free-kick was headed by Marquinhos (13 ') for the first goal. Marquinhos, who was not guarded, made goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi unable to move at all.

Towards halftime PSG doubled their lead by taking advantage of Gulacsi's less than perfect shot. The ball fell in the possession of Leandro Pardes, passed to Neymar, who then became an assist provider to be converted into a goal by Di Maria.
PSG scored the third goal in the second half. Nordi Mukiele fell while trying to throw the ball into the Leipzig area, the ball was then taken over by Di Maria who continued with a cross for Juan Bernat's header after 56 '.

Winning three goals made PSG play more relaxed. Mbappe had a good chance when his header went wide, while the French forward's next chance was when his shot was caught by goalkeeper Gulacsi.
With this victory, PSG will be waiting for the winner of another semi-final match between Bayern Munich and Olympique Lyon, in the final to be played on Sunday.
