"Bayern is one of the best teams right now. It was very difficult. The hardest one in the season.

"We showed we can play against these teams. I will give everything for this badge."

22:44 BST - PSG boss Luis Enrique to TNT Sports"Good memories. We could leave the match with a lot of intensity. The defence were better than the attack. The character we showed against a team like Bayern is so positive. We're so happy to reach a second Champions League final in a row.

"It was very intense. Very difficult. They play football at the highest level. Both teams are similar, we love to press higher. 

"In two days I'm going to celebrate my birthday. I'm very happy. We're in the final of the Champions League. We want to give our supporters that kind of gift."

22:30 BST - Bayern Munich's Jonathan Tah to TNT Sports"They deserved to go to the final. Both games were close. They were different games - you can't compare them. They won twice so you have to give it to them. They scored the first goal really fast. They defended really good for a lot of minutes. We didn't put enough pressure on the backline.

"It feels very disappointing right now. To be successful, you have to deal with difficult moments. You can't always be the winning team. We can be proud of the way we handled ourselves and gave everything."

17:28 BST - Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany has promised to stick with his high-octane, high-risk approach in Wednesday's Champions League semi-final second leg against holders Paris Saint-Germain.

Despite the match in the French capital being lauded as one of the best games of the modern era, Kompany and his side have faced criticism for being too vulnerable at the back.

But the former central defender has repeatedly promised not to change a thing and even doubled down as six-time European Cup winners Bayern look to blast their way to the final in Budapest.

PSG head to Munich for the second leg of their semi-final against Bayern on Wednesday, defending a 5-4 lead from an incredible first meeting, which was one of the greatest matches in the competition's history.

"It was the best game I have been fortunate enough to be involved in as a coach," Luis Enrique said after that encounter at the Parc des Princes.

He nevertheless believes his side will need to score another three goals at the Allianz Arena in order to see off the German champions and secure a place in the May 30th final in Budapest.

"We knew coming into the game what was at stake. If you can't get up for that, then you can't get up for any game of football. When we went 1-0 up, I knew we were going to win. I could feel something special building."

22:12 BST - Arsenal match-winner Bukayo Saka to Amazon Prime: "It's so beautiful. We're all so happy. This was a high-pressure game, and we managed it well to get to the final.

"There's no way you'll come to this situation and not have pressure. It's a semi-final, and we're fighting for the Premier League - so we expect people to be talking about us and criticising us. We block it out and focus on getting the job done.

"It's a beautiful story, and I hope it ends well in Budapest."

18:05 BST - Bukayo Saka's return from injury has jolted Arsenal's attack back into life just in time for the Gunners to dream of a Premier League and Champions League double.

Saka scored and provided an assist for Viktor Gyokeres as Mikel Arteta's men bagged three goals for the first time in 16 games in Saturday's 3-0 win over Fulham.

All three goals arrived before Saka was withdrawn by Arteta at half-time to protect the England winger, who has been nursing an Achilles injury in recent months.

The Argentine forward, linked with a move to Arsenal as well as to Spanish champions Barcelona, has seemed at times to be getting itchy feet in the Spanish capital.

It is crucial for coach Diego Simeone and the club to convince Alvarez that he can achieve his dreams at Atletico by ousting Mikel Arteta's Premier League leaders in London.
