Paris Saint-Germain have navigated the knife's edge of European football, advancing to the Champions League final in Budapest on a 6-5 aggregate after Bayern Munich's Harry Kane leveled the second leg in injury time. The defending champions held on not through dominance, but through the quieter virtue of having done enough when it mattered most. They will now face Arsenal, and the question Europe's football faithful will carry into that final is whether resilience alone can sustain a dynasty.
