But nothing worked. PSG were losing their teeth, facing Borussia who had even changed their approach to move to 5 behind, just to defend this lead thoroughly. They even scored a second goal 15 minutes from time, but it was logically canceled for an offside position. Mbappé thought to reignite the suspense in the 86th minute, but his delivery hit… the bar. The amounts, once again, saved Borussia. Vitinha, in the process, also found the crossbar. In 80 seconds, two hits on the bar, which brings to 6 the number of balls having found the uprights in the two matches.
PSG is eliminated, Dortmund will go to Wembley on June 1. It will be against Real Madrid or Bayern Munich, who face each other tomorrow.
IT’S FINISH !
End of the match! Dortmund suffered but validated their ticket to the Champions League final by winning 0-1 in Paris!
90’+2
Penalty?
Mbappé believes he gets a penalty, slightly hanging in the area. The referee doesn’t give it.
86′
BAR !
Mbappé places on the bar! PSG is really poorly paid for this action. The Frenchman takes over from the penalty spot after a ping-pong in the rectangle and the ball hits the bar!
82′
Marquinhos!
Marquinhos plays Hummels well in the air, on a free kick from the right. His header is good and goes just wide of the post.
81′
MBAPPE
Mbappé is launched on the right side and manages to hit from a tight angle, but Kobel counters the ball. PSG pushes again!
77′
GOAL CANCELED!
PSG is close to 0-2. Goal canceled for an offside position in the small rectangle, that’s fair.
74′
Mbappé, remotely
New distant attempt, this time from Mbappé from the left side. Far too high.
70′
It calms down a little
PSG are still looking to put pressure on, but the pace has dropped a little. Borussia is 20 minutes away from a Champions League final.
66′
Fear in Dortmund
We thought it was a penalty for PSG, but the fault was ultimately committed outside, just in front of the line. Asensio does not take advantage of it. Süle replaces Sancho, Dortmund will play with a 5-man defense.
62′
RAMOS!
Nuno Mendes once again finds Ramos right in the middle of the area, who puts it over again. Barcola and Asensio replace Ramos and Ruiz. Paris is wasting!
61′
POST AGAIN!
Nuno Mendes sends a superb long shot, everyone is beaten. The ball hits the post, it’s the fourth in the two matches for the Parisians!
60′
RAMOS!
What an opportunity, again! Vitinha does a great job on the right and finds Ramos at the penalty spot. The Portuguese puts too much height and the ball flies away!
55′
PSG can’t do it
The Parisians are clueless at the moment. This goal hurts them! Reus replaces Adeyemi at Dortmund.
50′
THE BUUUUUUT!
Corner played intelligently by Borussia Dortmund! Hummels is left alone in the small rectangle and propels the ball deep into his head! It’s 0-1!
47′
Paris leaves strong
Huge opportunity for Zaire-Emery! Ramos is found in the middle, deflects the ball towards Zaire-Emery who finds the post on the right of the goal!
45′
We’re getting back on track
The meeting is restarted. PSG has only 45 minutes left to avoid elimination, while Dortmund is one half away from a big feat.
45’+1
It’s the break
No goal at rest. Dortmund are, at this stage, in the Champions League final. PSG have tried but have not found a way to get ahead so far. The Germans are managing their advantage. See you in fifteen minutes.
45′
OH THE OPPORTUNITY!
Big mistake from Adeyemi who misses his pass, the ball finally arrives at Fabian Ruiz who sends a very powerful strike, blocked by the defense. What an opportunity!
41′
VITINHA!
Vitinha, slightly shifted to the left, sends a nice shot from 20 meters. Kobel grabs leather easily.
40′
Mbappé lonely
Kylian Mbappé is caught between three players and comes out on the left, but his cross only finds Kobel.
36′
OH THE DOUBLE ACTION!
PSG goes ahead but loses the ball in the opponent’s area. Dortmund counters and Adeyemi rockets off quickly and manages to hit to the right. Superb parade from Donnarumma!
31′
Great action!
Here it is, the first real Parisian breakthrough. Mbappé enters the game, serves Zaire-Emery who shifts Dembélé to the right. The shot goes above, but the construction was beautiful!
27′
A little less danger
The Parisians have not yet found a way to increase the pace. Vitinha sends a big long shot, slips and sees the ball fly away. Dortmund play a little in management, without taking any risks to defend this one-goal advantage.
19′
BIG STRIKE!
Ryerson doesn’t go far from the first goal! He is found in the area, off-center on the right side and sends a powerful shot, but it goes just wide of the goal.
17′
Paris is looking for itself
Offensively, we feel that PSG has good intentions, but it lacks a little precision in the last pass. Dortmund are playing the counterattack and doing it well so far.
13′
RAMOS!
Vitinha gives a very good ball to Ramos, just in front of the semi-circle of the rectangle. He controls and hits, but crosses too much to the left.
11′
Small German pressure
Marquinhos is in a duel with Adeyemi and gives a very dangerous back pass. Donnarumma can only dismiss in touch and in the following phase: Füllkrug shifts Adeyemi well in the area, but his shot is deflected.
7′
Mbappé!
Mbappé gets a first opportunity. He is there, like a fox, on the left of the area and volleys a ball. But Kobel takes the leather well.
3′
First attempt
Dortmund’s attempt at a free kick, but the header goes straight into Donnarumma’s hands. In the process, Hakimi overflows and finds Ramos in the area, whose extension recovery is harmless.
0′
Let’s go !
We’re in place, too: let’s go for the semi-final return between PSG and Dortmund!

The latest details
We take stock of the latest details of this interesting duel, with Vincenzo Ciuro, present at the Parc des Princes.
8:30 p.m.
Return to the first leg
Let’s recap the first leg. 1-0 for the ‘BVB’, who had managed to win at home, somewhat to everyone’s surprise. Enough to put the pressure back on PSG.
8:20 p.m.
The beautiful story
Kjell Wätjen, a young 18-year-old German, will be on the bench this evening for Dortmund. It’s the great story of the day, since just this morning, he was taking an exam… in mathematics.
8:01 p.m.
We don’t change anything
On the Borussia Dortmund side, we are playing for continuity. No change in the eleven compared to the first leg. Füllkrug, scorer at home, is aligned at the forefront. Sancho, very solid on the right, starts on the right. Hummels will be the leader of the defense.
7:59 p.m.
Mbappé repositioned
The compositions have fallen. At PSG, Beraldo replaces Hernandez in the defensive axis, the Frenchman suffering from a serious knee ligament injury. We will also note the repositioning of Kylian Mbappé, placed on the left, which means that Gonçalo Ramos will start up front. Barcola slips on the bench, he who started in the first leg.
7:57 p.m.
Good evening everyone !
