LIVE – Dortmund-PSG: a highway to the final for Paris?

Luis Enrique assures us: his PSG “is ready, ready to win both games.” Crowned French champion at the weekend, for the 12th time in its history, the capital club still wants to “dream bigger”as its slogan says.

Still in the race for the treble, Kylian Mbappé’s gang, who will play the final of the Coupe de France (May 25, against Lyon), tackles, Wednesday May 1 (at 9 p.m., live with commentary on TF1info), to the great challenge of the semi-finals of the Champions League, the final step to take to hope to lift “the Big Ears Cup”, in a month, at Wembley.

Galvanized by the crazy comeback against Barça (2-3, 1-4) in the quarter-finals, the Parisians will approach the double confrontation against Borussia Dortmund, an opponent they have already beaten in the groups this season, with an extra of confidence. At Signal Iduna Park, facing the stratospheric “Yellow Wall”, a unique platform in Europe, Ousmane Dembélé’s partners will do everything to prolong the collective euphoria. And for good reason: a success in the Ruhr would open the road to the final for Paris, before the heated return match (May 7, at 9 p.m.) at the Parc des Princes.
