PSG hosts Dortmund this Tuesday in the semi-final second leg of the Champions League. Paris is still virtually eliminated after the setback in the first leg (0-1) and moves away from qualifying after Hummels’ goal. Time is running out for players in the capital.
22:34 – Goal disallowed for Hummels! (77′)
The German defender knew he was offside when he pushed the ball into the back of the net. No double for the German defender in this PSG – Dortmund.
22:32 – Dembélé takes yellow (75′)
Frustration takes over this poorly controlled tackle from Ousmane Dembélé. Daniele Orsato issues a warning in this PSG – Dortmund.
22:31 – Barcola is locked in (74′)
The former Lyonnais goes in the direction of the goal after an excellent recovery from Dembélé but he then locks himself in the axis in the middle of the German vise.

The Parisian supporters are pushing and giving a lot of votes as the last quarter of an hour of this PSG – Dortmund begins and Paris must score twice to secure an extension.

22:17 – Ramos doesn’t fit! (60′)
Another good opportunity for Paris in this PSG – Dortmund! Vitinha interferes in the German zone of truth and finds Ramos at the penalty point but the latter goes off target to the great displeasure of Luis Enrique.

Paris was hot in this PSG – Dortmund. Marcel Sabitzer had called the ball behind the Parisian defense but Julian Brandt preferred to delay.

Luis Enrique sent three men to warm up shortly before the hour mark of this PSG – Dortmund. Asensio, Lee and Barcola could come into play.
22:14 – No reaction for Paris (57′)
The situation is worrying at the Parc des Princes. Hummels’ goal did not really wake up Luis Enrique’s men in this PSG – Dortmund. Yet time is running out.
22:13 – A first change (56′)
While he waited until the 80th minute to make his first changes last week, Edin Terzic did coaching earlier in this PSG – Dortmund. Marco Reus replaces Karim Adeyemi.
22:11 – The Germans continue (54′)

What a massive blow for the Parisians in this PSG – Dortmund! On a corner taken at the far post, Mats Hummels is the quickest and catapults the ball into the back of the net!
22:07 – The solidity of Marquinhos (48′)
The Parisian captain frames Adeyemi’s enthusiasm very well but then misses his ball back towards Donnarumma. Corner to follow for the Germans in this PSG – Dortmund.
22:05 – THE ZAIRE-EMERY POST (48′)
PARIS Knocks on Wood! Zaire-Emery inherits the leather at the far post, applies himself but hits the post while Kobel was beaten. What a huge opportunity!

After a nice relay on the right side, Hakimi crosses at the far post but Ryerson pushes back for a corner.
22:03 – The smoke bombs are out (46′)
The Parisian supporters want their team to ignite this PSG – Dortmund but are busy doing it literally in the Auteuil stand with the smoke bombs.
22:02 – Here we go again!
Paris no longer has a choice in this PSG – Dortmund. After being completely silent offensively in the first act, the Parisians must show another face to qualify for the Champions League final.
9:57 p.m. – 45 minutes left in Paris
