Borussia Dortmund secured their place in the Champions League final at Wembley with a 1-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain

Borussia Dortmund reached the Champions League final with a 2-0 aggregate win over Paris Saint-Germain. Leading 1-0 from the first leg in Dortmund, Mats Hummels doubled the German side’s advantage. PSG hit the post four times. The resilience and efficiency displayed by Dortmund throughout the match proved to be crucial, as they managed to stifle the attacking prowess of Kylian Mbappe and his teammates to secure their spot in the final.

The atmosphere at the match was truly electrifying, with PSG fans displaying numerous banners, including a provocative act of tearing up the Dortmund badge in front of the players. Despite the intimidating atmosphere, Dortmund remained composed and focused on their strategy, ultimately showcasing their exceptional defensive skills.

Kylian Mbappe had the first chance of the night, attempting a volley in the box, only to be denied by Dortmund’s goalkeeper Gregor Kobel. The match witnessed numerous missed opportunities, with both sides creating scoring chances. Dortmund’s Karim Adeyemi saw an effort deflected wide, and Julian Ryerson crashed a shot into the side netting after an impressive display of skill in the box by Niclas Fullkrug.

As the second half commenced, PSG’s Zaire-Emery struck the post from close range, highlighting Dortmund’s fortune at a crucial moment. Shortly after, Hummels rose highest to head home Julian Brandt’s corner, extending Dortmund’s lead and putting PSG in a challenging position.

Despite PSG’s relentless efforts to find the back of the net, with several close attempts including a shot from Nuno Mendes that struck the post, luck did not seem to be on their side. Even a potential penalty was denied to PSG, adding to the frustration of the French side.

As the final whistle blew, Borussia Dortmund celebrated their hard-earned victory, while PSG was left to contemplate their missed opportunities. The match was a testament to Dortmund’s tactical discipline and ability to capitalize on key moments, securing their place in the Champions League final in London on June 1. Their journey to the final has been marked by resilience, efficiency, and a steadfast determination to succeed, and they await to face the winner between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich in what promises to be an enthralling final at Wembley.
