Borussia Dortmund is the first finalist of the 2024 Champions League. With a goal from Hummels in the 50th minute the Germans replicated the result of the first leg by defeating Mbappe and Donnarumma’s Paris Saint Germain 1-0 in the second leg semi-final, this time in Paris . PSG is also unlucky: they produce many chances, but hit the woodwork of the yellow and black goal 4 times: Zaire-Emery’s post at 0-0, then Nuno Mendes’ post, in the final crossbars hit by Mbappé and Vitinha. Now Borussia awaits the winner of the other semi-final between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, which ended 2-2 in the first leg at the Germans’ home. The final will be played on Saturday 1 June at 9pm in London.
The news of PSG-Borussia Dortmund 0-1 (HIGHLIGHTS)
Ready to go with PSG, who must make up for the goal conceded in Germany, to play the game by building some good opportunities with Ramos, Mbappè and Dembelè, but Luis Enrique’s team must be very careful of the speed of Dortmund who, when they find space, manage to make yourself very dangerous. And right on a restart the Germans are one step away from taking the lead: Adeyemi is very fast and sows panic in the Parisian defence, he enters the area and shoots, only a great reflex from Donnarumma avoids the 0-1. At the start of the second half, Paris Saint Germain has the greatest chance of the match: from the development of a corner, the ball reaches the far post for Zaire Emery who shoots from a few steps away, the ball against the post. A few moments later, however, Borussia scored the lead, putting a serious threat to their qualification for the Wembley final. From the development of a corner from the left, a perfect third half by Hummels who heads the ball and puts it in from a few steps. A cold shower for Mbappé and his teammates who try to react by hitting another post with Nuno Mendes. Dortmund, however, defended with order and still made themselves dangerous. In the end, after two more PSG goals, the celebration is all for the Germans who have only one Champions League win in their trophy cabinet in 1997, when they beat Juventus in the final.
