On May 2, Beijing time, the first leg of the Champions League semifinals continued to be contested, and Paris Saint-Germain challenged Dortmund away. With a capacity of more than 80,000 people, the Devils' home stadium was packed, and Phil Kruger's goal was the final score, and Dort won the first leg.
In the opening stage, the two teams were particularly cautious in their tentative performance, and the Hornets sitting at home were all in a brave state, and the defensive end actively fought to successfully limit the opponent, while the offense slowly took over the game and created danger one after another, until the 36th minute Schlotterbeck made a long pass, Phil Kruger showed delicate skills, first stopping the ball at a high level, and then breaking into the penalty area with the ball to carry the defensive low shot into the deadlock.
The Devils' home court was boiling instantly, and the Hornets also continued to press more and more bravely, Sabitzer's volley was saved by Donnarumma to the ground, and Maatsen fell to the ground in the penalty area and was suspected of a foul but the referee did not indicate it. The situation in Paris seems to be relatively passive, Mbappe does not play very well as a central striker, and still has to be a breaking point on the side to make a difference, which needs to be adjusted by Enrique in time.
Back in the second half, Paris continued to attack hard, Barcola had a long-range shot confiscated, Mbappe and Achraf hit the post by a second, which was really bad luck, and Luiz missed a good chance with a close-range header. Not to be outdone, the Hornets were also not to be outdone, with Jadon Sancho breaking down the flank to create chances, Phil Kruger flanking over the crossbar before he leaped high and went down to the ground, with no indication from the referee.
Unable to open the situation for a long time, Enrique took the initiative to adjust the lineup, Muani came on to replace Balcora, the problem is to replace another winger, Mbappe's position is still very awkward, there are not many opportunities to get the ball, and it is certainly unrealistic to want him to turn the tide of the game. Achraf receives a long pass from his team-mate and sends an inverted triangle and Dembele, who is unmarked in the box, kicks it away. The rest of the game was unsuccessful, with Borussia Dortmund beating Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 to take the lead in the first leg.
