In the early morning of May 2, Beijing time, in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, Dortmund played Paris Saint-Germain at home. In the first half, Paris was scoreless, with no one on target in three shots, Dort had three of four shots on target, and Schlotterbeck assisted Phil Krueger to score a one-man goal. In the second half, the onslaught of Paris was still unsuccessful, Mbappe hit the post, Dembele missed a good chance, and finally lost 0-1 to Dort, and was eliminated in the second leg after returning to the home court for a draw.
This is the second meeting between the two teams after the group stage, and now they have advanced to the last four together, and it also highlights that Paris, Dort, Newcastle and Milan really form a super group of death.
In the group stage, Dort beat Paris and finally broke through from the group of death as the group leader, but faced Paris home and away with a winless record of 1 draw and 1 loss. Paris is worth as much as 1.02 billion euros, Mbappe alone is as high as 180 million euros, and Dort is only worth 460 million euros, which is also a blockbuster showdown of more than 1 billion euros, and the subsequent announcement of the starting lineup, the two sides are also worth more than 2 times, Paris 680 million euros, Dort 260 million euros.
After the opening kick-off, Paris tried to counter-attack, using possession to threaten Dort's backline.
In the 6th minute, Achraf broke through with the ball in front of the field and collided with Adeyemi and fell to the ground, and the referee did not indicate it. In the 11th minute, Dembele volleyed into the far corner from the edge of the penalty area, and the ball went straight wide.
In the 13th minute, Dort created his first threatening attack since the opening period, Brandt sent a through ball and Sabitzer cut into the box and his shot was saved by goalkeeper Donnarumma.
In the 29th minute, Sancho burst into the penalty area after successive passes in the front, and chose to do it back in the face of many defenders, and Brandt followed up with a powerful shot that was blocked by the Paris defender.
In the 36th minute, Schlotterbeck sent an assist from the backfield, Phil Krueger stepped forward to form a single chance, and finally burst into the penalty area and scored with a low shot, helping Dort break the deadlock on the field 1-0, and the 80,000 fans at the scene fell into a boil.
Judging from the goal conceded this time, Paris's defensive line has problems with positioning and concentration, giving Dort a chance to play the ball behind.
According to statistics, Paris has not won in the past three away challenges to Dort, with a record of 1 draw and 2 losses, including 11 draws in the final round of the group stage this season.
In addition, Dort's last 10 Champions League home games are unbeaten, with a record of 6 wins and 4 draws, which is a team record, and it is not easy for Paris to complete the reversal, because Mbappe was limited in the half without a single shot, and the Paris attack was basically paralyzed.
In the second half, Mbappe began to come alive, sending key passes many times, and hitting the post once, but unfortunately Paris still couldn't attack for a long time, and finally fell 0-1, and Dort continued to be winless in 4 away challenges. The next week, the two sides play a second-leg clash in which Dort only needs a draw to advance and return to the Champions League final after 11 years.
