In the early morning of May 2, Beijing time, the second match of the first leg of the Champions League semifinals was played at the Westphalen Stadium, with Dortmund facing Paris Saint-Germain.
There is still a certain gap between the two teams in terms of strength, and Dortmund's total value is "only" 460 million, which is less than Paris Saint-Germain's 1.02 billion.
Borussia Dortmund suffered a 4-1 defeat to Leipzig in the Champions League last weekend, and with two Bundesliga games without a win and three league games remaining, Dortmund are five points behind fourth-placed Leipzig.
Paris Saint-Germain also rotated last weekend, with Mbappe and other key players coming on in the second half as the team drew 3-3 with Le Havre, with Monaco losing to Lyon and Paris winning the title three rounds early.
The two teams have met in the Champions League group stage this season, with Paris winning 2-0 at home and Borussia Dortmund drawing 1-1 at home.
After the opening, Dortmund, who were playing at home, was full of momentum and once suppressed Paris in their own half. Using a ferocious high pressing, the Hornets caused a lot of trouble for Paris.
In the 11th minute, Dembele faced his old boss and fired a long-range shot that went wide, which was also the first shot for both teams.
Borussia Dortmund used their physical strength to run in search of opportunities, and in the 14th minute, Sancho won a counter-attack, Brandt sent a through ball, and Sabitzer cut in and fired from a tight angle, which was saved by Donnarumma.
In the next 15 minutes, the two teams played quite closely, fighting fiercely enough, but there were not many wonderful scenes.
In the 36th minute, Schlotterbeck sent a precise long pass, Phil Kruger successfully countered offside, stopped the ball and shot quite exciting, breaking the deadlock.
Phil Krueger scored his third goal in the Champions League this season, and the Westphalen Stadium was jubilant, and Dortmund's targeted tactics made the Parisian players quite uncomfortable.
After the goal, Dortmund still had a chance to extend the lead, and in the 43rd minute, in the face of Sabitzer's burst, Donnarumma quickly fell to the ground and completed a god-level save.
At half-time, Dortmund temporarily led 1-0. Mbappe, who is worth 180 million, was completely locked up, with 0 shots on goal in the half and only 26 touches of the ball.
At the start of the second half, PSG went into onslaught mode, and less than a minute later, Mbappe's shot hit the right post and Achraf's shot hit the left post, and Dortmund more than escaped.
Dortmund also had a chance, in the 58th minute, Sancho got rid of the defense and made an inverted triangle cross, and Phil Krueger actually put an anti-aircraft gun, which is quite a pity.
For the remainder of the game, Paris had plenty of chances, but players such as Dembele and Fabian Ruiz missed them. In the end, Dortmund won 1-0 at home against Paris Saint-Germain to seize the lead.
