In the second leg of the Champions League semifinals on May 8, Beijing time, Paris Saint-Germain faced Dortmund at the Parc des Princes. In the first half, Paris attacked eight shots to no avail, and Dortmund counter-attacked more threatening. In the second half, Hummels won with one blow, and Paris hit the woodwork four times and struggled to score a goal, and finally Dortmund overthrew Paris Saint-Germain 1-0, with an aggregate score of 2-0 over two legs, and advanced to the Champions League final again after 11 years.
The first leg was supposed to be Mbappe's stage, but Phil Krueger suddenly scored the winner to take a one-goal lead at home, and due to the excellent performance of this lineup, Dortmund's starting lineup for this game was the same as the first leg, with Sancho and Phil Krueger still leading the game. Dort's starting lineup is 260 million euros.
Enrique made two changes to his starting line-up, with Bernardo replacing the injured Lucas at left centre-back and Ramos replacing Barcola as centre-forward as a proactive change, allowing Mbappe to return to the familiar left. The Paris starting lineup is worth a total of 670 million euros.
The two sides exchanged offense and defense in the opening stage, and Dortmund won a free kick in front of the goal in the opening 1 minute, and Maatsen's long pass was intercepted by Donnarumma in front of goal. Achraf crossed from the right and Ramos stepped forward to shoot in the box but was parried by Kerber. Paris were more aggressive, with Achraf and Dembele creating more space on the right. In the 7th minute, Dembele's cross from the right was cleared, and Mbappe's volley from the back of the penalty area was saved.
Dort continued to dominate Sancho's attack on the right, with Adeyemi receiving Sancho's return ball on the line of the box and a direct volley was blocked. Borussia Dortmund pressed high in central midfield, Marquinhos passed back to the goalkeeper, and Donnarumma was too pressed to kick the ball off the touchline. The Vitinha midfielder sent in a penetrating through ball and Ramos turned and volleyed wide of the net in front of the penalty line.
The pace of attack and defense on the field was relatively fast, but the two teams were still in a state of cautious tentativeness, and neither side pressed too far forward in formation. In the first 20 minutes, the two sides had similar possession, each sending three shots on goal. Paris are keen to protect on the left flank, especially when Mendes presses forward, and Fabian will protect him at the back in case Sancho takes advantage of opportunities on this side. Despite this, Sancho was able to force his way past Mendes on the right and cross into the box was blocked. The ensuing set-piece attack was followed by a volley from the right side of the Ryerson penalty area that hit the side-netting.
The two sides spent too much time fighting for the ball in midfield, with Paris being more active on the wings, holding Borussia Dortmund at bay midway through the half, and Mbappe gaining more possession and becoming the heart of the team. In the 27th minute, Mbappe made a return on the right, and Vitinha fired wide from outside the box. Four minutes later, Mbappe cut inside from the left and crossed to the weak side, and Dembele received a penetrating through ball from Emery on the right side of the penalty area.
Dembele is still squandering his chances, both in his shots and in his passes. In the 35th minute, Fabian went down to do it, and Mbappe's shot in front of the small box was blocked by Hummels. The siege in front of Paris was fruitless and Dortmund counterattacked, Adeyemi rushed into the box with the ball and pushed the ball out of Donnarumma.
Just before half-time, Vitinha fired again from the edge of the area, but Kerber easily cleared the ball. Mbappe broke through the box on the right and crossed, and Fabian's long-range shot from outside the box hit the opponent and went just wide of the goal. The two teams drew 0-0 at half-time. Paris pressed up front, but with little effect, and their attacking threat was not as good as Dortmund's quick counter-attack.
The second half was a Parisian nightmare. Hummels headed in a cross from a corner in the 49th minute to give Dort a 1-0 lead. Paris, which trailed by 2 goals on aggregate, attacked frantically, but Mbappe, Vitinha, Mendes, and Emery couldn't score when they hit the woodwork with 4 shots. In the end, Dort won the second leg 1-0, completed the double against Paris, and reached the Champions League final again after 11 years. The final opponent will be the winner of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, with the two Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dort expected to meet in the final.
