In the second leg of the Champions League semifinals on May 8, Beijing time, the Parc des Princes Stadium, which has a capacity of more than 40,000 people, was full. After a fierce competition, Hulmes' header helped Dortmund eliminate Paris Saint-Germain, which has a huge team of more than one billion, 2-0 on aggregate, and returned to the Champions League final after 11 years.
At the beginning of the game, Paris Saint-Germain, sitting at home, took the lead in the attack. Kylian Mbappe and Sergio Ramos shot back, but neither could break the deadlock. However, the Parisian side's attacking tactics were too simplistic, relying mainly on low crosses from the flanks, which made it difficult for them to break through the Dortmund defence.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, remained cautious, focused on defense and waited for opportunities to switch attacks. Although the Dortmund team did not achieve much, their solid defence and quick counter-attacks put PSG under a lot of pressure.
Hurmes headed home and Borussia Dortmund broke the deadlock
At the start of the second half, Unai Emery's close-range shot from inside the box hit the post, a chance that was not saved by the Borussia Dortmund players. In the 50th minute, Brandt crossed from a corner, and Hurmes jumped high and scored with a header! Borussia Dortmund finally broke the deadlock and took a 2-0 aggregate lead, leaving PSG further on the back foot.
Paris Saint-Germain's defensive performance was very poor and they failed to develop an effective man-to-man defence, which led to Hurmes scoring comfortably.
Borussia Dortmund held their ground and made it to the final
As time went on, PSG continued to launch onslaught, with Sergio Ramos and Mendes shooting in quick succession, but neither could change the scoreline. Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, stepped up the attack, threatening the opposition's defence with quick counter-attacks.
In the end, time passed, the game ended, and Dortmund eliminated Paris Saint-Germain with an aggregate score of 2-0, returning to the Champions League final stage after 11 years.
