Borussia Dortmund – Paris Saint-Germain: Dortmund surprises low-key PSG and takes advantage in the return match

ORtarget Full circle decided in Signal Iduna Park in front of the “Yellow Wall”: 1-0. The German striker set the tone in a game full of chances… but where did he find the goal? Terzic’s team carried out their “threat” and surprised the PSG team, which was the main contender for reaching the final at Wembley, but only woke up in the second half. Mbappe and Achraf hit the post, Kobel became loud, and Dortmund, in turn, also conceded 2-0 several times. Paris and the Parc des Princes will render a verdict within six days.

The move to Dortmund was not easy for PSG. For some reason, Luis Enrique refused to play the “favorite” role in the preview. Already at the group stage, the Gauls did not go further than a draw (1-1) in Germany, and Terzic’s Borussia did not reach the semi-finals of the Champions League without demonstrating any arguments. While it is true that PSG started better, pressing high and creating danger, the match soon descended into marshy terrain.

which the local team took advantage of.

Work, effort, sacrifice. This is how the match in Dortmund was decided who personified this in the image Adeyemi. He and Maatsen surrendered to stop attacks from Dembele and Achraf on the right. The Moroccan had little to show for his return to Signal Iduna Park.

Half an hour later a surprise came. Füllkrug’s goal. An employee from the area who scores and generates in almost equal shares. The Germany striker (16 goals and 10 assists in 2023/24) took advantage of Schlotterbeck’s long pass to easily beat Fabian and Lucas Hernandez. He definitely scored against Donnarumma. To make matters worse for PSG, Lucas injured his left knee while scoring after colliding with a Hannover striker.

“Crazy” second part

The tie could have seriously changed before the break. Another warning from Dortmund that never stopped growing. Donnarumma maintained Sabitzer’s 2-0 lead. However, he did not score. And PSG took advantage of this “extra life”. The second movement was from Les Rouge et Bleu.

Barcola rebelled and launched PSG attacks. And the loud warning sounded twice: first Mbappe hit the long post, then Achraf crossed too far after the continuation of play. Double shot into the forest.

PSG did not stop, on the contrary. Kobel evaded Mbappe’s goal, PSG grew and found space in the left sector. Fabian Ruiz forgave the draw with a point-blank shot that went too far. Marquinhos came up with a controversial pass Meanwhile, Luis Enrique fell into despair within the group. There is so much that cannot be forgiven in the Champions League.

But the game was crazy. And failure meant giving your opponent a choice. Dortmund found oxygen and managed to kill the first match again. Füllkrug squandered a 2-0 lead after a superb performance from the brilliant Jadon Sancho. Since Donnarumma had already been defeated, he was done. A few minutes later, from the set-piece, Terzic’s team warned again. But PSG still had some strength left, and they tested Kobel again. The Swiss made an impressive save against Dembele. A goal… but a game without respite and full of chances.

And there were more of them. Dembele and Fabian lost to PSG; Brandt did the same before Donnarumma’s goal in a brilliant defensive performance from Marquinhos. But no one scored. Only Füllkrug reached the goal and left the score in the return match: 1-0. PSG, if they want to reach the second Champions League final in their history, will have to return to the Parc des Princes.
