Champions League underdogs To get to the final, Dortmund defeated PSG.

Mats Hummels’ goal in the second half of Borussia Dortmund’s match against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday gave the visitors a 1-0 triumph and a well-earned 2-0 victory on aggregate over the two legs. This victory allowed Dortmund to go to their third Champions League final.
Five minutes into the second half, Hummels headed home from a corner to take the 1997 champion German club into their first European club championship final since 2013.

They will play in the final at Wembley on June 1 against either six-time winners Bayern Munich or 14-time champion Real Madrid, who face at the Bernabéu on Wednesday after a 2-2 draw in the first leg.
Kylian Mbappé, who is generally anticipated to depart the club at the conclusion of the season, was unable to make a significant effect on the game as PSG struck the woodwork four times but were unable to reach the back of the goal.
According to PSG captain Marquinhos, “we lacked efficiency.”
“There are still advantages to be gained from this contest. Nobody anticipated that we would go so far in the beginning. Now that we have a new coach and a fresh idea, we’re in the semifinals.”
Edin Terzic, the coach of Dortmund, said his club deserved to be in the championship game.
“I’m overjoyed and quite pleased. We maintained a clean sheet and defeated PSG. We deserve to get to the final, even though we had some luck,” he said.
After finishing as runners-up in 2020, Luis Enrique’s squad came into the match as the favourites to advance to their second final. They got off to a fast start, and in the seventh minute, Mbappé had their first opportunity with a half-volley as the home team applied further pressure.
Mbappé had some room out wide and the opportunity to cut in and threaten the Dortmund goal with Gonçalo Ramos as the lone striker and Mbappé on the left wing.
But the guests remained calm and steadfast. As their self-assurance increased, Julian Ryerson gave them their first chance, but his shot struck the side netting.
Dortmund had a better opportunity in the 35th minute when Gianluigi Donnarumma made an incredible stop to deny Karim Adeyemi after a quick counterattack and a terrible mistake by Mbappé.
The fact that the score was tied at the interval was fortunate for PSG.
After the interval, Luis Enrique’s team picked up a gear when Warren Zaïre Emery’s effort struck the outside of the post after Mbappé’s was diverted into his path by Ramos.
However, Dortmund were more efficient as Hummels doubled the German side’s lead across the two games five minutes after the half with a header from a corner.
Nuno Mendes’ 25-meter effort struck the post after Ramos’s attempt on the turn went just over, and PSG responded quickly.
A second effort by Mbappé was deflected onto the bar, and Vitinha’s strong drive struck the post as well.
After the hour mark, Ousmane Dembélé of PSG was a continuous danger, but like the rest of the club, the striker from France entered the game far too late against a team that maintained calm and deserved to be in the final.
