Borussia Dortmund showcased a commanding performance away from home, clinching a crucial victory against Paris St-Germain to secure their spot in the Champions League final for the first time since 2013.


Holding a slim 1-0 lead from the first leg of the semi-final, Dortmund bolstered their advantage as Mats Hummels rose unmarked to head in from Julian Brandt’s corner.


Despite PSG's early chance to level the score in the second half, Warren Zaire-Emery’s volley hit the post from close range, squandering a golden opportunity.

Dortmund capitalized on their lead, frustrating the French champions with a resilient defensive display.


PSG's misfortune continued as Nuno Mendes struck the post, and a potential penalty for the hosts was overturned by referee Daniele Orsato, ruling a foul on Ousmane Dembele occurred just outside the box.


In his final European match for PSG before his move to Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappe saw his effort deflected onto the crossbar, summing up PSG's night of near misses. Dortmund's opponents hit the woodwork for the sixth time in the tie when Vitinha struck the bar.


The final showdown will take place at Wembley on Saturday, 1 June (20:00 BST), with the prospect of an all-German clash, reminiscent of the 2013 final in London when Bayern Munich edged past Dortmund 2-1.


In the second semi-final of 2024, Bayern and Real Madrid played out a 2-2 draw in Germany, setting the stage for a thrilling second leg in Spain.


Dortmund aims to add to their European glory, having previously clinched the title with a 3-1 victory over Juventus in the 1997 final.
