Dortmund reaches UCL final after 11 years as Hummels stuns Mbappe and PSG in Champions League 2023-24

Borussia Dortmund stuns Paris Saint-Germain to reach Champions League final

In a thrilling Champions League semifinal second leg match, Borussia Dortmund shocked Paris Saint-Germain with a 1-0 victory, advancing 2-0 on aggregate to the final at Wembley next month. Mats Hummels was the hero for Dortmund, heading in the only goal of the match five minutes into the second half at the Parc des Princes.

Despite being the underdogs, Dortmund, currently fifth in the German Bundesliga, put on a stellar performance to secure their spot in the final. This will be their first final appearance since 2013, where they lost to Bayern Munich at Wembley.

On the other hand, PSG once again fell short in a crucial knockout tie in the Champions League, failing to win the trophy despite significant investments by the Qatari owners. Star player Kylian Mbappe, who is set to leave the club at the end of the season, had hoped to end his tenure with a Champions League triumph but will now have to watch from the sidelines.

PSG hit the woodwork four times in the match, highlighting their misfortune in front of goal. Despite dominating possession, they were unable to find the back of the net, with Dortmund’s defense standing strong throughout the game.

The match was a rollercoaster of emotions, with both teams giving their all in pursuit of a spot in the final. Dortmund’s resilience and determination ultimately paid off, setting up an exciting showdown at Wembley next month.
