The UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg between Paris Saint-Germain and Borussia Dortmund at the Parc des Princes promises high tension and elite soccer as both teams vie for a spot in the final at Wembley. Dortmund currently holds a slender 1-0 lead, courtesy of a goal from Niclas Füllkrug in the first leg. PSG, under coach Luis Enrique, will aim to overturn the deficit with a strong lineup including stars like Achraf Hakimi and Kylian Mbappé.
Dortmund, coached by Edin Terzić, will look to maintain their defensive solidity and strategic plays to secure their spot in the final. Mats Hummels and Marco Reus, in potentially their last European game, will play crucial roles for the German side. For PSG, this match holds significant importance as they aim to shed the tag of underachievers on the European stage and potentially help Mbappé win the Champions League with his home club before possible departure to Real Madrid in the summer.
The match is crucial for both teams, with PSG striving to convert their domestic success into European glory, and Dortmund aiming to reaffirm their status as a top club in Europe. With the financial disparity compared to bigger clubs, reaching the final would be a testament to Dortmund’s ability to compete at the highest level. The last time Dortmund reached the final was in 2013 when they suffered a defeat to Bayern Munich at Wembley.
As both teams battle for a spot in the final, the match is set to be a memorable night of football in Paris. The stakes are high, with PSG desperate for Champions League success and Dortmund looking to prove themselves on the continental stage once again. With the possibility of key players like Mbappé and Reus potentially playing their last European games for their respective clubs, emotions will run high as the teams give their all to secure victory and advance to the final at Wembley. Fans can catch the action on CBS, CBS Sports Network, Paramount+, Fubo, and CBS Sports Golazo in the U.S., while Univision will provide Spanish-language coverage.
