Mats Hummels headed in the only goal as Borussia Dortmund stunned Kylian Mbappe and Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League semi-final second leg on Wednesday, winning 1-0 on the night and advancing 2-0 on aggregate to next month’s final at Wembley.
One of football’s biggest stars has watched his dream farewell go up in flames as a major underdog continues to stun the world.
It will be their first final since 2013 when, remarkably, the match was also played at Wembley and Jurgen Klopp’s Dortmund team lost to Bayern. They have still never won the trophy despite all the money invested by their Qatari owners since the 2011 takeover, and there will be no dream send-off for Mbappe.
They were favourites to reach their first Champions League final since 2020, despite their defeat in Dortmund six days earlier. Dortmund would have been bracing themselves for an onslaught from kick-off, but that did not transpire.Mbappe took only seven minutes to produce his first attempt, yet his volley was easily saved by Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.
PSG cheaply conceded a corner, and Julian Brandt’s resulting delivery from the Dortmund right was headed in by Hummels.
