PSG vs Dortmund: Mbappe goes head-to-head with Sancho in crucial Champions League semi-final – team news, kick-off time
PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN face Borussia Dortmund in a much-anticipated Champions League semi-final second leg clash.
Niclas Fullkrug’s effort last week sees the German side take a 1-0 lead to France.
Dortmund have not made the Champions League final since 2013 when Jurgen Klopp’s men lost to Bayern Munich at Wembley.
But they are just a game away from having another shot at glory in London as this year’s showpiece is again under the famous arch.
Dortmund have not had a brilliant campaign domestically, with them set to finish the Bundesliga season in fifth.
But Edin Terzic has guided the club through a group of death that featured PSG, AC Milan and Newcastle.
And then followed it up with overseeing them negotiate tough tasks against PSV and Atletico Madrid in the knockout rounds.
In front of the Yellow Wall, Dortmund have been near perfect but their away form will give the Parisians hope of overturning the deficit.
They have failed to win three of their six games away from the Signal Iduna Park in Europe, including a 2-0 loss to PSG back in September.
Luis Enrique is a second leg master – he was the man behind Barcelona’s iconic Remontada comeback in 2017 when the Catalan giants came from 4-0 down to beat PSG 6-1 in the return fixture.
