Borussia beats PSG again and returns to the Champions League final after 11 years

Eleven years after the last Champions League decision in its history, Borussia Dortmund once again secured a place in the final this Tuesday afternoon (07), where they once again defeated Paris Saint-Germain at Parc dos Principes by 1 to 0. With a solitary goal scored by defender Hummels in the French capital. the team led by Edin Terzic is looking for the club's second continental title, won in the 1996-97 season.

Well-defined strategies

In one of his last matches for PSG, Mbappé tried to lead the French club's attack, but just like in the first match, the number 7 struggled to overcome the opponent's tough marking. The good defensive performance of the Germans nullified most of the home team's chances, leaving space to counterattack at speed, especially in Adeyemi's shot saved by Donnarumma. However, none of the strategies imposed by the two managed to remove the zero from the scoreboard after the final whistle in the first stage.

Return to the decision and historic final

The playoff script remained the same for a few minutes in the second half. While the home team hit the post, the Germans took another opportunity with quick counterattacks, generating a corner. In this lift in the area, Hummels surpassed Beraldo and Marquinhos from the top and put Borussia even further ahead. Needing at least two goals to trigger extra time, Paris began to attack the offensive field, hitting the post again with Nuno Mendes' shot. Even though the ball was afraid of not going in, Mbappe and Vitinha also did not surpass the goal defended by Kobel, which guaranteed historic classification for the Dortmund team in the continental tournament.

With the result that put Borussia back in the Champions League final after 11 years, it could be the chance to meet rival Bayern Munich again, if the German club qualifies over Real Madrid this Wednesday (08). The first match between the two semi-finalists ended with a score of 1-1 at the Allianz Arena, home of the German team. If the European's decision puts Dortmund and Bayer face to face again, it would be the second meeting in history, as well as the very final of the 2012/13 season.
