The PSG stars wasted chances, and Dortmund built a fragile lead | Sports

The only goal was scored by the yellow-black team at the end of the first half, impressively supported by their fans.

In the 36th minute, Niclas Fullkrug received a pass from the depth of the field and disarmed PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma with a classic shot.

The Paris club, who defended the title of French champions last weekend, fought back in the second half, but were unable to find a goal.

The Parisians had two wonderful chances in the 51st minute, with both Kylian Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi hitting different posts within seconds, but the ball never crossed the line.

PSG had more wonderful chances in the second half, perhaps the best of them in the 81st minute when Ousmane Dembele wasted the ball over the bar from a perfect position.

In the second half, PSG created almost one and a half goals according to the expected goals (xG) statistic, but still did not find anything in the Borussia goal.

The return meeting of these teams will be played on May 7 at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris.

“Borussia” aims to reach the final for the third time – so far the “Prussians” have played there in 1997 and 2013. PSG’s only title challenge came in the 2020s when they went down to Bayern Munich.

There was no winner in the first semi-final of the Champions League on Tuesday, as Bayern and Real Madrid drew 2-2 in Germany. The return match will be played in the Spanish capital on May 8.
