Dortmund Beat PSG to Reach Champions League Final

German Side Wins 2-0 on Aggregate After Hummels Header

Paris Saint-Germain Recovered from a Home Defeat and Falling Two Goals Behind on Aggregate at Ten

Mats Hummels secured a return to Wembley for Dortmund as PSG hit the woodwork. Borussia Dortmund produce a fine away performance to beat Paris St-Germain and reach their first Champions League final since 2013.

The German side won 2-0 on aggregate after Hummels headed in the only goal of the second leg in Paris on Tuesday. Marco Reus had given Dortmund the lead in the first leg.

PSG, who were without the suspended Neymar, were much improved from the first leg but could not find a way past Dortmund's well-organized defense. Kylian Mbappe hit the post in the first half, while Angel Di Maria curled a shot wide in the second.

Dortmund will now face either Manchester City or Tottenham Hotspur in the final on June 1.

The victory is a major achievement for Dortmund, who have not won a major trophy since the 2017 German Cup. It is also a vindication for coach Lucien Favre, who has been under pressure following a poor start to the season.

PSG, meanwhile, will be left to rue their missed chances. They had been confident of reaching the final after winning the first leg, but they were undone by Dortmund's resilience and efficiency.

The defeat is a setback for PSG's ambitious plans to win the Champions League. They have spent heavily in recent years in an attempt to build a team capable of challenging for Europe's top prize, but they have yet to reach the final.

Dortmund, on the other hand, will now be dreaming of lifting the trophy for the first time since 1997. They will be underdogs against either Manchester City or Tottenham, but they have shown that they are capable of beating the best teams in Europe.
